I especially like the before and after photos that show how specific shots from the movie look today. I live in the L.A. area and visit the Music Box Steps every once in a while, but I'm fascinated with them and really enjoyed reading your page about them. Oh, I thought there were only 131 steps, too. Very interesting and entertaining! I especially like the before and after photos that show how specific shots from the movie look today.

I have 131 in my book. Hmm, my guess is that they haven't added two more steps since the mid-1980s. Can you or Jimmy verify that it's really 133? As you know, I'm doing a major revision of my Laurel & Hardy book and would like to ensure that I've got the right number! Okay, so you counted 133 steps? I have 131 in my book.

I believe it was a weekend in the October or November(?)...and I was puzzled as to why there were balloons tied all the way up the railing. Well, I later learned in what I think was an issue of the ITJ, that the very day I had been there was an anniversary of sorts. I had missed seeing Mr. Bann & Mr. Maltin at the steps by mere minutes! However, it was certainly good karma to be there on such an auspicious day. You’ll know the facts better than I will, but I visited the steps for the one and only time in 1994.
