Friday, October 4, 2024
BRONX -- The stairs in the Bronx made famous in the 2019 movie "Joker" got a huge facelift over the summer.

Today a ribbon-cutting ceremony was held for the Shakespeare Stairs in the Highbridge section of the Bronx.

The stairs are now covered in a colorful mural-- as part of the CITYArts Community Identity program.

The nonprofit organization encourages children and adults to reflect on their identities, highlight their heritage and beautify their communities while addressing social and civic issues.

WABC-TV is proud to be a community partner with CITYarts.
