Stairway Stars    Each stairway is rated from 1 star (poor condition, minimal length) to 5 stars (the longest, toughest, steepest stairways).  Stairways in particularly interesting locations are given an extra star; stairways in questionable neighborhoods or locations are given one less star than otherwise they would normally receive.  There are 15 5-star stairways:    Gil's Stairs, Hood River, OR  56th Street Steps, Pittsburgh, PA  Howe Stairway, Seattle, WA  Filbert East Stairway, San Francisco, CA  Ray Avenue Steps, Pittsburgh, PA  Thistle Stairway, Seattle, WA  Main Street Steps, Cincinnati, OH  Onique Stairway, San Francisco, CA  Rising Main Way Steps, Pittsburgh, PA  Yard Way Steps, Pittsburgh, PA  Grouse Grind, North Vancouver, BC  Baldwin Hills Stairway, Culver City, CA  Muckle Flugga Lighthouse Stairway, Shetland Islands, UK  Spitzhaus Stairway, Radebeul, Germany  Murphy Ranch East Stairway, Los Angeles, CA    Do you know of any other 5-star stairways?
