Uh, would that be a red light Terry.

Ken looks as if you are off to a good start.
Rather plain Jane right now but I am sure that problem will soon be fixed.

Ken I like the paint job you did on the brick and mortar. The rust on the garage door looks real good too. What's next?

Made a little more progress this evening.



Also started on the other wall...



I'm going to try a painted on sign on the right hand building. Wanted to make it faded white...shoe polish or paint????????

Any suggestions on what might be found in this Alley? What would you like to see?

Depending on the era you are modeling.

A good back alley brawl.
Ladies of the evening.
Kids pitching baseball cards.
A cock fight.
A stickball or whiffle ball game.
panhandlers or drunks.
A game of dice in progress.
A car being stripped.
I will try to think of more from my demented youth.

I would do that Ken,
Most of the alleys I spent time in during my youth were at least a city block long.
The best one was right behind the corner drug store where we would all meet for a Cherry Coke and then head out into the alley for some fun.

I will admit to being 13 or 14 at the time so I may not have seen or done everything I mentioned.

Ken, how about some graffiti on the walls? And a nice black cat....

Plus, I really like John's idea of a car being stripped....
