Cool little pass throughs, alleys, etc…it’s part of what makes city living so cool. At the same time, it affords people the opportunity to do less than savory things (sell drugs or themselves, use it as a bathroom, etc). This little cut through from Race to the Vine/McMicken park is pretty cool, it’s a shame it was just fenced off due the drug activity. But fences are only temporary, and the more residents that move in and keep their eyes on the street, the less alleyways and the like become desirable dope spots. I hope I’m reposting this a few years from now when it’s covered in new paint, new lighting, and surrounded by new housing.
