The Alley!

[Michael Alexander]

A new trend for the last 10 years in Omund, is to block up the alley's, I'm not to sure, but somebody did say it was to prevent people from urinating in them and to prevent them being used as a springboard to break into peoples houses...

But aren't they still an integral part of the town?

[Andrew Darné]

You would think so... fuel prices up and up, the place is small enough to walk everywhere. Besides the company has stopped the old bus route around town. The bus goes from PCC up 8th Ave to 6th Str and then left down 9th Ave and back to mine road past the swimming pool.
There are so many cars in this town now, it's unreal, even taxis (that own the road).

Hi,

What a Godsend those alleys were. My personal best time from 55-1st Avenue to school was 13 minutes!

Carl.

[barb (Fry)]

what a same, but urine smelling strips of dust would be unpleasant.

[Michael Alexander]

Carl, did you leap over the poles on the alley or go around them? I leaped over the ones.... E7-1st all the way to the park...in about 3 minutes...something...these days I'd just have to run straight through those poles....   

[barb (Fry)]

or thro the fences they are putting up to block them, firewood someone mentioned earlier.

I was a good little kid and went around the poles. If you can remember, I was rather chubby at the time and would have probably got stuck...

[Michael Alexander]

Ja.... I know the feeling, I was skinny and am now a little chubby at this time.....

The long 7th ave alley, all those red things we ate and used to stain our school shirts racing down the alley on you bike

[Michael Alexander]

My back gate blocks that alleyway off these days...... in essence that alley ends in my garden.....

[Alfred Boehme]
