Lurking in Alleys

We know it sounds a bit sinister, but The Fuzz has been lurking around in alleys lately.

So here we have…

Another alley shot…

This is a bit unusual place.

What are all those plants doing in this doorway?

What is going on inside there?

And there is an "inside" involved…

A parking place.

Back in it's day, this was a large department store.  But it suffered the fate of so many and lay empty for a long time…

Until someone got the idea for this renovation.

The original building was pretty much eliminated except for the part along the street.

This was converted into small shops with apartments above.

As can be seen, the steel framing and exterior walls were left, but the inside was converted into parking for the tenants.

Seems like a pretty good idea.
