Converging Alley Jun 22, 2004

I found this interesting little alley near Queen and Spadina. There's a few things about it I liked.. First, the alley is a wedge — you can't actually walk through this and out the other side — the buildings actually connect at the far end. Second, there's a little gate restricting access as if it was a small park or private garden. And third (this will be tough to see in this image at the web resolution) — somebody has placed a horizontal bar between the two walls and hung a swing. That final point would make this the most urban playground I've ever seen...

(the graffiti helps too...)
