Bay Area Back Alley replicates a San Francisco phenomenon; grassy alleys between backyards leading to the occasional garage; traveled mostly by dog-walkers; used as shortcuts by neighbors and locals. Our intent is to evoke the mood of an actual stretch of dirt road called Ohlone Way in the neighborhood of Glen Park Canyon.  As a plain brown paper might be the wrapping for a heartfelt gift, so our little unpaved lane opens into surprise and delight. Emerging from black berry brambles and flaming fennel, one rounds a bend to be greeted by a startlingly cheery and eclectic jumble of flowers, furniture, and knick-knacks.
