Obvious attempts have been made to keep this section of the alley clean and free of debris. A few planks over the wet path make for easier passage, and lead up to an open area of dry land covered by a canopy. Youngsters clad in hand-me-downs scamper by you, carrying books. A hand-lettered sign affixed to a post driven into the soggy soil somehow manages to remain upright.
