Probably most alleys have their own story. The ones in downtown Marietta are no exception..
Here is a fancy decorated alley, between what was Theater of the Square and Dupre's. I think it was an intermission lobby for smokers.
This alley is actually a street a rock's throw from the train depot and the prime hotel during the Civil War.
In this alley a policeman chased a man into it, knowing it was a dead in. The man being pursued turned around with a gun and aimed at the cop and pulled the trigger. It only clicked. It wasn't time for my father to go.
Outside dining.
This alley, bordered a movie theater at one time. Once, after a movie, a man, apparently watching the movie alone, stepped outside and put a gun to his head and killed himself. It must have been some movie!
Root Street is an alley too. As you can see, it is an upscale alley, no one- eye cats chasing huge rats or anything like that.
