Alley Life

[Laurie Verge]

On one of these threads, mention was made about the alleys in Washington and the people who lived in them. I could not remember the name of the book that was written about this, but I now have it in hand - thanks to Joan Chaconas, my staff member who is a whiz at D.C. history.

If interested, try locating Alley Life in Washington: Family, Community, Religion, and Folklife in the City, 1850-1970. Author is James Borchert, Published by University of Illinois Press in 1980.
