I'm currently visiting Dallas and I discovered the lovely, peaceful alleys for walking in the Oak Cliff/Bishop Arts area. I especially like the
unpaved ones. My presence as I passed behind some houses stirred up some viscous sounding dogs but they were all secure behind their fences.
I happened on a pigeon coop and I peered through the fence to meet the owner feeding his pigeons, he told me about them, I think they were texan pioneer pigeons.
Large rotund squabs. Beautiful.
I was surprised to find the alleys fairly clean, some trash but nothing too gross. Many people seemed to have the alley
completely fenced off from their house, I guess it gives them privacy but in turn made the alley seem private for a walker.
All of the alleys felt like a walk down a country lane. Very fun. Did not see another
person using or walking the whole way. Its a pleasant way to get a different perspective of the neighborhood.
