It seems like every fricken alley in the DTES has a nickname.............


Shanghai Alley, Blood Alley, Hogan's Heroes, Canton Alley, etc.

Then, there's MG1 Alley. It's quite famous now that Deadpool came out. The apartment dude was in was the very same MG1 grew up in. I couldn't believe it when my son told me of this. Went out and bought the DVD. Sure enough, the same brick wall. I don't think the actual room itself was even shot on location. It was too clean to be the same one, lol. Dead, pun intended, giveaway was..........no cockroaches or mice in the movie. Like WTF? That's what made that place so special.

Anyway, carry on carrying on.

Dirty look from MG1 can melt steel beams.
