Fan Tan Alley

This is marginally better than my previous Fan Tan Alley blip.

Fan Tan Alley is named after the gambling game, Fan Tan, which was played with buttons or beads in the opium dens that used to line the lane. One of the shops still has an opium den set up (non working, mind). It's apparently the narrowest street in Canada, only 35" at the end I've blipped. The middle bit is about six feet wide, then back to 36 " at the other end. The ends were built skinny and gated to guard against police raids.

It's lined with mostly funky shops and restaurants. It's quite pretty a Christmas with all the fairy lights.
