Any fan of Stephen King can see that this is the start of a classic King tale.

Four young boys, 2 well dressed and 2 somewhat unkempt, and a hole in the ground are all the master needs to spin a tale.

Surely they just heard a low rumbling sound just after they saw an alien creature disappear down the hole.

Wasn't this the alley where Jim Kelly was last seen during a rare December tornado in New England?

There is another rumor that if one goes down the hole he goes back in time to a year before Abraham Lincoln's assassination.

in Pittsburgh. Funny thing is that although there's a Hill District alright, in Pittsburgh, EVERYwhere is the hill district!

I like the multi-arm clothes dryer -- energy efficient I'd say.

Looks like a meal on the table in the second floor window on the right. The two boys in clean denim overalls and white shirts look like twins. The other two, both in rumpled, soiled clothes, have their breakfast "to go" as it appears they have baguettes or rolls to nosh on. They must all be good jumpers to have managed to get past the missing steps without serious injuries. I'm guessing they have probably just seen a rat scamper by and slip down into that hole. A childhood friend of mine lived in a similar neighborhood in Connecticut and yes, even Ct. had such places.

[But it was the West Side that had rumbled clothes. -Dave]

Okay smarty pants, I corrected it.

The boys seem to be milling about waiting for their friend Vinny to come out of the hole in the ground; what is that, a foundation for an old outhouse, now a garbage heap?

The stairs seem to be missing a few treads.

From the looks of this, it was probably taken somewhere in Pittsburgh Hill district.
