An ad hoc arrangement
If you are the sort of person who appreciates orderly arrangements, even in alleys, this would not be a good place to go. There’s not one single thing here that looks like someone planned it; instead it has the feel of having just sprouted up, like weeds after a soaking rain.
Two things to note:
1. That window on the left really IS wonky; that’s not an unresolved lens issue.
2. Check out the concrete blocks holding up the meters!

It’s for rent now, so if you (or someone you know) needs a bank, this might be a good place ago start. However, in the interest of full disclosure, I have to admit that I saw neither drive-up tellers nor an ATM…
