The Alleys of Benicia

One of my favorite parts of Benicia is the alleys. Behind the beautiful vintage homes run miles of alleys, like little secrets, kept just for the locals. While some residents use the alleys for their garbage cans and parked cars, others lovingly tend these private areas. There are little shacks, detached garages, picket fences and even old barns. It's a more relaxing way to walk to downtown or the library. Like walking down a country lane with very little traffic.
