something something

This is so vague. My mind is going, I can feel it. So, calling all mind readers! What's the phrase ending with street or alley or lane; when you hear it you think of writers? I think it may well have been an actual location for 'cheap writers', but I couldn't say if it's American or British.

(And I don't mean Fleet Street. The one I'm after has become more of an abstraction.)

Tin pan Alley? Thought it was more for musicians though

[DaSwede]

Noooo... that's not it. I think you're right, that's more to do with music.

[DaSwede]

poemboy, that's the one! Thanks!

Fleet Street (prior to most newsgroups moving out)

was known as "the street of ink"...

[DaSwede]

tictactoe, that's neat, hadn't heard that one.
