Any guesses on where this photo of Spokane police Officer Paul Gorman and his K9, Maximus, was taken?

Spokane police sent it to media yesterday. I've never seen an alley like that in Spokane. The fallen Roman pillars are a nice touch. I've put a call into Officer Matt Rose, the photographer, inquiring.

Read about Maximus' first arrest here.

UPDATE: Police spokeswoman Officer Jennifer DeRuwe said it's "Glass Alley," near Second Avenue and Lincoln Street.

UPDATE #2: Officer and photographer Matt Rose says the location is actually Railroad Alley between Lincoln and Monroe, across the street from the Spaghetti Factory.
