up one's alley
down one's alley

I was four feet behind him all the way down the alley.

Then the two turned quickly and walked back down the alley.

The cause of it was a few yards down the alley.

They picked their way down the alley to the front of the bar.

When they were a short way down the alley, Jimmy stopped.

There was something a little farther down the alley, too.

The liquor store was down the alley and to the left.

He jumped out the window and ran off down the alley.

He took a step back and wandered off down the alley.

Blue Face wanted police to trail him down the nearby alley!
