Angel and alley's

[Robb Stark]

Has anyone else noticed that a number of high profile moments in Angel's life (or, uh, un-life) have happened in alley's? I think they even comment on it at one point, when Darla is begging to be sired again, and she talks about how Angel was "born" in an alley. These were the ones I came up with:
-Meets Buffy
-Is sired by Darla
-Connor is born
-Reverts back to Angelus (in "Surprise")

Can you guys think of any others? Do you think this was done intentionally or did it happen accidentally? Most of the big Bangel moments seem to happen in graveyards, but I was kinda surprised at how big of a role alley's played.

Oh, and I forgot, there's the big one at the end of the Angel series where they all meet in the alley for the final battle.

Angel whooped Riley's ass in an ally. Does that count? 😛

And the big one. Not Fade Away ends with Angel in an ally.

Wel, technically, their fight was never concluded because of the arrival if an Initiative patrol, which both men were trying to avoid. However, I have to agree, Riley vs Angel is pretty much like David vs Goliath, only David left his sling back at the tent. Riley had the stones to get the job done, but stones alone just can't get the job done when you're trying to handle a fighter of Angel's caliber.
