My thanks to the http://wordorigins.org discussion board for helping with the etymology of the term "Hogan's Alley", especially the 1931 NYT article reference linking it to Camp Perry, and for the proofreading and comments. scot 17:54, 30 Mar 2005 (UTC)

The URL for that NYT article doesn't seem to work any more, and sends me to what looks like a generic ad page for a Newspaper archive service. 88.110.9.90 (talk) 17:58, 15 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Real FBI History of Hogan's Alley

The FBI owned an older training facility named, "Hogan's Alley," that was shown in the Jimmy Stewart film in 1959, "The FBI Story." Today, a friend of mine mentioned that Wikipedia starts the article as stating that Hogan's Alley began in 1987, and completely does not mention the history of Hogan's Alley before before that date. According to the website, "www.diselpunks.org," "G-Men in Hogan's Alley," the original Hogan's Alley was opened by the FBI as a training facility for newer agents in the early '30's. This deletion of history is also talked about in the website, historicalgmen.squarespace.com, in their article: Faded Glory: Dusty Roads of an FBI ERA. Both of the mentioned websites show the picture of the older FBI facility, and the diselpunks website talks about the development of the forgotten facility built in the 1930's. The actual facility in the pictures of the above website is shown in that movie in 1959, "The FBI Story," and the actual facility name, "Hogan's Alley," is in the movie, and was being used in the 1959 time period. It was showing his friend's only son walking through Hogan's Alley in the movie, making a few mistakes. The other historical site should be in this Wikipedia article. As a matter of fact, since there was really an actual training facility for the FBI, named Hogan's Alley, before 1987, it makes the entire article incorrect.Easeltine (talk) 17:49, 1 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
