The Maltese Falcon
1941
Burritt Street, San Francisco, California

A plaque on the wall of this narrow alley off Bush Street marks where Sam Spade's partner Miles Archer was gunned down, a murder in a film, memorialised on a real street as if it happened. Dashiell Hammett wrote his detective novels a few blocks away, and San Francisco has treated the fiction as local history ever since.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
