Why is it called the Gunfight at the OK Corral when the fight didn’t take place in the actual corral?  Well, probably because the Gunfight at the Vacant Lot # 2, Block 17 doesn’t sound as snazzy!  The shootout took place in this lot, which was about 18 feet wide, and sat behind and to the side of the actual OK Corral.  If you look at a map of Tombstone, the lot is located by Fremont and Third Streets.  Some of the fighting ended up spilling over into Fremont Street.  It all happened next to C.S. Fly’s photo studio and boarding house.

Sorry I can’t help it, every single time I hear about C.S. Fly’s Shop, I think of fishing… then trout… or even… salmon.  Hmmm.
