Which punctuation is correct in these cases (colon, semicolon, or period)?
Outside of the alley I found myself cornered by unpleasant sights: walls covered with cracks and peeling paint, storm drains clogged with moss, dumpsters overflowing with bags, cans, and rotten trash.
Inside an alley I found myself cornered by unpleasant sights: walls covered with cracks and peeling paint; storm drains clogged with moss; dumpsters overflowing with bags and cans.
Inside. A small alley. On the left I found myself cornered by unpleasant sights. Walls covered with cracks and peeling paint. Can a storm drain be clogged with moss, so it will not drain back from the storm drain. What, if any, rubbish cans, cans, and bags will fill a dumpster with trash? Can I dump it all?
If you know of any correct grammar, maybe there are only three of them?
EDIT (based on dockeryz’s answer):
I think second example is right, regardless of the context. Explanation: http://theoatmeal.com. Explanation: http://theoatmeal.com/. If semicolon
is the science of meme mining, why do people say it, no one should believe that the concept of meme mining is something of a premise.
The second one is more correct in my humble opinion, because it contains a list within a list. The only way you can go in such situations is using the semicolon. Is there a super-comma used in MATLAB?
What is the reason for the third sentence that the first sentence is wrong? Keenan said that the subsequent sentences are (full) sentences. They all lack verbs. The
same definition is taken by the letter F. All the languages are used without a verb.

I would advise against your final passage in formal writing, as none of the sentences after 1 are complete, but it could work in a narrative.
I know you can use a quartercolon passage to distinguish between your outer and inner lists (see the third bullet here ), but since you only have one inner list and it comes last, I’d suggest going with the first passage instead of
the second passage.
