There are two rough places in my hometown of Crewe, England. And they are Derby Docks and (one half) of Alton Street. Unfortunately, my dad lives in Derby Docks and I live on the "alright" part of Alton Street.
Firstly, Derby Docks is a mish-mash of council flats for mostly down and outs. I've been visiting my dad there every weekend for 9 years, so I'm kinda used to it. But just last month someone was attacked by a machete on the nearest street next to it.
Alton Street is a strange case, pretty much exactly one half is fine. There is a large park on the other side of the street and the centre of town is only 10 minutes away. But there is another street that cuts it in two, and the other side is literally like something from Mad Max. I go there when I run and I once saw a small boy, probably about ten, riding a tricycle eating a very large chocolate bar in nothing but his underwear. He was very dirty.
So, do you live in scumsville or in a walled off suburb? I'd like to know.
