Lake City Ghetto 

Located in Seattle, WA.

Strictly speaking, Lake City Way between NE 95th and NE 125th streets.

Infants found in garbage cans. KFC's making meth. Ricks and prostitution. Probably, next to Aurora, the diciest and trashiest part of holier than thou Seattle.
That KFC over there used to be a meth lab. Seriously. The one in the Lake City Ghetto.

The Ghetto Strip 

A nine mile long strip from Tilton, Illinois to Georgetown, Illinois. Several video poker gaming parlors have opened up in an already financially depressed area. Along with a few massage parlors, video poker signs and LED lights everywhere give off a trashy vibe to make you feel like you're in the ghetto of Las Vegas.
