desolation row 

The name of a Bob Dylan song. Indicative of a place where people who do not fit into society(free thinkers and artists) go to live. It does not necessarily have a negative connotation. Often visited by posers attempting to look cool by hanging out with the real free thinkers.
He is so literary. He must be straight off of desolation row.
