Location Information
|
Skid Row is a district of Springfield. Skid Row is also referred to with several informal names, such as Bumtown, Junkytown and Junkyville. It is also known literally as being on "the wrong side of the tracks", as railroad tracks separate it from the nicer part of town. Most of the area's inhabitants are derelicts, bums, and junkies. Skid Row is likely located close to Crackton, which is also a seedy part of Springfield.
