DEF

A district of cheap saloons, beaneries, flophouses, and employment agencies frequented largely by migrant workers, vagrants, and alcoholics.

OBS

The American term "skid row" is used to refer to the rundown area of a city where alcoholics and vagrants congregate. The first skid row was Skid Road(Yesler Way) in Seattle, where logs were skidded into the water for delivery to Henry Yesler's lumber mills. After the onset of the Great Depression, the area went into decline, and skid row became synonymous with being a bad neighborhood.
