"One of the worst streets on east side"

St. Clair Street is located in the Southeast Detroit area and is a perfect example of a poverty stricken ghetto area.
Many burned out, vacant homes adorn each block.
Very low quality of life, often poorly dressed landscaping with litter and trash dumps in vacant lots.
This street crosses Mack Avenue, a street widely known by the local residents for high volumns of drug trafficing, prostitutes and other crimes.
The only good thing I ever noticed about this street was the good access to the local bus lines on Mack & Warren Avenues, where one could travel into Downtown Detroit with ease and connect with the west side bus lines for the city.
I worked in the St. Clair Market on St. Clair & Mack Avenue, where I also had an apartment above this store.
The store was burned to the ground so I lost my job, my home & my possessions, so I moved back to west side of the city and worked for that store owner's brother's store on West Chicago and Abington near my parents' home.
