Fairmont

This is a low income sort of neighborhood, and it shows from the sidewalks. Anyone walking through the streets of Fairmont would know they weren’t in Kansas anymore and certainly not anywhere near the mostly privileged streets of Manhattan. Despondent is a good word to describe the scene one sees from the streets on this neighborhood – there are plenty of empty lots and abandoned buildings, all of which are incredibly bad signs in a city that is constantly expanding (as the city has chosen not to do any expanding here). As in any working class neighborhood, there are cheap eateries to be had – though why anyone would wander up here just for a cheap bit is beyond me.
