mid city is another area for sure. i was staying in highland park a few weeks ago but was going back and forth between the westside and saw this area when i had to get off the 10 due to traffic. the actual thought i had around mid city (or somewhere near) was detroit in 1960s or 70s...lots of fully intact but sort of deferred maintenance neighborhoods. lots of frame houses..endless commercial corridors, low slung. the presence of the 10 sort of felt malevolent in spots in a way you see in the midwest.
