This picture might shed light as to what it used to look like. I don't know if this was in anyway connected to "the deuce", probably not, but it may have turned into it's own shady area after a while. The building on the right looks like the one where that "Sticklers" sandwhich shop is now, near city hall. I'm pretty sure this is 3rd St looking south at Washington. The buildings and hotel and streets look like they could have fallen into disrepair, and have now been replaced by all of those hideous municipal buildings and/or parking lots there are downtown now.
