The Area
Afflicted somewhat by it's neighbor to the left, Riverside Row, and it's placement next to Old Town and Calmon Park, Renhold Row is just another place for the unwashed masses of lower class individuals to reside. Homes here are poorly built, churches look tarnished and stained, and buildings are often covered with graffiti designating turf for local gangs.
Strip Clubs and prostitution are legal in the area, and Renhold Row has plenty of it. On each corner in some spots in the area you can find a pusher or streetwalker trying to sell their goods to anyone who walks by. In general, people come to Renhold to get cheaper drugs and second rate weapons. The pawnshops even seem to carry lower quality goods than normal. Strip clubs and peep shows line the rows, their dingy pink and purple neon lights casting lecherous shadows over the streets they’re lined on.
Overall, Renhold Row is just another neighborhood that formed from the division between rich and poor, and tries to make due with the scraps of entertainment it can fund and find a market for. Sleezy or not, if it pays the rent, people will do it.
