We figured we needed to head out of the business core to find a restaurant and started driving down some random arterial (this was long before cell phones and Google Maps). As we approached some railroad tracks I made a joke about the other side being "the wrong side of the tracks." Sure enough, the moment we crossed it was like a switch got flipped. The Newport cigarette factory was on our left, a brawl of maybe 5 or 6 dudes had broken out on the right. Boarded up buildings and a burnt out car on the next block. Literally every person on the street stared at us as we slowly drove by in our rental car looking for a safe place to turn around and get the Hell out of there.
