Bekinstown

Bekinstown is a town on the "other side of the track". Some of the buildings are run down and in disrepair. Graffiti is present. A busy drug store sits at the corner of Railroad Ave. and 141st St. Three bars and a tatoo parlor are among the buildings. The town is named for the Bekins Factory. The subway goes elevated across Railroad Ave. The Bekinstown Fire Department is holding a Chicken Bar-B-Que. The Urban Loop to Union Station also passes through. Interior lighting is planned for some of the buildings.
