    Overview

    In the Early days of , the area known as Kings Row was a shiny, bustling place filled with hope and promise. Factories manufacturing goods and generating power created a feeling of strong, blue-collar values.

Kings Row is an industrial and civic area that has seen better days, a mixture of housing developments, light industrial, industrial and office buildings.

    In recent years Kings Row has seen some new development, and shows signs of pulling out of its decades-long slump. However, progress is held back by the Skulls, the gang that makes this area its primary turf.
