Scud row — driving Madison Street

The United Center is on Madison Street, near what was once Chicago’s famed Skid Row.

Stretches of Madison Street west of the United Center can best be described as “Scud Row” since they look like they were hit by missiles. In fact, some parts were burned out during the riots following the death of Martin Luther King.

The first part of a drive along Madison is above, and the second part is at YouTube.
