tourists or day trippers that find their way there don’t stay long-it isn’t their kind of place, even though it is the kind that people like us enjoy-I think they are afraid of the clientele...

The place must have a name...

I've lived in San Francisco, traveled Hunters Point and Oakland at night.
If I survived all that, now at my age, it wouldn't worry me.

I must confess that in 1993 I turned off the main highway into Philadelphia, between New York City And D.C., planning to visit the historic places. 3 minutes into the area and a U-turn ended that fantasy!

I assume it is worse today, so I'll have to settle for documentaries.

It is just called The Creek Bar-because it is on one-if you drive by it during the day, you see what looks like an old wood building back in the trees, maybe used for storage- with a weed grown parking area in front-the paint is so worn that all you can read looks like it says reek Bar-looks like a place kids might visit on Halloween-there are a lot of funky little places like that off the beaten track here.

MrT5 did the same thing when he was TDY in the DC area-he was going to visit some places, maybe go to an antique store or two and buy some little souvenirs to bring home, etc-he ended making the turn too-he did find some stuff in a safer area after asking a fellow service member about a place to get stuff-that was around 1990...
