The Slums! The hatcheries of generations of petty criminals and future gang lords, no city of the era was without them. Rows of crumbling tenements and abandoned properties, with litter strewn alleys, and cold stoops in front of overcrowded rooms where domestic violence and poverty bred rage and envy.
For many Slum dwellers, the easiest way out was through the school of petty crime. Most would never graduate to anything more, but the truly talented would become the Capone's, Lepke's, and Lansky's to rule cities and syndicates, with police and politicians on their payrolls.
There are four Block Sections which may be bought separately, or as a collection, with Tenements one, two, and three all seedy, derelict, and depressing, with not much aid from a Block of Light Industries, some abandoned, and a Greasy Spoon diner with a suspiciously radical message…
The four Block Sections may be bought singly for only $10.00 USD each as PDF's of an easily assembled cardstock model, delivered free by email. The Slums Collection of all four Blocks, with all the proper streets, alleys, and sidewalks included is a deal at $35.00 USD.

This is the neighborhood where beat cops might never walk, and detectives visit only in search of witnesses and suspects of the most recent outrage. But here, the P.I.'s can meet contacts and hear the latest about who pulled off the heist, kidnapping, or killing that the police have given up on. If there is going to be crime to confront or mysteries to be solved, the heart of darkness will be in… The Slums!
