82nd Avenue

82nd avenue, also known as the Avenue of Roses, is a notorious street known for it's high number of drug pushers, street walkers, and gang crime. An ugly street with small squat buildings, it is located to a large number of low-income housing, adult stores, and poor neighborhoods. Along 82nd, Bloods, Crips, as well as Latino and Vietnamese gangs are known to be vying for drug territory and protection rackateering.
North on 82nd there is a sizeable vietnamese community that is poorly integrated into Portland. Their community is self-contained with many considering it to be a second chinatown (being miles away from Chinatown in downtown Portland.
One of the most prominently featured establishments on 82nd is the PCC campus, where many of the poor denizens come to acquire skills and take classes. It is one of the few places that isn't in disrepair which is in stark contrast to the sex shops and dirty restaurants surrounding it. This campus of PCC is known for offering a wide variety of night classes, making it a useful institution for Kindred.
Despite the poor and grungy feel of 82nd, there is not a lot of homeless along its street, save for those prostituting themselves. 82nd is heavily patrolled all hours of the night by police. 82nd is not currently a recognized territory for any Kindred of Portland.
