Crump Boulevard

Crump Boulevard was originally a number of small ethnic communities settled around the end of the 19th century. Today, they have blended together into an overall community, although pockets of the original cultures can still be found, along with a number of newcomers to the area. It’s a boisterous, mostly lower middle-class, area.

Row houses and apartment buildings are common, along with garden-style apartments with common courtyards. Due to cheap housing in its infancy, the neighbourhood became home to Irish, Italian, Greek, and Jewish immigrants. African-Americans, Hispanics, and Asians followed in later years (if they haven't already moved to Little Osaka). Crump Boulevard features the best ethnic restaurants in the city, particularly delis and pizza places. Unfortunately, Crump Boulevard still sees a fair amount of crime, particularly from gangs, and organized crime retains a stronghold here despite the best efforts of the HMPD.
