May I add a couple comments: When you call areas "dicey" I hope the readers understand it means there are pimps, prostitutes, junkies and criminals carousing in those areas. The Atomic Lounge is known for violent drug related crime. Now, some folks may not fear this, but I wouldn't take my wife there. Dino's and White Cross Drugs are in an area known for junkies, prostitutes and hustlers. Sure, its interesting, but watch your back when in those parts of town. On a positive note, the Golden Steer Steakhouse is a classic. Tony Spilotro (Joe Pesci in Casino) leased a space in the stripmall next to the Steer during the 70's. It was kind of a Sopranos 'clubhouse'. Spilotro's crew was called the 'Hole in the wall gang' because they would rob businesses by smashing a hole in the wall. I agree, the Double Down is a cool place.
