"When I first came on the Portland PD," says Officer Loren Christensen, "skid row was a Wild West show nearly as insane as Saigon, where I had just spent a year. Its wine-soaked streets were teeming with drunks, dopers, jackrollers, pimps, crazies, fighters and killers, all crammed into a filthy 12-square-block area where violence was an hourly event and death loomed nearly every bloody night." In this book, Christensen offers a rare curbside glimpse into the gritty urban world of skid row. A colorful tribute to the cops who have worked skid row as well as the characters who have lived there.
