I wouldn't say the spot is rough at all, its just blue paint coming off the concrete itself is fine, so if you like how it looks, you might wanna check it out. I'm pretty socially regular and don't do much besides skateboard and school work anymore. Taylor st. has a ton of good food places though.
If you're coming from the west, Rockford has a ton of cool spots. I would go there if its not too far out of the way.
