− | '''THE NARROWS.''' Most of this economically impoverished neighborhood in Forrest City was built long before the invention of the automobile.

Much of the architecture of the Narrows is a throwback to the early days of the industrial revolution: grimy buildings, dark alleys, and crowded spaces. Notable places in the Narrows include the Crown Pub, Sinner's Alley, Five Points, and Trinity Church. | + | '''[[The Narrows|THE NARROWS]].'''

− | '''THE FRENCH QUARTER.''' Forrest City's French Quarter is a smaller version of its namesake neighborhood in New Orleans. In the late 1600's, a settlement of French trappers and traders was located in the area that would later become Forrest City. Many of the descendants of the original French settlers stayed in the area as the settlement became a small town. When ownership of the region was granted by treaty to England, over half of the French residents remaine, and Forrest City grew up around them. Over time, the original French town became a neighborhood within Forrest City. Notable places in the French Quarter include Antoine's, Olivia House, Jacmel Inn, Court of the Three Sisters, and Royal Square. | + | '''[[The French Quarter|THE FRENCH QUARTER]].'''

Notable businesses in Chinatown include the [[Haidilao Hot Pot]] and the [[Hutong Jade Restaurant]]. |
