Many residents avoided the infamous slums of Smoky Row and Death Valley, while others gave in to the allure of Lillian Todie Tull's famed house of ill repute on North Jackson Street. Two different father-and-son hoodlum partnerships, the McKinneys and the Bells, terrorized the area in the 1800s. And a brutal fistfight between a newspaper editor and the mayor sparked a scandal in 1877. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJoin author, journalist, and historian Paul J.
