There are no-go zone in every major metropolitan city in America.
—and my granddad knew this about Chicago when he went there from rural Wisconsin to his sister’s wedding at the turn of the last century—
I don't know about it being called a no-go zone, but 25 years ago when I lived in Schaumburg, IL, there was a tiny section 8 housing enclave where the fire department wouldn't go into it without police escort. In fact, even pizza company's wouldn't deliver in it. I could never understand why the cops didn't go into it and bust heads to get it cleaned up. Guess they were too busy with revenue-enhancement activities.
