Corner stores and random businesses with cages on the doors and windows.
Also there are potholes everywhere and random fences tend to be driven into and not fixed.

Also random groups of guys gathered outside of random corner stores.
Oh and if there are fast food places with nowhere to sit thats also how you know.
