"Skunk City is a Syracuse, New York neighborhood that for a number of years has been known by this name, and before 1886 was a rural part of the Town of Geddes. The neighborhood boundaries are Geddes St. on the east, Grand Ave. and Burnet Park on the north, and West Onondaga St. on the south. Harbor Brook Retention area is to the west. The neighborhood owes its name to the unusually high number of skunks that roam the area at night."

"Once a popular neighborhood for working class families due to its location and affordability, the area has lost much of its population over the past few decades, and many of the one- and two- family homes are vacant and in need of repair or demolition."
