Norton Street was about a seven or eight-minute motorcycle ride from Green Street, and that area was also the liveliest "Bathhouse Row" in the southern part of the city.
Old Lington City's outskirts had a large number of factories, which burned through inexhaustible amounts of coal with their massive steam boilers daily. As a result, the city's air quality was very poor, with the sky always filled with a huge amount of particulate matter and dust. Often, after walking on the streets for a few hours, people's bodies and hair would be coated with a thick layer of grime.
Therefore, the residents of Old Lington City had a very strong bathhouse culture. Regardless of their wealth, they would choose to soak in the baths daily, to cleanse their bodies of dirt.
