neighborhood, draw only border
The first residents in Schnitzelburg were immigrants who arrived there from Germany, many of whom were carpenters, lending to the neighborhood's name, which translates into "carpenter town".
Schnitzelburg is famous for a street ball game called "Dainty", where a flat, bat-like stick is used to strike another stick on the ground, making it airborne, which is then hit like a baseball as far as possible. Every July the World Dainty Championship is held in the neighborhood.
Its boundaries are Clarks Lane to the south, Shelby Street to the west, CSX railroad tracks to the north, and Goss Avenue to the east.
