I don't know, but Johnny Rivers welcomes his baby (reluctantly, at first) back to the poor side of town after she drops him for a worthless rich guy.

Hm. My information says the southside of Chicago is the baddest part of town, and cheatin' is bad, but but my information is from the 70s.

New York's not much better. The South Side's gut its hustlers, the Bowery's got its bums, and 42nd's got Big Jim Walker, a pool-shooting son of a gun.

I've heard if you go to Deep Elem in Dallas, you got to put your money in your sock.

It's referencing a red light or brothel district.

The song is about a woman having an affair with one specific man, not going to a brothel.

"She rushes to his arms, they fall together,
She whispers that it's only for a while.
She swears that soon she'll be coming back forever.
She goes away and leaves him with a smile."

Yes it is. So I'm not a frequenter of brothels or red light districts, but presumably, it's also an area to be filled with shady bars to meet flies, and like, bath houses and dirty movie theaters and such.

But I'd assume it's also a place one could meet their mistress or mister? (Unsure of word there lol) And not have to worry about bumping into your husband or friends from church no?

There's absolutely nothing in the song to indicate that. She could just as easily be meeting him at his house.
