During the events of the [["Shakedown Road" (story arc)|Shakedown Road]] story arc, [[Josuke Higashikata (JoJolion)|Josuke]] and [[Joshu Higashikata]] are heavily extorted there while trying to reach Hasekura High School. This area is also where Joshu initially awakens his [[Nut King Call|Stand]].

As its name suggests, people passing through Shakedown Road are financially extorted by its residents who have all managed to discover the phenomenon caused by Les Feuilles, however none of the residents possess a Stand themselves and are thus unaware of the actual nature of the phenomenon.<ref name="Ch19">{{Ch|JJL Chapter 19}}</ref> It is only during the events of the [["Shakedown Road" (Story Arc)|Shakedown Road]] story arc that Josuke manages to spot Les Feuilles underneath the leaves after he and [[Joshu Higashikata]] are assailed by many of Shakedown Road's residents and they both independently identify that the strange phenomenon exists for themselves, even before Joshu develops his own Stand [[Nut King Call]] during the events of the arc. Residents otherwise keep the truth of Shakedown Road a secret, with the open knowledge that anyone unaware is free game to be extorted by those who do know, with even local police aware of the nature of the secret in some form.<ref name="Ch19" /><ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 20}}</ref>
