For those who spend time in this North Baltimore neighborhood, the only sight on Monday more notable than the pair of armed guards standing outside a walk-up seafood restaurant, may have been the empty corner directly across the street.

"The neighbors have worked really hard to get several drug corners out of that area. This one on Greemount and Venable is still there," Councilwoman Ramos told WMAR-2 News in an interview. "I will say that corner...
