Join the conversation with TJ Smith. In this episode, we dive into the significant milestone achieved by the Penn North area: a full year without a single homicide. While this is undoubtedly a moment to acknowledge, the conversation shifts toward the broader implications for the community and the ongoing challenges. Is this achievement a prelude to a metaphorical rebirth of the area, and what role does gentrification play in this narrative? TJ explores these questions by weighing the natural cycles of urban development against the community expectations and the systemic issues that continue to plague neighborhoods in Baltimore.
