Notes: This ed. originally published: 2009. The crime-infested intersection of West Fayette and Monroe Streets is well-known - and cautiously avoided - by most of Baltimore. David Simon and Edward Burns tell the chilling story of this desolate crossroad. The notorious corner of West Fayette and Monroe Streets in Baltimore is a 24-hour open-air drug market that provides the economic fuel for a dying neighbourhood. Through the eyes of one broken family two drug-addicted adults and their smart, vulnerable 15-year-old son, DeAndre McCollough Simon and Burns examine the sinister realities of inner cities across the USA and unflinchingly assess why law enforcement policies, moral crusades and the welfare system have accomplished so little.
