More than 50 people stood outside the Enoch Pratt Library’s Southeast Anchor branch on a recent spring morning in Baltimore. Parents with small children, teenagers, and senior citizens clustered outside the door and waited to hear their ticket numbers called.
They weren’t there for books—at least, not at that moment. They came to shop for groceries.
Connected to the library, the brightly painted market space is small but doesn’t feel cramped. Massive windows drench it in sunshine. In a previous life, it was a café. Now, shelves, tables, counters, and a refrigerator are spread out across the room, holding a mix of produce and shelf-stable goods.
horseshit article
shit like this is not happening in the United States period and if there is a shop in one place in the whole country does not mean shit is getting better
fuck off with these articles nothing is getting better and no one is in arms about anything just look out your window looks the same as twenty years ago
nobody is getting paid what they are worth, people are still homeless, jackboots are still kicking us after they have thrown us to the ground, no universal healthcare, and shit is just getting worse
voting Democrat or Republican over and over again is not working and the elections here are rigged anyways and the leaders are handpicked puppets with citizens not having any voice but are told we are in a democracy
Getting all pissy about a feel-good story is a weird take.
If you don’t like it, fine. But ranting about it is silly at best.
