The corner
a year in the life of an inner-city neighbourhood
Book • 1997
The book follows the lives of individuals, particularly the McCullough family, living on the corner of Fayette Street and Monroe Street in West Baltimore.
It examines the sinister realities of inner cities, the failures of law enforcement policies, moral crusades, and the welfare system, and highlights the poignant scenes of hope, caring, and love amidst the drug culture.
Simon and Burns spent over a year interviewing and following the people of the neighborhood, providing a detailed and non-judgmental portrayal of a community in deep decline.
