From Our Blog The Reverse Engineers of Poverty BALTIMORE 15 YEARS AGOWeaving our way through the chaotic streets of East Baltimore scrupulously plotting which corners to avoid at all costs after dark we were unintentional coconspirators in the life and death struggles of people we would never meet. Every choice we made dripped with sad unintended consequences. Buoyed by simple aspirations of an awakened America we were intent on creating a renaissance vanguard one block at a time. Home to 300 murders a year and an unflinching poverty rate of 30 percent we elected to see Baltimore as a city of endless possibilities.
