Another day, another window broken

I am beginning to think that perhaps we shouldn't take too many walks in the community because lately we have been noting commercial establishments with broken windows along North Charles Street.  While returning from a walk we noted another broken window at 2526 North Charles Street, next to the Bank of America.  We called 911 and reported it to the Baltimore City Police Department and waited for the police to come, but apparently they were busy on some other important issue so we left.  We were called some time later by the BCPD who confirmed the damages and asked if it were our building.  We replied that it was not our building and the end is another commercial enterprise is going to have to pay a considerable amount of money to have the window repaired.  What brought our immediate attention to this broken window as the fact that two houses down a screen was laying on the ground which made us look up and see the broken window at the building listed above.  It appears that North Charles Street, St. Paul Street and the unit block of West 25th Street are being targeted since we started noting these conditions.  However, I guess we should be happy that, after hearing about the shootings on 2300 block of North Charles Street and at 300 East 26th Street, that a crime as small as the breakage of another window doesn't appear to be too bad.  However, these businesses along these areas are being targeted and it could result in commercial establishments moving out of Charles Village.
