The 2100 block of Monument Street is anchored by the Baltimore\\u2019s Northeast Market, a honeycomb of vendors selling fish, meat, fried chicken, barbeque, bulgogi, deli sandwiches, and baked goods. \\xa0The commerce spills onto the surrounding sidewalks, where open-air peddlers hawk sunglasses and socks, CDs & DVDs, umbrellas and pepper spray. \\xa0Unemployed entrepreneurs polish headlights, sell loose cigarettes, and do whatever else they can to make ends meet. \\xa0It all happens in the shadow of the looming Johns Hopkins Medical Campus, an institution at pains to restore relations with the neighborhood in the wake of longstanding ill will.
