The corner diner, Soul Source, is the hub of the 2100 block \\xa0of\\xa0Edmondson\\xa0Avenue. The manager, Joyce, has\\xa0been serving breakfast to the locals for 30 years. Her restaurant looks out onto a West Baltimore block scarred by gunshots and\\xa0stabbings. But the block is more than its scars. It\\u2019s a block where a Pentecostal pastor keeps her faith in the face of suffering, where a reformed drug dealer works as a kitchen appliance repairman, and where a political reporter from Kashmir has found sanctuary working behind the counter at a sandwich shop. It\\u2019s a block where a former Nigerian soccer star operates an auto repair shop. In his car lot, he lets a homeless man sleep in a van. Next door is an army veteran who issued air-strikes in Iraq and Afghanistan. And across the street is a tire repairman who\\u2019s trying to beat a 30-year heroin addiction.
