More than 50 people stood outside the Enoch Pratt Library’s Southeast Anchor branch on a recent spring morning in Baltimore. Parents with small children, teenagers, and senior citizens clustered outside the door and waited to hear their ticket numbers called.

They weren’t there for books—at least, not at that moment. They came to shop for groceries.

Connected to the library, the brightly painted market space is small but doesn’t feel cramped. Massive windows drench it in sunshine. In a previous life, it was a café. Now, shelves, tables, counters, and a refrigerator are spread out across the room, holding a mix of produce and shelf-stable goods.

      Right, because Democrats are basically immune to corruption. /s

          Look buddy, if you’re going to be purposely ambiguous and evasive, I think I’m just going to end the discussion here.

            I’m sorry you incorrectly believe conservatives are a political party

              No, I got your drift, you’re trying to say that conservative Democrats are also corrupt, which implies that you believe the progressive ones aren’t.

              I’m sorry, but that’s just childish and ignorant.
