Just quickie shops where you can get the standard 7-11 kind of fare.
Baltimore has more murders than NYC. NYC has a population of about 8 million and has fewer murders than Baltimore, population 600,000 per capita.

Baltimore is also within the top ten cities of highest per capita of rats (rodents)
