Berea, Baltimore

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Berea is a neighborhood in the Eastern district of Baltimore, Maryland. Its boundaries are the south side of Sinclair Lane, the east side of Milton Avenue, the west side of Edison Highway, and the north side of Biddle Street. The neighborhood lies East of Broadway East, North of Biddle Street, South of Four By Four, and West of Orangeville. Though the area was once considered middle-class, it has in the last century experienced economic depression, housing abandonment, crime, and racial rioting. It is largely comprised of lower income African American residents, was a filming location for the Baltimore based HBO drama The Wire, and is a neighborhood where Bloods gang members are concentrated.[1]
