Plywood covers storefront windows, under faded signs that mark what had been a coffee shop, a pharmacy, a dry cleaner. And Randallstown's gleaming new community center exists only on blueprints - three years after elected leaders gathered at the shopping center to say one would be built. "All these promises were made. Meanwhile, we've seen little evidence of anything," said Ella White Campbell, a community organizer who attended the May 2004 announcement.

The 2006 Baltimore County boys basketball championship banner rests proudly on the gym wall at Woodlawn High on the side where the teams sit, and its presence sliced through Darrell Bryant like a knife. Bryant, a senior front-line player at Randallstown, was front and center last year when Woodlawn knocked off the Rams for the title, not only handing the Rams their first loss of the season, but also beating them in their own gym. "After that loss, I was feeling really salty," Bryant said.
