TOWSON, MD — The recent crime around the intersection of Loch Raven Blvd and Joppa Rd is being called a huge step backward for an area trying to turn things around. Now, local leaders are calling on the business owners to step up. Baltimore County Councilman David Marks said they've been working hard to revitalize the area. "This is certainly one of the busiest intersections in Baltimore County, it's also one of the oldest," said Marks. There has been some progress, but Councilman Marks said recent crime in the area, including a double shooting and a barricade situation, have been a huge step backwards, and the temporary closure of the Bel-Loc Starbucks has dealt a blow.
