Cyber center opens in West Baltimore

Residents of a poor West Baltimore neighborhood now have free Internet access at a new cyber center, the national prototype of what organizers said will bring hundreds of high-tech jobs to inner-city and rural areas.

By logging on to one of 47 computer stations, residents can telecommute to work from the Harvey Johnson Neighborhood CyberCentre that opened Tuesday at Union Baptist Church on the 1200 block of Druid Hill Avenue.
