neighborhood. we've been here the last few days and this is definitely a very different feel here at west north avenue and pennsylvania avenue. the first thing that's different is now traffic can actually get through this street. this is the street that was closed just yesterday. the cvs that was burned down is right down there on the corner. there are now police who have moved from blocking the street and to standing along the street here guarding the businesses here. it's just a very different kind of feeling. folks trying to get back to their regular days here in this section of baltimore. but this is what it looked like outside of douglas high school today. it let out this was the first time being back in session since monday's riots. all of the students tell me that it was a very different kind of feeling leaving out of their school and then seeing right across the street at the mondawmin mall a large police presence. they had the national guard there, also armed baltimore

police there basically holding the line in front of that mall and making sure that no students tried to go into that mall. that mall is under repair after it was damaged during the riots on monday a lot of destruction inside that mall a lot of looting happened inside of that mall. so none of the students were allowed to go there and cross the street. and this is what they had to say about the feeling of seeing that across from where they go to school. >> you come out of your school and you seeing humvees and you're seeing soldiers with m-16s and cops with riot gear and you just don't know what's going to happen. >> reporter: coming up on news 4 at 5:00 we speak with students about what it was like on monday what it was like returning to school today, and what they want to see moving forward. some of the students from that high school were a part of what happened on monday part of some of this destruction, and then there are others who were not. we hear from them coming up an
