BALTIMORE, Md — Spring is in the air. See the latest forecast here from Maryland's Most Accurate weather team.

WMAR-2 News Ja Nai Wright shared the story of Lilly Ordonez. She's the owner of Owls Corner Cafe. It was located in Dundalk until the Key Bridge collapse. The collapse hit close to home; one of the men working on the bridge was the husband of one of her employees.

“We lost a lot of customers because their commute was very difficult for them. You know having to drive instead of 20 minutes having to drive an hour to get to this place to eat a quick lunch to go back to work it’s not doable," says Ordoñez.

Watch the full story here and support Owls Corner Cafe at their new location in Baltimore City.
