Woodlawn business owners relieved to have federal worker lunch rush

It was a long 43 days for some businesses, which rely on the lunch rush from federal workers, but Thursday seemed to be back to business as usual. "Today, I see a lot of happy folks, a lot of folks from the Social Security office that are happy to be back in the office," said Chaudhery Nadeem, owner of Legends Halal Grill. The response is a stark contrast from last week, when WBAL-TV 11 News visited a nearly empty restaurant during lunch hours.
