The only problem is that "standing at the corner" in this context would be taken as "standing at the corner of the street," which is already "outside," meaning "outdoors" as opposed to "indoors."

I guess it could mean that the girl at the corner is the "lookout." She's looking out for trouble.

Also, she could be inside the corner of the park, looking out of the park - assuming it's a park with a clear sort of boundary.
