    most of the way through rewatching the Wire.. forgot how fucking good it was..

    so dated tho.. burner phones and pagers..

    if it was remade today it would be all Wickr and Telegram accounts with the cops having no idea.

    • He made another series called The Corner that was a kind of precursor to The Wire. Pretty dark and bleak but worth a look.mort_
    • My hometown. Greatest City in America.

    • I experienced my first murder when I was 9 on the parking lot behind my apartment. We heard a gunshot around 8pm, a while after a scream: You killed my brotherpalimpsest
    • Ten minutes later sirens. Thirty minutes later a Dr. Seuss story before going to bed.
      Good times!      palimpsest
    • Every time I meet someone that mentions Bmore I have to tell them that they shouldn't visit. You have to live there to love it.palimpsest
    • @palimpsest Are you familiar with Baltimore based photographer Patrick Joust? Love his work.

      Yes, love Joust's nightshots. Haven't been to Bmore in about 5 years but you should head down if you ever have a chance.      palimpsest
    • Watched it for the first time over holidays. Awesome show. So dated yes, but so many good characters.Longcopylover
    • The way the story arcs were constructed is what makes it so special for me. Each series from a different perspective but with the same characters.mort_
    • @palimpsest Would love to visit with a camera but I'm based in Ireland so won't be any time soon.mort_
    • The world building and the depth of the character stories is amazing in The Wire. I always remember this scene with very minor characters...palimpsest
    • ... saying a line that sums up the whole episode towards the end. It's in one of the first two seasons. It's a mother and child looking out the window.palimpsest
