"the wire" is over! (or is it?)

For the past five years, David Simon and his amazing crew have made my job—what's the word I am looking for—challenging. And while I am absolutely addicted (no pun intended) to The Wire, I am slightly elated that HBO won't be syndicating a show that depicts my city as an arm pit.

I recently downloaded the theme song from "The Wire" to listen to while I walk to work. It is a two mile trek from my house in South Baltimore to City Center in the heart of Downtown. Needless to say, I pass many of the sites that are frequently viewed on the wire—The Court House, Lexington Market, The Baltimore Sun, and numerous underpasses and alleys. Every day I see more Under Armour clad runners, popped collar Loyola Grads, and local yuppies walking their tea cup yorkies, than straight up gangsters.

However, for those of you who don't know what to do without your fix, (man I am on a roll) there is a rumor that "The Wire" will be made into a movie. More to come. . .
