"That's the thing about this job. Its got nothing to do with life."

I'm a huge fan of David Simon.  Loved The Wire.  Read his book "Homicide: A Year On The Killing Streets."  And now I'm getting into the old Homicide TV show.  WGN airs it a 3am or something crazy on Sundays so thank you dvr. I'm a bit of a sucker for recognizing places in movies or tv shows.  I like that I've been to Fells Point enough to get exactly where the characters are and where they filmed certain scenes.  

Thinking about it, there is a reason so many films and tv shows have been filmed in Baltimore.  It has EVERYTHING you need for good drama.  The richest folks in Roland Park living a mile away from some of the poorest in Waverly.  The beauty of the water and the uniqueness of a block of rowhomes.

One of the lines David Simon writes about in Homicide is an old adage that "If you can't live in Baltimore you can't live anywhere."  And its true.  Every neighborhood is different.  We got something for everyone. :)
