We've steadily been making our way through all four seasons of The Wire, which is one of the best tv shows in the whole world and set right in our new hometown of Baltimore, Maryland. We especially loved season 2, which takes place mostly in our neighborhood. The other night we had to go back and watch the first episode of season two after our neighbor told us that one of her best friends was featured as one of the dead Russian prostitutes. She also said her dog was in a scene they filmed one street over.
On Friday I had a quintessential Baltimore moment I've been waiting for since we moved. I was on my way home and stopped to get gas at the BP on Key Highway at the bottom of my street and who should I see filming as they drove a blue Crown Vic? Dominic West, aka Jimmy McNulty.
I knew they were filming season 5 now, but we hadn't seen them around yet. I used to live in NYC and I saw celebrities on a very regular basis, but right now we are so emotionally invested in The Wire's characters, you have no idea. I could barely dial my cell phone to tell someone. So look for a silver Honda civic at a gas station. Coming soon to season 5.
