I did my own little tour of Baltimore stopping at some of the main spots filmed for The Wire, an HBO hit series.


Welcome to Baltimore

Our first stop is at Bodie's corner. This is where he peddled drugs and where he was gunned down. I didn't take a picture of the corner as viewed from across the street because it was a bit unsavory, so to speak. So you get the view from where the cops would be positioned instead.
(it's down the road where the road turns right, that's his corner)

This is where the Barksdale crew would get seafood take-out (lake trout scene). The people running the counter were not the friendliest of people but the food was okay.

Prop Joe was an Eastside Kingpin who was a smart businessman and set-up a co-op between drug dealers.

The Greek was a sneaky, little old guy who sold the product to everyone. One of the major distributors. Here was his little restaurant.
(Ironically it's about a 5 minute walk to the Major Crimes building)

Here are some more pictures: Major Crimes building, Marlo's hang-out, and a coupe others.

Good stuff! Can you find McNulty's puke corner?
 
Great pictures bro!

The Wire is one of my most favorite shows. To this day I can't look at a boarded-up building without thinking there's a body in quicklime inside, courtesy of Snoop and Chris.
 
I passed a bunch of rowhouses boarded up with the animal thing on the outside of them, too. Creeeepy! Hell, Hamsterdam is still standing albeit not looking all that well.
 
That is hella cool. We are rewatching the entire series right now ondemand. Best show on TV ever.
 
you went site seeing for a show based on drug dealer and were too scared to go to the corner....:rofl
