West Baltimore (Set of "The Wire")

The T.V. show "The Wire" was filmed on location in the streets of Baltimore, mainly the western side. This helps convey the main theme of realism, by the area being inhabited by a large amount of drug activity and violence. This ties in together by being shot in an area of low socio-economic community. The area of West Baltimore is made up of quite run down old suburbs with many of the streets undertaking in drug related and other crime related activies.
