Baltimore.

How can I talk about this place without comparing it to The Wire?
podcast-host
One of the most iconic shows in the history of television.
podcast-host
It's the show that put this rust belt, mid-Atlantic city ravaged by poverty, drug abuse, and a funny accent on display for millions of people around the world.
podcast-host
The answer is, I can't.
podcast-host
So I'm not even gonna try.
podcast-host
Compare I must, and compare I will.

It's been nearly 20 years since the Wire.
podcast-host
Ended.
podcast-host
20 years since Marlowe killed Prop Joe and took the connect, and then somehow managed to walk free even after his whole crew was taken down by corrupt Baltimore PD.

In reality, the real life Marlo Stanfield served nearly 40 years in prison for a double homicide he swears he didn't commit.
podcast-host
This is just one of the many liberties taken by the creators of The Wire, David Simon and Ed Burns.
podcast-host
But hey,
podcast-host
It's television, and sometimes fiction is more entertaining.
podcast-host
Still, most of the storylines in the show were taken from real events and real people, like Marlowe.
podcast-host
So, how has Baltimore changed since 2007 when the show ended?
podcast-host
How has drug trafficking evolved?
podcast-host
And are things, dare I say, improving in the city?
podcast-host
I had to travel there to find out.
podcast-host
And as always, if you could do me a quick favor and like this video, leave a comment and subscribe to the channel, I would deeply, deeply appreciate it.
