rushlady23 Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 That's funny! No wonder they don't come here very often! I don't think it's anything to be ashamed of...the show just wasn't promoted properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take East Baltimore, one of the most dangerous areas of any city in the US. Featured in two Cop Draumas (Homicide and The Wire). Yet in the center of it lies one of the best academic medical centers in the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
