How was the finale of "The Wire?"
In "The Wire's" Baltimore, nobody escapes the consequences of rebelling. It's only a matter of time before the gods get around to killing the peskiest flies. The HBO drama, which ended its run after five seasons Sunday night, was not a ratings winner but it was a critical favorite.
The fact that brave choices are usually punished within the world of "The Wire" fits with creator David Simon's worldview, which holds that individuals are capable of change, but institutions are not.
So, what does "The Wire" and its bleak point-of-view say about America? What was your favorite part of the show? And did the finale live up to your expectations?

The Wire
Submitted on March 10th, 2008 by AnonymousI am sad to see it go.I grew up in Baltimore and just watching all the places I've been,because the show was taped in Baltimore,brings up great memories.
For instance the junkman with the wagon pulled by a horse.That was a common sight in Baltimore growing up.Only it used to be produce.The men would walk around the neighborhoods with wagons full of fresh fruits and vegatables and sell them.I can still hear them yelling,Watermelons!,Tomatoes!,Fresh Corn!On the back of the wagon would be a pony.We could get pony rides for a quarter.
Baltimore with all it's bad was and still is a rich cultural enviroment.We grew up with blacks and whites living together with no problems.Everyone watched out for everyone else. Everyone helped when ever they could someone in need.
Baltimore isn't all bleak and dark.There are so many positive things about Baltimore.
One thing that never gets mentioned is Fort McHenry atop a high hill overlooking the Baltimore Harbor.That is where Francis Scott Key wrote the poem that eventually became our National Anthem.
The people in Baltimore are different.They are more friendlier and they love their bluecrabs steaming hot with lots of Old Bay seasoning.Many a days neighbors sit around and eat crabs,have a few beers talk and laugh.It's a tradition.Baltimore is not all bad. It has it's problems like any other inner city.This city has alot of character and characters.
