Rafe Colburn loves the Wire, but what gets us is this bit from the end of the post:

The last point I’d make about the show is that it is truly a love letter to the city of Baltimore as it really exists in the eyes of the writers. You can’t watch the show and not fall in love with Baltimore, ugly as it is. It makes me wish someone would write a really good show about Houston, my favorite deeply flawed city.

What, you mean Houston Knights wasn’t enough? (heh)
