What do you think about shows like "the wire" and most recently "we own this town"? I believe they were written by journalists. I moved to LA from the east coast and spent a lot of time in Baltimore.

That's a great one! I started with "boys on the bus"

The wire is David Simon and the other is Justin Fenton both produced by Ed burns for HBO. Really captures the reality of Baltimore for TV. I didn't know Connelly was originally a journalist, I have to read his books but my first exposure was the TV show.

The story telling point makes sense, my first real exposure, for better or worse, was hunter s. Thompson and "gonzo journalism" I'd also love to hear your thoughts along those lines.
