It's the end of an era. Pay tribute to the personalities, city and show that changed the way America views "The Game."

Lester is a widower with three children. Clarke Peters discussed Lester's background in his TV Guide interview:
TVGuide.com: We don't know much about Lester's personal life?. Is he still dating that girl, Shardene?
Peters: Ah, Shardene, yes. Well, you know, he put the glasses on her and she began to see the world in a different light.
TVGuide.com: So he saved her.
Peters: I guess so, I guess so. The brief that I had at the top of this series is that Lester is a widower, and that he was actually looking after three boys that he brought up. But we never got into that storyline, I would have loved to have explored that to see how a man like Lester functions in a family.

Lester was a windower before he met Shardene in 2003, which was season one. Their story dosen't pick back up until season five, but from 2003 - 2008 we can assume he and Shardene have been togther.

Who really knows what Marlo is going to do. One thing for sure, two things for certain, Marlo is not a businessman. He is no fool, but I doubt he can keep his nose clean long enough to make a complete break from the game.
Like Avon before him, he enjoys being a gangster and a soldier. The money for him is secondary. In fact, the only thing he appears to enjoy doing with his money is gambling. I can imagine him living in a nearly barren apartment, save for a couch, bed and large screen television. He probably sleeps in the livingroom on the sofa. The bedroom is stacked with cash, including the first dollars he ever made in the game.
All jokes aside, it's ironic he achieved what Stringer worked so hard for. Marlo had the opportunity to exit the game virtually unscathed, and he is not happy. His trip to the corner was an attempt to remember who he still was. One can't say for sure if he'll stay out of the game, but he definitely misses.
"I'm just a gangster I suppose, and I want my corners!" Avon

THE WIRE was, is and always will be here.

LOS ANGELES - The Los Angeles Times apologized for using documents that were apparently fabricated in a story implicating associates of Sean "Diddy" Combs in a 1994 assault on rapper Tupac Shakur.
ADVERTISEMENT
"The bottom line is that the documents we relied on should not have been used," Editor Russ Stanton said in a story posted Wednesday night on the newspaper's Web site. "We apologize both to our readers and to those referenced in the documents ... and in the story."
Pulitzer-prize winning reporter Chuck Philips, who wrote the story, and his supervisor, Deputy Managing Editor Marc Duvoisin, also apologized.

They waiting for you in Sursum Corda, up 5th and O, round LeDroit Park, 2nd and P SW, 14th st, (all up in Big G spot,) Edgewood, Brentwood, Saratoga, Trinidad, (holla at dem boys at 16th and Levis), stroll through Carver Terrace one fine evening, aint even touched SE yet, anywhere off Alabama Ave,(Congress Hts, Shipley Terrace especially) Chesapeake St, Barry Farms, and fo sho, youll have a dandy of a time wit that Valley Green mob
Yeah, a lot of it has cleaned up, and as I have stated, nowhere near the heyday of the late 80's early 90's, but now you got the PG hoods like Capitol Hts, Forestville, Oxon Hill, Suitland, Landover, Clinton, bearing the brunt of a lot of the foolishness that gentrification has pushed out of many a DC neighborhood
and for what you really want to know, ask about Jessup and Hagerstown, and see who be chumpin who, and this out the mouth of Baltimore natives

One instance occurred in Season 4 when Bubbles was looking for a way to get rid of the "Terminator" fiend who kept robbing him. The guy in the stable suggested sodium cyanide because it cooks up like heroin. No way to know that unless you've done it.
I can take it back to The Corner as well. The guy that ran the lawn service that Cutty worked for played a dealer on The Corner. A horse from an Arabber cart inadvertently took a piss on the guy's stash, so he hit the horse with a brick.

I haven't noticed the Arabber's and stables in past episodes and I am ashamed of myself. Can you tell me when they showed them?

If you've watched The Wire for a while, you'd have noticed the Arabers and the stables in several episodes. That is a little slice of Baltimore I am glad they showed once in a while.
