Hey Wire fans - where ya from?

[Replies: 81]
Curious to know how far and wide we are spread out.

1 - City
2 - State
3 - Nearest Big City (if from a small town)
4 - How did you become a fan?

I'll start things off.

Silver Spring
MD
20 mins from NW DC/ 40 mins from B-More
Ex-coworker told me about it beg. S4, hooked after one episode

I live in central NJ, closest big city is NYC. Been a fan from the first episode. "The Wire" is the only show where I watch each episode at least twice; there are so many little things in each episode that I can't get from watching just once. I will really be sorry to see the series end.

From Compton, California
Moved to Indianapolis this year

I watch at least the first 2 or 3 episodes of every HBO show.
The Wire is the greatest one. I liked OZ and CYE. Sopranos was just ok to me, but the wire is that fire. im copyrighting that.

I'm from NYC baby! but currently residing in MD. I think I started watching the Wire because of the previews for the first season/episode, and I haven't looked back ever since.

Sup new fam.

Dallas, Texas. pop.: 5 mill. (don't know if that's "big" or "small" to some of you since a lot of you are from big East and West cities.)

I luv The Wire. It reminds me of the public housing situation that I dealt with in the early 90's; grimy and gangsta. One thing is for sure though: the best criminal enterprise is an ORGANIZED one lol.

New York City.

Started watching during Season 2 - the port season. It took me about 2 episodes to realize it was the best damn show I'd ever seen. Joined Netflix to catch up on what I'd missed . . . . the rest is history!

Hi folks! I'm just gonna jump in here and say hi. I'm from PA and discovered The Wire from ads on HBO and decided to check it out and well, it doesn't take much for me to get hooked on intriguing programs. LOL

Looking forward to getting to know everyone and having a good time with you.
