Something to think of with Ziggy: He's a tragic character. He grows up seeing the union job how it used to be. Proud, blue collar work making good money. You could buy a house, have a whole career, a family, etc. But by the time he comes up to work and step into the shoes of his dad, uncles, grandfather, etc... the work's dried up. He's got nothin', he sees no way to make it work. People will react differently to that kind of circumstance. For Ziggy? It's just acting out.

He was also, obviously, unsupervised all of his life, because his dad was out at the docks all day working and at Dolores' all night with his union brothers. Why would he listen to anyone now when he's been neglected and ridiculed all of his life?

man how expensive are houses in Canada? $340k will get you a pretty decent home in certain parts of the US, even nowadays. I bought my house back in 2019 for $250k, 4 beds, 2.5 baths, finished basement, 2 car garage, decent sized yard, gated community, very nice area. Fuck is going on in Canada that homes are so expensive?

$340k will do fine in much of Canada, not so much in Toronto or Vancouver where they're at.

A "The Wire and reality" note: The strip club visited by Prez and Kima, "Night Shift", is an actual strip club in Baltimore, and it is located off of Holabird Ave, just where the show says it is. Not sure if they actually shot any of the show there.

Roughly 20 years ago, I "discovered" The Wire on episode 6 of season 2. I had just watched something else on HBO (probably The Sopranos or Deadwood) and had not changed channels when the cold open for The Wire came on. Honestly, it was Omar's scar that first grabbed my attention - I remember wondering if it was real, how it was acquired - then the guy with the scar talked about Greek and Roman myths, before taking the witness stand to testify that he stuck up drug dealers as a living. At that point I was thinking "well, that's different", when the opening titles started. I was raised in the cornfields of the midwest, and had moved to Baltimore when in my late twenties for 4 years, where I drove past the harbor during my commute. As a result, I was always intrigued by the ships in the port. When I saw the opening credits for The Wire season 2, I thought the entire show was about the Baltimore port, and how cool was that! I thought Tom Waits was saying to keep the devil way down in the hold... This was not an easy show to jump into the middle of, but after seeing mythology, testimony, Gatsby, a mannequin, Ziggy's memories, Bunk's nausea, the Greeks, the "talk" with Cheese, Prop Joe, Mrs. McNulty frolicking, politics, a scene at a real club that I had been to, and a prison murder, I was not sure who was who, or what they were all doing, but I was hooked after that one episode.
