No more Wire

Sadly, the best show on television (tied with Battlestar Galactica, I think), is wrapping up after five seasons.

"For the past two years, a good chunk of "The Wire," the HBO show that critics have praised for the grittiness of its inner-city verite, has been filmed in an anonymous soundstage in the burbs -- a soundstage that reportedly will be turned into a massive Wegmans Food Market." (WP)

So now Wire fans will have to make pilgrimages to this new Wegmans--leave memorial wreathes and pour out bottles in the produce section, or something.
