Earlier this morning, David Simon tweeted that he was excited to be filming in Baltimore. “Alarm just went off. A** up and moving. Today is the first day of filming in Baltimore in more than 14 years. Good to be home.”
The MoCo native graduated from B-CC high school and is perhaps best known for creating one of the most popular HBO series of all-time, The Wire. The reason Simon is in Baltimore is for the filming of his new limited series on HBO, We Own This City, based on the book We Own This City: A True Story of Crime, Cops and Corruption by investigative journalist Justin Fenton.
