The people are the most honest people. There’s no lying in the people. It’s just that, at one point or at some time, it was a forgotten city. They got John Waters. You had rich characters coming from Baltimore, Tupac [Shakur], you got one of the greatest performing arts schools there. It didn’t feel like it was being talked about. Nobody was giving it a look. Now, all of a sudden, it’s starting to get a look because The Wire was giving it so much attention that we felt the city was starting to care more.
