There is, in fact, no such thing as the DMV, unless you are in television news. There is D+M, and there is Virginia. The river is a hard cultural and social boundary. You may cross it for work and family reasons, but you are always in alien territory when you do.

DOMINIK SZOBOSZLAI RAISES THE ROOF AT ANFIELD. SIMPLY MAGNIFICENT.

Happy 44th birthday to Felicia “Snoop” Pearson. Born: May 18, 1980 in Baltimore. Her path to appearing on #TheWire began when Michael K. Williams met her at Club One in Baltimore. ‘He called me the next day and said: “Come see me.” I got myself together and went to the set and was just kicking it with him. Then the people from The Wire like Ed Burns and David Simon heard me talking and they came over and started asking me to pronounce words. I didn’t know what it was for. I was kinda nervous. These white people keep asking me questions. I ain’t used to that. White people ask me questions when I’m in trouble. But it turned out for the good.’ -Felicia Pearson 2021 (The Guardian)
