Wendell Pierce to Open a Grocery Store in New Orleans
Healthy Foods in non-rich neighborhoods:

“The store will offer a free shuttle to anyone who spends $50 or more, so they need not walk or take the bus with heavy bags. Each month, the store plans a cookout (which in New Orleans usually means a crayfish boil) to raise money for the community.”

I think this man see’s the future. Will it have a garden next to it?

A concept worth expanding and supporting, IMO. 

I really hope this pans out.

Please be viable. Please be viable.

First it’s Micheal K. Williams (“Omar”) making a video supporting gay marriage in Maryland, now “THE BUNK”! The Wire actors doing good for the community…

The Wire

  • McNulty: You know why I respect you so much, Bunk?
  • Bunk: Mm-mmm.
  • McNulty: It's not 'cause you're good police, 'cause, y'know, fuck that, right?
  • Bunk: Mm. Fuck that, yeah.
  • McNulty: It's not 'cause when I came to homicide, you taught me all kinds of cool shit about . . . well, whatever.
  • Bunk: Mm. Whatever.
  • McNulty: It's 'cause when it came time for you to fuck me . . . you were very gentle.
  • Bunk: You damn right.
  • McNulty: See, 'cause you could have hauled me out of the garage and just bent me over the hood of a radio car, and . . . no, you were, you were very gentle.
  • Bunk: I knew it was your first time. I wanted to make that shit special.
  • McNulty: It was, man. It fucking was.

“Why, if there is any truth to anything presented in The Wire over the last four seasons, does that truth go unaddressed by our political culture, by most of our mass media, and by our society in general? We’ve given our answer: We are a culture without the will to seriously examine our own problems. We eschew that which is complex, contradictory or confusing. As a culture, we seek simple solutions. We enjoy being provoked and titillated, but resist the rigorous, painstaking examination of issues that might, in the end, bring us to the point of recognizing our problems, which is the essential first step to solving any of them.” David Simon, on The Wire (via vruz)

The Showrunner Transcript: Parks and Recreation’s Michael Schur

Do you have a show you wish you had made?
Schur: Yeah, The Wire. That’s an easy one for me.

And why’s that?
Schur: I think it’s the greatest show of all-time. I can’t think of what would beat it. It has something that I am consciously trying to emulate, even though my show’s a comedy and that obviously is not a comedy. They had just hundreds of characters and you knew all of them, and when they came onscreen you recognized all of them and you knew what was going on in their brains and you knew what kind of people they were. And they juggled them so expertly and so brilliantly that that’s been kind of my dream for Parks and Rec, as crazy as it might sound. That’s part of the reason why the goal was to invent this whole town, because I wanted dozens and dozens and dozens of characters who could pop in and out and give you the sense that this is a real living place.
