Below are Google map street views of various places that play a prominent part in the series. I have also included a few lessons dished about by the irrepressible D'Angelo.....enjoy.
THE PIT
The pit is where most of season 1 was based around. D'Angelo, Bodie, Poot and Wallace spend all day everyday selling and dealing drugs. It's also where D'Angleo teaches Bodie and Wallace how to play chess...
HAMSTERHAM
Hamsterham became a 'free zone' in series 3.
LITTLE JOHNNIE'S
Little Johnnie's was were Nick met Vonda and the Greek, they loved to drink little cups of coffee and talk about cans. However, Ziggy never brought his Duck here.
CITY HALL
Baltimore City Hall and War Memorial features in the background of many shots throughout the series. Stinger Bell and Prop Jo also met in the rain here.
ORLANDO'S
Orlando's was a front business were most of Barkdale's crew hung out, it also held all the money. Stringer Bell's copy shop is just a bit further down the road.
MAJOR CRIMES UNIT
The Major Crimes unit was were Daniels, McNulty, Kima, Leicester, Herc, Pryzbylewski and a few other police listen to wire taps and sit around looking smug when they pick something up. It's also where Prez punches his father in law in the face.
POLICE HEADQUARTERS
The police headquarters is used in a few shots throughout the series. The building is a great example of Bauhaus architecture designed by Miles van der Rohe.
PROPOSITION JO'S REPAIR SHOP
Prop Jo's repair shop was a front for all his drug dealings. It was also the first video shop in Baltimore.
Finally; a favourite clip of mine, D'Angelo gives Wallace and Poot a lesson about why the inventor of chicken mcnuggets would never have made it rich...
That was a mission!
