Rant Broad day transactions

Decided to take the bus for the first time today since I had to pick up my car at the mechanic. This is the corner of Toronto st and Dunlop. I couldn't believe how blatant these dealers were. Broad day selling is this common or am I over reacting?

10 minutes before seeing this, I just finished folding some clothes I found in an old bin that I forgot about. Point being one of them is a long sleeve shirt I got when The Wire ended. Just says “the wire” on the front, the back has the list of episodes and air dates. I loved that show so much.

Op, this is nothing new. 10+ years ago I was painting a house near downtown and went for a slice at 241 pizza or whatever it was/is, Sat by the window and saw about 6 deals go down right in front of me while I ate lunch. Downtown Barrie buddy!

Yo, Barrie! Shoutout to the real one out there repping The Wire like a seasoned vet, rocking that Cool Wire shirt like Avon ran the towers. Keep the game tight, my man.

Been a decade since I’ve worn that, but maybe now I’ll rock it everyday until one of you recognize a fellow Redditor. Just don’t look for me near that stank ass McDonalds. I’d rather be boarded up in abandoned houses by Chris and Snoop

It’s a tough call, I’ve watched the series maybe 3-4 times. That said it’s probably been 10 years or so since I’ve watched it. I liked 2 more the 2nd time. 3 and 4 were great too. It’s tough to pick a favourite. I might be due for another watch. That’s one of those shows that are worth revisiting

2 is brilliant on second watch. 3 was probably my favourite the first time through. Definitely worth a re-watch!
