Before he created HBO’s The Wire, former journalist, author, and Baltimore native David Simon created the multiple Emmy Award winning miniseries The Corner based on the nonfiction book The Corner: A Year in the Life of an Inner-City Neighborhood, which he co-authored with Ed Burns.

Focusing on the activities at the junction of West Fayette Street and North Monroe Street in West Baltimore, The Corner paints a poignant, tender and unflinchingly honest portrayal of a family residing in poverty among the open-air drug markets of West Baltimore.  As he went on to do with The Wire, Simon presents Baltimore itself as a main character, and captures the effects of the crack-cocaine epidemic on the city as well as its people.
