The Wire: “I got the shotgun, you got the briefcase” - Omar 2:48

A body has been frozen in the abandoned Roosevelt building in Detroit for at least a month. A homeless community had been living inside. Urban explorers had seen and photographed the body. Nothing was done about it, even after authorities were called. Not until a reporter got involved did anyone bother to investigate.
This sounds like something out of the final season of The Wire.

Gallery: Abandoned HBO Soundstage for The Wire (via Kottke). Any writer churning out another of those pieces on The Coming Death of The American Newspaper would be well served by referencing the images of what used to be the fictional Baltimore Sun newsroom.
