Here are the pockets of wealth in Maryland:
Potomac (which everybody has heard of a billion times -- even people in third world countries have heard of Potomac)
Northern Baltimore County.
The northernmost part of Baltimore City (believe it or not -- but that area doesn't even feel like the city)
Just about anywhere near or on the water.
Howard County
As for The Wire. They call it fiction, but that shit is real. I spent two years living in Baltimore City and moved out after a personal incident that taught me that the police protect the wrong people.
