I’m Ready for My Close-up, Mr. Shymalan
I live in a pretty nondescript area. True, I’m a mile from Valley Forge Park and our little town has just undergone an amazing transformation that’s got the streets packed and the stores moving in. But in general, it’s an old steel town that’s transformed into a pretty decent place to live.
Must be better than I thought – the road outside our house is closed this week. M. Knight Shymalan is filming part of his movie, The Happening, here. Right there at the G Lodge, the local diner. Right there at Larry’s Auto, the mechanic who fixes my car. According to Larry the mechanic, the film crew is there today decorating the outsides of the buildings. I’ll walk up later and investigate.
How cool is that? 🙂

It’s fun as long as the crew remains respectful to the people who live there; too often, they don’t. Good luck.
He’s from the area. He messes up, and his Mamma’s embarrassed. 😉
Ahh, pretty cool when out boondock environs get a nod from Hollywood, eh? Paul Sorvino has connections with my area, and rumor has it that a tiny part of an upcoming movie of his was filmed just one mile from my house. Of course the specifics were never divulged and traffic here is almost non-existent, so no streets had to be shut down. Keep us posted on your cameo appearance, will ya? ;o)
