Last Thursday there was a film shoot right in front of our house! I don’t know all of the details because I didn’t want to interrupt and I had to get unplugged, but as you can see from the photos, they were doing some sort of period piece and they chose our street as their historical backdrop. How cool is that! I mean, we love our neighborhood and living in an historic house, but assuming these guys really did their homework to find just the right location, for them to wind up directly in front of our house instead of any number of other streets in Poughkeepise is just incredible. Although our house is not in the shot as the camera was pointed down the street. I did manage to find out that this scene is set in New Haven, CT so somehow we pass for that. That’s our walkway and our pakisandras with the horse Mike put there to protect his cement work. I was outside for some of the takes and the story has something to do with a man who created a machine (the box in the photo) that made others call him a communist, or something like that. The guy leaning on the tree is the director. I have no idea when or where this will ever be shown but I’ll be on the lookout for it. Let me know if you see it!
