Film crews will be set dressing John Street with various era-appropriate signs and store fronts.

August 26

John Street (between Walton Street and Augusta Street) will be closed at approximately 5:00 a.m. and will remain closed overnight.

August 27

Filming will take place on John Street, Lent Lane and Elias Street. John Street (between Walton Street and Augusta Street) will remain closed until approximately 7:00 p.m. to accommodate filming.

Evening/night filming will also take place between 4:00 p.m. and midnight at a private residence on Baldwin Street. Residents should expect intermittent traffic control on Baldwin Street, Church Street, and Charles Street near the filming location.
