Downtown Living
If you live or work in downtown LA, I’m sure you’re aware of how there is CONSTANT movie and commercial shooting here. You can see our own little corner in such movies as Transformers, Spiderman, Rush Hour 3, and tons of others. Our street corner is one of the few in LA that can double for New York, so it’s used in almost everything. Sometimes I’m completely disconcerted on my way to work by rows and rows of NY taxi cabs and hot dog vendors.
I thought you might like to see two pictures I’ve taken recently on my camera phone, of what I can only guess were commercial shoots.
We all know how much I love cereal:
And not too long ago there was a HUGE Slip’n Slide down Bunker Hill, on 4th Street! You can’t see too much from this photo, but it was about a block long, and there were a bunch of people at the top with inner-tubes, ready to take the plunge.

Once, I got off the Metro and as I walked the two blocks to the office I sort of half-noticed all these little changes. Steaming manhole covers, different lamp posts, etc. I guess they happened so gradually that I didn’t really take notice. Plus, it was early. Then I looked at a Newspaper dispenser and it was filled with copies of the Daily Bugle. Suddenly I was in Spider-Man’s New York!
It was kinda neat.
