During the 90's and first part of the 2000 decade there was a lot of movie and film action in downtown Cloverdale, with its small town look of Anytown, USA. It was not uncommon for the police to do traffic control and have barricades set up so no one can drive down 176th Street during filming.
Last night I noticed a bunch of movie trucks in the back parking lot of the old Safeway in the Cloverdale Mall. Today when I walked down 176th Street there is a USA flag on the Dale Building and a crosspost sign saying "Welcome to Big Whisky, Wisconsin". Hawthorne Square was set up with canopies and tables set up with wares: honey, flowers, and vegetables. Dee's Brazilian Shoes sign is covered up with a sign depicting Cowgirl something. I couldn't see it all. the front of the shop has a bunch of cowboy boot cutouts leaning against it. The old Duckworth's building, which is now home to a continuing education centre has a bunch of clothes draped in the front window. There were several staff setting everything up, perhaps they were going to have a dress rehearsal. When I came along the back parking lot there were a couple of guys setting up a tent, perhaps for a commissary.
There doesn't appear to be any action there tonight, unless they're filming much later on. Or else the wind and stormy weather has cancelled the filming.
I'll take a walk down there tomorrow and see if anything's happening.
