I want to say they’re still filming Servant, but I could be wrong. Big security presence the other day.

They had Spruce from 20th down to 23rd or 24th blocked off Monday and they were shooting on Spruce 21st to 22nd again. So yeah. The additional no parking areas are for catering, equipment trucks and trailers.

Yeah, the show is set in a house on Spruce at Van Pelt. Shyamalan gives it an eerie, other-worldly quality by having Spruce run eastbound. It gives you goosebumps!

Yeah I live near there. Frequent filming.

Hadn't headed out to work yet when I posted. They definitely have the crew out. They usually don't shut down as much as they have this week so they may be shooting something more than exteriors.

If anyone wants to stalk Ron Weasley. I see him by Rittenhouse Square regularly. I think they have the cast staying at The Rittenhouse.

It's pretty not cool in some ways. They've continually told people that instead of parking on certain streets, they can park in the bike lanes on Spruce/Pine. They've taken over a park (Fitler Square), put up some tents for a scene, and then put up signs assuring residents that it's just for filming, their neighborhood is not actually being sullied by the homeless. And the other day I saw one of the security people tell a few pedestrians that they couldn't walk down a certain street, even though there didn't seem to be anything going on there. If I lived closer to it I'd be blowing up the CP's office phone. Who agreed to this mess? I understand that there is some kind fo film office to facilitate things like this but it's gone on way too long and not worth it unless they've given the city millions and millions of dollars.

And that's when you tell them to fuck off and just keep walking. Not like they're allowed to do shit. I walked through all the sets that were constantly being shot in that area for like 5 years.

I walked up 21st and 22nd while they were filming on and off and they told me a bunch of times not to walk through there while they had enormous piles of trash sitting on the sidewalk like clowns.

I'm not even a hardass, they didn't care and neither did I.

I live on Spruce and 23rd, they were filming directly in front of my building. When I had to get home with groceries they let me walk right through.
