There is no parking through June 1 and that banner that says "cooled by refrigeration" was only installed yesterday afternoon. It is pretty cool to see Lincoln Ave. looking like that.</p> http://chicagoist.com/2008/05/27/grod_signs_illi.php#comment-1371239 http://chicagoist.com/2008/05/27/grod_signs_illi.php#comment-1371239 Comments Tue, 27 May 2008 14:41:20 -0600 <p>I knew about the facades, but I was surprised to find that they laid streetcar tracks down Lincoln when I went by on Saturday night. That was neat.</p> http://chicagoist.com/2008/05/27/grod_signs_illi.php#comment-1371216 http://chicagoist.com/2008/05/27/grod_signs_illi.php#comment-1371216 Comments Tue, 27 May 2008 14:18:50 -0600 <p>Probably Nicholas - all the gawkers get in the way of filming. Everything outside of the filming in the suburbs we usually hear about after the fact.</p> http://chicagoist.com/2008/05/27/grod_signs_illi.php#comment-1371178 http://chicagoist.com/2008/05/27/grod_signs_illi.php#comment-1371178 Comments Tue, 27 May 2008 13:32:02 -0600 <p>How come when Johnny Depp is filming a couple of scenes in some suburb, it is reported on the local news as a big deal, but when an entire block of Lincoln Ave. is rebuilt with false facades to look like the 1930's, there is no mention. Nobody thought the transformation of Lincoln Ave. was newsworthy? Or, do they not report it so people will not know to show up and gawk. I think they likely shot all the scenes this past weekend. </p>
