With a release date set for July 1, 2011, the third installment of the Michael Bay-directed "Transformers" series is currently scouting filming locations for the remainder of this year. One possible location could end up being Chicago's own Michigan Avenue. "They are looking at very identifiable places that say 'Chicago' in a hurry, and Michigan Avenue is one of those," said Rich Moskal, director of the Chicago Film Office, to the Chicago Sun-Times.

Hopefully the film's star, Shia LaBeouf, will be a bit more careful this time around if he visits any drugstores. LaBeouf was charged with misdemeanor criminal trespassing in November 2007 when he refused to leave the Walgreens at 757 N. Michigan after police said he appeared to be intoxicated. The charges were dropped when Walgreens declined to proceed with the case.
