Big City

Posted on July 16, 2009 by Staff

‘No, but that’s next.’

That’s how director/producer Donald Whittier of Banzai Entertainment answered when asked whether the film crew setting up next to Cliff’s Meat Market was working on a biopic about Cliff Collins.

If you’ve been around the corner of Main and Greensboro streets this week, you may have noticed a camera crew setting up shots and a fellow in a tie with an ID tag around his neck hanging out in various spots. He’s Charlotte actor Mark Scarboro, who plays Jackman, the title character in Whittier’s new film.

Becky Stafford, who is helping Whittier out on the production, said the crew plans to film in spots all over town. A scene at Johnny’s was filmed last weekend. Other locations will include Southern Rail and Open Eye Café, Stafford said.

Locally grown
The Downtown Partnership is hoping to test out its recently approved beer garden at the next Locally Grown concert, which is Thursday, July 23 at 7 p.m. at the James C. Wallace parking deck.

Just before its summer recess, the Chapel Hill Town Council approved of having a roped-off area where concert goers could enjoy a cold one at the monthly concert series.

This month’s show is being presented by Music Makers Relief Foundation and features Big Ron Hunter and Boo Hanks.

Memories
Delightful as it was to host the Bolshoi, we’re wondering how long the posters are going to stay in place. A lot of spots have moved on, window display-wise, but there are still a few celebratory placards around the downtown, including a couple of forlorn looking spots in the empty storefronts at the old Schoolkids and the long-abandoned southeast corner of Columbia and Franklin.
