Making Movies and Sets in Brunswick.


The Restaurant BASIL is being covered by an iron awning....You may or may not remember I told of Waz and I meeting a Movie location scout on the main street, one morning when we were out walking? Well, I guess this is now movie town. Newcastle Street is a Movie set in the making. How exciting, and how good for the old town. It is a Ben Affleck Movie set in the 1920's Florida....never mind that this is Georgia!

When we left town 6 weeks ago, this was a vacant lot, which now sports two buildings.!
 It all looks very authentic.


Fake facades of course make for good movie sets

The local rag....
 We poked our noses in where we weren't supposed to, of course...this is the sign and paint shop for the movie set

Sign designs that will no doubt we on the street soon.


We were told by one of the security guards that it will all be over in three months, and the town will be back to 'normal'..what a pity. It makes such a wonderful difference having buildings where the vacant lot was, and how nice some of the old buildings look with new iron work. I will take some more photos this week as things get finished.

We are seeking to keep some of our fitness, which was established in france We love walking anyway, and enjoyed a long walk this fine Sunday. We will do this every day from now on.

We washed the boat down on Saturday and did some more cleaning  on Sunday. The boat was filthy! Lots of mold...green stuff, and lots of black dust all over her. She really was very dirty, and I wasn't feeling the best suddenly. I had a migraine on Saturday, and again on Sunday. Perhaps I wasn't hydrated enough? It turned out I was brewing for an Airline induced LURGY! Yes, the three to four day incubation period was about correct, and I was running at the nose and feeling achy all over. Oh well, these things happen. To date, Waz has not succumbed, thank goodness.


Ok, I am back to taking lovely sunset photos. We took our coffee up to the top of Dock 15 where we could sit and watch the sun go down...spraying ourselves liberally fist, due to the No-see-ums that come out at dusk.
 

 
 
We sat and drank, and then the train came through. You can see how close the tracks are to the boats in the marina. We all know the train drivers, and we all wave to each other:) Friendly bunch!


Another day done and dusted...jet lag leaving on a train, me thinx
