Hollywood Comes to San Jacinto

Since we've lived on our quiet street out here in the "Inner Farallones" (read: SW part of San Francisco, inside the fog belt) there have been commercials filmed at our scenic park down the street with its Art Deco Fountain and tall eucalyptus trees that offer straight shot viewing of the Pacific. But today when over eight trucks lined up at the end of our block I had to find out what was going on. It's Hollywood filming "Mission Street Rhapsody" with Benjamin Bratt. "I hope you're not trying to pass this off as the Mission," I joked, knowing how Hollywood gets so confused. "No, this is where his cross-town love interest lives." Great! Maybe that will bring come street cred and cool to our outwardly conservative looking hood. There are posts on Bratt's blog with a longer description of the movie. Maybe I'll get my beret out and wander down the street...
