get the day started right

For those who will be helping with the Waltham alley cleanup on Saturday (4/25) - Pops is offering those volunteers a light breakfast.  Stop by before the cleanup and get some coffee and a light bite.     

So grab your coffee and then head to Union park for 9am, or if you hit the snooze button, you can  just meet everyone in the Union park/Waltham Alley.  Cleanup runs until noon.

Cleanup this weekend

Boston Shines cleanup is this weekend.   While Eight Streets does not have a neighborhood-wide cleanup, we do have two smaller efforts going on.

In conjunction with Union park, residents are cleaning up the alley between Waltham and Union park.   Anyone who wants to help out meet at Union Park at 9 (or in the alley afterwards)

Berkeley Garden will also be doing a "Berkeley Shines" cleanup - getting volunteers to do some of the 'heavier' cleanup before next week's Spring cleanup.   Anyone who wants to help the garden clean up, stop by the garden after 9am.     Both cleanups go until around noon.

If you and your neighbours want to do some cleanup on Saturday, you don't have to "register".  Get out and do some street sweeping and cleanup.   Some brooms and rakes may be available at the BCA from the city.   DPW will also collect bags form street corners until Noon - so as you sweep your front yards and sidewalks, get those bags out there for the city to clean up.  

Looks to be a great weekend, so let's get out and shine up our neighbourhood!

More details on filming this week

A detailed itinerary for the film crew this weekend

WEDNESDAY 4/15:
Loading in & dressing the interior set of 78 Waltham St.

THURSDAY 4/16:
Work trucks will begin to arrive approximately 5:00am on Shawmut Ave,
Tremont St, and Waltham St. The setup and decorating will continue inside of
78 Waltham St. Porta Johns will arrive approximately 6:00am and be placed
near the corner of Shawmut & Waltham St...placed near the Sahara Syrian
Restaurant (this seemed to be the best place as the city asked that we put
them as distanced from a residence as possible.) Our Camera truck, craft
services truck and remaining work trucks will arrive around noon when we
will begin to film inside 78 Waltham St. until approx 7:00pm.

Throughout Thursday afternoon we will be putting a snow dress inside Union
Park, as well placing lights that will be used for Friday evening's shoot.
Parking vouchers to the garage at 100 Clarendon will be passed out as
needed.

When we finish our work at 78 Waltham--approx 8:00pm--a few members of our
crew will walk over to Union Park and power the lights we have placed to
evaluate what changes might be need. This will take about 45 minutes. Our
trucks will remain in place overnight.

FRIDAY 4/17:
Crew will begin to arrive around 3:30pm...we will be filming at the stoop of
5 Union Park. Once complete, we will move out onto the street area. We will
be doing a 'walk & talk' originating near 35 Union Park moving across the
street toward 44 Union Park. During this time Union Park will be closed to
through traffic, there will be a wet down of the street, and the sodium
street lights on the corner of Shawmut Ave & Union Park will be bagged.
Our filming could go as late as 4:00am on Saturday morning, and we will
begin to vacate the streets.

MONDAY 5/11:
We plan to return to film one day inside 5 Union Park.....more details will
follow soon.

Many thanks for all of your help...let me know if there is anything else I
can do for you.

Dear Residents,

We will be filming scenes for the feature film THE COMPANY MEN, starring Ben Affleck & Tommy Lee Jones, in your neighborhood on April 16 & 17, 2009.

In order to facilitate our production, we’ll need to have work trucks on the street near both addresses beginning Monday 4/13 and continuing throughout the week. For the two filming days, our trucks will arrive around 6:00am on Thursday, stay parked overnight, and leave around 6:00am Saturday morning. Our parking plan for the week will be as follows:

4/13 – 4/17; 4 -7 spaces near 78 Waltham St from approx 7am – 7pm
4/16 – 4/17; 7 spaces near 5 Union Park
4/16 – 4/17; 21 spaces on Shawmut Ave between Upton St to Hanson St
4/16 – 4/17; Tremont St metered spaces between W Brookline St & Union Park

NO PARKING signs will be posted on these streets in accordance with the City of Boston. For residents whose parking is affected, we will be giving parking vouchers for the garage at 100 Clarendon. If you are interested, please see Mike on site, or ask one of our security personnel for someone in the Locations Department.

During the hours of filming there will be parking restrictions and traffic control on both sides of Union Park from approx #31/32 to Tremont; and #13/14 to Shawmut Ave on Friday, 4/17 from approximately 3:00pm – 5:00am. Union Park will also be closed to thru traffic on Friday night from approximately 6:30pm to 4:00am. We will have police detail officers on site to ensure public safety and maintain an even & orderly traffic flow.

We look forward to filming in your neighborhood and will do all we can to minimize our presence. If you have any further questions or special concerns please contact Greg at (617) 921-2792.

Thank you,
