The Pursuit of HappyNess

I like that movies get filmed in this city even if it can be a pain in the ass sometimes. Thankfully, I don’t like in a cliché view neighborhood. The closest filming I remember was when Brandon’s arty/punky girlfriend on 90210 moved to SF, she "lived" on top of Duboce by Buena Vista Park. But actually, I was living on Mission St. back then.

But I came home to a letter from the production department of "The Pursuit of HappyNess" which is "based on the life of San Francisco resident Christopher Gardner" ( I don’t know which one). Evidently, they are building a fake BART platform in Duboce Park and are filming a chase scene all day on 9/21.

My favorite part is the request that people put their cars in their garages so that the period setting is maintained. Because obviously people just park on the street for fun. I also like that they are hiring a security guard to guard the fake BART station for "the safety of the residents". I’ll let you know when I figure out how a movie prop is a threat to my safety.
