Well, today's the first day that the second unit of Spider Man 3 is filming in Cleveland. Yes, it's true. Of course, a number of high-profile films have been made either partially or totally in the Treed City, but Spider Man 3 is sure to be such a blockbuster, that an encounter with actual film crew would be pretty cool, indeed.

While I drove down E. 9th street today, I noticed that Euclid heading out of downtown was closed to traffic.  As I pulled to the stop light, I took a look, and, sure enough, a group of filmy-looking people were working out of the back of a white box truck. I'm not sure exactly what they were filming, but it appeared like shots of cars in motion.

Closer to lunch time, as I drove out of downtown, a decent-sized crowd of folks were hanging around the National City plaza on Ninth looking at the shoot. Did any body else catch any of the action?
