Camera crew at Harvard Sq T

Multiple camera crews were are in Harvard Square shooting for “The Town”. It is directed by and stars ben Affleck. I was told Ben was around, but I did not recognize him.1 I think it more likely that what I saw was second unit stuff.

The script is a screen adaptation of a novel by Chuck Hogan, “Prince of Thieves.”

1In addition to seeing him in the Littauer Center [North Yard edition] when he spoke in support of the Living Wage Campaign, I passed about a foot from him when he was shooting “Gone Baby Gone” in Uphams CornerA in 2006. I didn’t stop to talk, I had to catch the bus.

AThanks to bloggers and commentors at Universal Hub for straightening out the confusion of the New York Times. Cantaloni’s is not in South Boston. It is in Uphams Corner, Dorchester. As for the spelling of the bar’s name, there is no sign. It’s called whatever a particular long time resident tells you it is.
