Law and Order

Law and Order TV Series filming in astoria, queens. The shooting was taking its place over night at the well known italian restaurant trattoria l'incontro. A few movie trucks only were taking parking spots between ditmars and 21 ave. at 31 street.

Presidential candidate pays parking tickets 17 years late

After 17 years, the 2008 presidential candidate Barak Obama pays his past due parking tickets to the city of Boston. Only after deciding to run for a president and before he announce his candidacy in an attempt to clean his past. That was smart, we wish all the candidates clean themselves and to know that nobody is above the law.

fire fighting permit and filming permit

A car with a fire fighting permit to park in the street and on the same time a paper posted not permiting parking to shoot a film. Both claiming the spot, who has the right for the spot? A government official not following the rule because he works for the government? (What an irony: An official driver with fire fighting permit to park in a firefighting no parking/standing spot!!!) OR a film maker who receive permits from the municipality(who pays lots of money)?

movie filming permits

This is a permit for shooting the series SOPRANOS in NY this weekend. One of many we notice in the city every other day. Cars are not allowed to park at the alternative side parking arround the shooting area. This permit was taken at one of my favorite areas in the city of NY ...SOHO between Prince st. and Broadway. Shooting movies takes sometimes days if not weeks causing congessions arround the areas where the movies been filmed. Knowing that these guys makes for us an entertaining shows. Tell us how much this affects:

1. The urban environment

2. Transportation: Car parking, Traffic, etc.

3. Business: Supply-Chain, Marketing, and sales.
