Steel Town Filming Downtown Pittsburgh?
Boring Pittsburgh received an image of a letter that was distributed to residents of 3 Allegheny Center today informing them that a production company will be filming nearby on Monday (7/18/2011). We’re going to venture a guess and say this is probably Steel Town, since the Batman group will be doing most of their filming throughout August.
What the letter says:
Attention Tenants of Three Allegheny Center
Today, Allegheny Center was made aware of a production company who will be filming a movie on location around the area of the New Hazlett Theater and Allegheny Square East on Monday, July 18, 2011, between the hours of 6:00am and 12:00 midnight.
During this time, you will need to exit Allegheny Square East from the current exit point (the street will be two way traffic for the day). We are told that police officers will be posted in this area for traffic control.
There were set trucks parked on Liberty between 28th & 31st St today.
