As we posted earlier, Tom Cruise and the One Shot movie crew is still in Pittsburgh. They were spotted working in Oakland at the intersection of Centre Ave. and N. Craig St. We’re still not sure if they were filming indoors or outside. Check out the pics of Cruise’s trailer below. It looks better than half of the houses in Pittsburgh!

Tom Cruise filming One Shot movie in Oakland
Tom Cruise is still in Pittsburgh and today the One Shot crew is going to film a scene in Oakland. Yellow base camp signs were posted all around Oakland yesterday and the Haddad’s trucks started showing up today. There are “CREW” signs in the parking lot behind the old Giant Eagle. The traffic at the intersection of Centre Ave. and N. Craig St. is already unbearable, but now Hollywood is taking up both sides of the road with Haddad’s trucks.

Real snow on the Mellon Institute steps. No sign of Batman.
Mr. Nolan, you should’ve listened to us! You should’ve waited 5 months…
Noodles & Company in Oakland on Forbes Ave in the Castle Building
If you like carbs, then you’re in luck. Noodles & Company has your hookup for a bunch of different types of pasta dishes from Asian style pan fried noodles to classic American macaroni and cheese. They also serve soup, salad, and sandwiches all at a reasonable price ($6 – $10 depending on your appetite). Their claim to fame is that the food is made to order and served on real dishes, so it might be a step up from the Panera Bread across the street.

Elixir Filming in Schenley Park in Pittsburgh
One Shot “Elixir,” an ABC (Disney) musical production (codeword BOSS) with Chelsea Kane, Jane Seymour, and Sara Paxton is taking over Schenley Park near Phipps Conservatory (behind Carnegie Mellon) for a few days. The crew has set up base camp along Schenley Drive (map), and will be blocking Panther Hollow Bridge traffic throughout the day. It looks like a major production, but if you’re hoping to catch a glimpse of Tom Cruise, you should head to Downtown. Rumor has it that One Shot will be filming around Stanwix Street (map).

Michael Sally's Great Race Recap in Boring Pittsburgh
This 2011 City of Pittsburgh Great Race Recap is brought to you by #BurghVerified runner @MichaelSally. He ran the 10K race, which started at 9:30am in Frick Park at Beechwood Boulevard. The course is 6.2 miles and takes runners down Forbes Avenue, through CMU, across Oakland, into Downtown, and finally ending at Point State Park. It’s interesting to note that within that distance, there are three major parks and five universities. By the way, there was also a 5K race that started at Atwood and Fifth at 8am.
Keep in mind that the pics/video were taken with a cell phone… while running. Observe the timestamps to see how long it takes to get to one side of town to the other by foot. Follow @MichaelSally for a good time! Continue reading + Discuss
