Hollywood South Invades The Block....

I think it's pretty well known by now that Louisiana is now nicknamed "Hollywood South" - it's now ranked 3rd as far as film production in the U.S. Over 95 films are scheduled to shoot in Louisiana this year! I just never thought they'd be on MY block in the Bywater!

A neighbor of ours never really fixed up his house after Katrina so it has this great weathered look that the movie chose to use as a home of one of the characters. I hear they pay tens of thousands to film in your house - PLEASE come use ours!!

Neighbors house - it's actually been in a couple of movies! (side note - he's the cousin of the family who once owned our house for over 100 years!)

It was very weird seeing these huge 18 wheeler trucks with film equipment trying to squeeze through these tiny old streets...

They would not let me take any pictures of them actually filming but let's just say SYLVESTER STALLONE is the lead!! Haahaaa... maybe a "Rambo" type movie filmed on the mean streets of da Bywata?!

- BOO
