this morning i was bicycling from (Bolton to) Acton to West Concord, headed to Nashoba Brook Bakery (where i am now), and part of Piper Road (the way i usually go) was closed, all blocked off with traffic cones. there was a cop waving cars in the direction of the detour; but he let me go through, saying "Keep to the left."
i didn't know if there had been a big accident, or if there was construction, or what might be going on. no cars were coming the other way on Piper, and after a little while i came to a big crowd gathered in the street. there was an older-looking New Hampshire police car at a jaunty angle in the driveway and a lot of people milling around the property, a few trucks parked here and there, and a cop in the road. i wondered what might have drawn New Hampshire police all the way to Acton/Concord Massachusetts?
even though there didn't seem to be any big emergency going down, i stayed to the left and slipped through the crowd, past the cop. when i got to the end of Piper, where it dumps out onto School St, there was another cop and i asked him what was going on. he said they were shooting a scene for the movie 'Labor Day' (with Kate Winslet).
cool!
i think that's the closest i've ever been to a movie shoot, and the only reason i was going through Acton at all was that i needed to stop at a bank there. lucky me! (and lucky that i was on bicycle; if i'd been in a car, they never would have let me through.)
