The year is 1957


So the next Indiana Jones movie (can you believe there's actually going to be another one?)is filming a scene or two in New Haven. It's all anybody has been talking about at work the past few weeks. Several people from the office actually went to the casting call and are determined to be extras. The craziness started the other day and downtown New Haven has been transformed into a town called "Bedford" and the year is 1957. Sameer met me after work on Thursday and we thought we'd go downtown for a last stroll through the green and dinner at Richter's (New Haven's oldest bar - one of our many favorite places here...).


We didn't realize that New Haven wouldn't be quite itself for our last night on the town. The streets were filled with 50's cars and all the store fronts were transformed. It was like walking through a museum - except for when we couldn't cross the street or walk a certain direction because they were filming...
