Life on Mars

When I saw that our street was being closed off for filming Life on Mars earlier this week, I did not think too much of it. That was until I awoke on Wednesday morning to find the building next door to Prospect Heights Church of Christ, at the end of our block, had been converted into the burnt-out shell of an Irish pub.

I’m more of a star misser than a star spotter. Anyone who can walk past Steve Buscemi in an empty park, as I did a few years ago, stands little chance on a crowded street. So it’s no surprise that as I tried to hurry Sofie past the set, she pulled me back to point out Harvey Keitel and Michael Imperioli.
