Boardwalk Empire on my street

One of the main reasons I chose to live in Park Slope is because it's so damn good looking. Well, I guess a scout for HBO's Boardwalk Empire, which comes out this fall, agrees. Last time I saw them filming across the street I thought it was some lame, low-budget show... but Alison and I were escorted through the "set" to our apartment last night and found out it's actually kind of a big deal. Like with Steve Buscemi. On 6th between President and Carroll (my block) one side of the street is taken up by St. Francis Xavier. BE is using the rectory, and last night I saw some guys running out of it toward their old timey cars. Neat.
