Movie set
Many films have been shot in Richmond over the years. Scenes for two of them were shot practically on my doorstep during my years there. This storefront was transformed for the film 'Love Field,' starring Michelle Pfeiffer and set in Dallas, 1963.
The scene -- which was left on the cutting room floor -- required about two or three dozen vintage cars circling the block while Pfeiffer said a few lines inside a parked car. There was a huge crowd of locals watching from behind barricades. I had the audacity to attempt a photo and got hauled away by a cop built like Arnold Swarzenegger. I took this photo much later, after the filming was done. I wish I had taken more. The entire area had been carefully remade.
By the way, does anyone know if Texas Instruments really had such humble beginnings?
