[edit] In Films

In addition to what is listed in the article, I'd want to add that on February 25, 2005, walking along 86th street between 21st and Bay Parkway I mentioned some parked GM New Look (Fishbowl) Bus, along with some prepared moview cameras light projectors, etc. I guess they were prepared to take some night movie scenese, under the WEst End Line

  • What movie was it (answer on my discussion page, please)
