I just got their website spit polished and am going over there this weekend to do a photo shoot and update everything! Maybe I'll run into Daniel Day Lewis, Sally Field, or even Steven Spielberg--all who are in town right now filming Lincoln! They have transformed the area around the antiques mall I used to run into a movie set--they have covered the roads and parking lots with mulch and moss, repainted buildings, and put up all sorts of sets--in the movie studio (New Millennium Studios) just down the highway from me they have build a big boat and port--it's all really neat!
Here are some photos I and co-workers took while they were filming in Richmond--hopefully I'll get some photos this week-end of the action in Petersburg!
Sorry for the poor quality today, many of these photos were taken with cell phones, and some were even taken through glass!
Daniel Day Lewis as Abraham Lincoln is somewhere in the middle of these photos. We had a great view of filming from one person's office.
You can really see where they covered the sidewalks with mulch and re-landscaped in a more traditional fashion, as well as the UNmanicured lawn! They did cut the grass for months in preparation to film these scenes!
Check back soon for photos from Sycamore Antiques &

It's really cool how the movie folks made modifications to modern features to make them more 19th Century friendly. Even better that you can see the process from your office window!
I've never been to Petersburg, and now I know I have to plan a trip there to see what wonders I can dig up.
Roads covered with moss and mulch huh? It all sounds incredibly interesting! I would love to be able to experience something like that....you are so lucky :o)
Thanks for stopping by my blog and saying,"Hi" so I could discover your blog!!! I will be sure to follow you back :o)
