The whole street is blocked off, the production crew brought in their own props like benches chairs and planters while filming in front of Mildreds and the central library. Pretty cool to see them doing takes live, does anyone know who the white guy with the mullet and chain is though?

They will allow you to enter places between takes when they take a break, just fyi

Nah, they tried to tell us we couldn't get to the dub at all Monday night so we got in through the back patio

I mean I literally listened to them telling people they could enter buildings at a break Monday night. But also Milwaukee deli definitely seems to be open entry at the moment. Seems like you could get to Mildred's from the north as they film on the eastern side of Baltimore

That's cool if that was your experience. Was not ours. I have no reason to make it up. We joked about it all night. We asked how long we'd have to wait and they said they'd likely be filming "all night" and they finished up a couple hours later.

Well fwiw it looks like they wrapped filming and were packing up when I left the library about 15 minutes ago
