The movie, which is based on the true story of James Donovan, an attorney who negotiated with the Russian government for the release of a captured spy pilot, Francis Gary Powers, is scheduled to continue shooting in our neighborhood today and tomorrow. Have you gone to seen the filming, or do you live around there? What do you think of it?

And, again, many thanks to our readers for sending in so many wonderful photos!
