Downtown Albany Returns to the Big Screen

ALBANY, NY (09/28/2009)(readMedia)-- Downtown Albany is pleased to welcome Columbia Pictures to our community as they film stunt scenes for their upcoming comedy, "The Other Guys", starring Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg. While some streets are closed to vehicular traffic, downtown businesses are open! Pedestrians may have a short 5-15 minute wait, but can catch a glimpse of the action in the meantime and will be allowed to get to their destinations between scene shoots. The Downtown Albany Business Improvement District (BID) is your source for all the latest information so follow us on Twitter, friend us on Facebook, and bookmark downtownalbany.org for filming details, photos and more.
