30th St. North Lobby

[Mummer]

The North lobby, where there's that magnificent bas relief, has been transormed for, I'm guessing, a movie. (Or Cold Case or another Philly TV show shot.)

At the bas relief end are signage and a "mall store" for Sarcone's Bakery with Tony Luke's and Bucks County Coffee on the other side.

There are goofy "marble" columns with a huge ball at the top at either end and a news stand smack dab in the center. Nobody puts a huge ball at the top of a column except a middle school student today. And Amtrak isn't gonna let a news stand userp that space, since they rent it for functions.

I was gonna make a joke about somebody other than Tony Luke's, but some wouldn't find it funny.

And this evening, when I passed thru, there were a huge amount of contemporary electronic equipment on the Sarcone's side, looking staged for rock 'n roll. I'm guessing they're filming tonight or tomorrow.

Please don't tell anybody that I snitched. That's unacceptable in the 'hood.

It's "The Happening," the Night Shyamalan movie starring Mark Wahlberg. All the stands are props.
