cvc reports on the Prospect Heights Message Board:”Halle Berry movie to be filmed on Bergen Street, at least according to the ‘No Parking’ tell-tale pink movie flyer. The movie is called ‘Perfect Stranger.’ Cars have to be moved on Monday night at 9.”

metulj asks: “Is it a ‘Move your car or it will get moved to the nearest safe, legal spot’ deal?”

“… I got $200 out of a movie production crew in Knoxville, TN (Box of Moonlight) once because they wanted me to move my car from in front of my house. They said they had permission to tow all cars yada yada. I told them that if I saw a tow truck backing up to my car I would start punching tickets.”

“I was asked how much it would take to get me to move the car on my own. I figured 2 C-notes would cover it. Got to eat lunch with John Turturro too.”

“Now there’s a strategy to meet Halle Berry (unless you are a hater). Box of Moonlight is an excellent flick, IMHO.”

Marie Carter in the Brooklyn Rail: "On a Wednesday night at the Lava studio in Prospect Heights (524 Bergen Street, 718-399-3161), three
students work on various techniques, including what’s known in the
trapeze world as the bird’s nest, the plonge, and the gazelle, while
others wait their turn, keeping warm doing handstands against the wall,
crunches, splits, or handwalking on the mat."

"The 1,200-foot studio is
on the ground floor and has a sprung wood floor, rigging pipes for the
trapeze, and 12-foot ceilings. One side of the wall is exposed brick … Johnson has lived in the upstairs apartment of the Prospect Heights
building for twelve years, since it was a raw warehouse space, and had
always envisioned a studio on the first floor … Recently
she had the opportunity to buy and renovate the building."

"Trapeze class is taught by Gagnee and Greiner
… Their acrobatic classes are divided into beginners and advanced … In addition to classes in tumbling and Iyengar yoga, there is a pay-what-you-can open workout for adults, kids, and teens separately and a family class …"
