they're shooting scenes for a spinoff of the walking dead in brockton massachusetts. they're in area of the city which is well known for its particularly high concentration of drug addicts and homeless people, nighttime streetwalkers, and violent drug dealers, as well as being surrounded by multiple small but violent street gangs.
They've also pulled permits for a second location in the city
>>215088488Brockton is such a shit hole it stood in for Detroit during the 1968 riots in some John Boyega movie.
>want to film some scenes for a post-apoc show>go to a leftist shithole and use it as a set
>BrocktonDOOD
>>215088563way back when, I moved there and within a month there was a shootout. 2 cliques shot out the phone lines on the street before shooting at each other. then I was over in cary hill for a while and it was even worse than the north side. i've unfortunately been brockton adjacent most of my life and the people that live there say it isn't as bad as it used to be but it's actually been getting worse. a south african working an amazon route there told one of my friends in dispatch, "in my country we avoid the whole block if someone gets killed, but in that city they'll step over the bodies and yell at the cops for making them late"
wait how can that be I thought boston was white
>>215088563residents were actually proud that it picked because it looked like detroit lol
>>215088739That was Lowell.
>>215088712A long and proud tradition. Escape from New York was shot in East St. Louis and they didn't even have to dress the sets.
>>215088544>add a subway station to some random shitty street in greater Boston suburban graveyard>Yup, this looks like New York City, the most expensive and heavily populated city in the world
>>215090231it's got a fire escape and a poster saying new york next to it, it totally looks authentic
>>215088488Oh wow oh wow so cool so cool. Should I drive up there? How about no, lol.
>>215090344>go there to watch some b list actors in a spinoff>end up listening to a crackhead telling you how the cia stole their teeth in an attempt to kill reagan
I wonder how much it costs to shoot there.
