[AGL] questions about Nadine the movie

[Michael Eisenstadt]

we watched Nadine the movie
last nite. and we gotta question.

the plotline of the flic involves
secret DOT plans for a new 
highway which are stolen so
as to get a jump on buying 
real estate next to the planned
highway.

the 1987 movie writen and directed by
Robert Benton was dedicated
to everyone's friend Nadine Eckhardt.

was the stolen DOT highway plans
in the movie based on the gossip
about Mayor Ron Mullen having 
done just that: buying cheap
real estate that would later front
on the highway?

on a related subject: this is the second
movie featuring one of my roommate's
former art studios on 6th street. There
is Blood Simple featuring the upstairs of
the old Craddock Furniture store, a glorious
studio which i remember well after we
cleared the old soda machines, popcorn
machines, etc. to the back of the floor.
the fake leopard skin sofa we lounged
was actually on layaway and disappeared
after it was finally paid for. Space is now
owned by Ripoff Ralph Macelroy.

Nadine the movie featured the stairway and 
upstairs of the Grove Drugstore, site of another 
of her art studios.

Hollywood is obviously on to her studios. Are there
others out there? 

Nadine the movie also has touching views of Gelman's 
6th St. Department Store now but a memory
