As I often do, started my day off today with a walk down to our Memorial Park here in Nyack, NY only to find that our park's parking was off limits to the local citizens...seems that once again HBO was doing more filming for, "The Leftovers". I'm sure our elected officials see some benefit in having the film crew here, perhaps it might even bring some financial benefits to the city treasury...however, a lot of the citizens of our little town along the Hudson River could easy do without the disruption of our daily lives. Even more so when the film crew wants to chase us out of our own city park.
SPOILER ALERT...not sure that "The Leftovers" has a very large viewership, but for those who do watch the show, I am going to be spoiling the theme of an upcoming episode.
Seems the writers think it a great idea to celebrate "Memorial Day in Mapleton" just a few days before the 4th of July in our little town of Nyack, NY...filming is later on in the day, so I may post a few cast pictures as an addendum to this article this evening if the crew does not chase me away like they did earlier today.
The central point of focus of the show...a very HOKEY LOOKING Memorial around a statue that interrupts the ability of our town's kids to use the ball field today...so Little Leaguers, maybe tomorrow you can have your outfield back. Guess filming an HBO show is far more important that letting our kids have a safe place to play during the summer time when school is closed?

The rest of the park including our Gazebo is decked out in traditional Memorial Bunting...all we need now is for a few of our streets to be blocked off so that HBO can host a mock parade down to the park on this special day.
Not meaning to sound unwelcoming here, but Nyack has a serious parking problem, and even more of one right now with all the road work being done in and around town...having HBO shutting down our access to parking at the park just does not work for those wanting to stop by the park for their noon time lunch, or for mothers wanting to bring their children down to the river to feed the ducks along the river's edge. Perhaps some of the folks down at city hall need to learn how to "Just Say No" to some of these projects and events that greatly inconvenience those who live in and enjoy Nyack.
For those who have not yet caught an episode, if the reviews are to believed, you are not missing much. Small town of Mapleton suddenly wakes up one day with 2 percent of the town gone, vanished into thin air.
Think Rapture...hmmm...only 2 percent would seem to indicate that a lot of God fearing people are going to get left behind when and if such a biblical event ever occurs. Pardon me I am drifting...the basic theme of the show is straight forward...small town deals with the aftermath of having two percent of its citizens stolen away. So compelling and so believable....sort of like filming a Memorial Day Celebration just before the 4th of July just outside of New York city.
