They've started repainting storefronts on Broughton Street in bright garish cartoon colors for the filming of the "Sponge Bob Square Pants" movie sequel. Anybody seen this? Pretty cool!

Seems some of our local tv news websites are doing a better job documenting this than dear old Savannah Morning News.

Ever since I got ticked off at the SMN's inability to change my subscription status without my canceling and restarting it, I have started reading all of the TV websites, as well. (I don't watch much, if any TV lately, either) The SMN is lazy. None of them are great, but a couple of the TV stations have much more comprehensive images of the new paint jobs.

Fun fun. Headed there soon to look.

I also bookmarked the sites for the Savannah TV stations out of frustration with SMN. Their whole paywall thing is totally ridic, allowing you a certain amount of "views" per month, picking and choosing which stories are free to view and which ones are behind the wall. I want to get my fix of hometown news, so the main beneficiaries of SMN's website changes are wsav and wtoc.

Anyway, on the topic, I hope they're not going to leave the buildings in those colors!

There was a picture of this in the paper in the past few days. It said they would be repainting when they were finished. Maybe they should just leave the vibrant colors?

I agree! I really like what I see so far! Really brightens up the street!

as an aside re SMN if you right click the story you want to read and select "open in incognito window" you can read as many stories as you like. as least in chrome

I went to see the paint last night. The orange starburst over Drayton St. Is particularly nice. Are they finished painting?

I think they've only just begun. Filming doesn't begin until October ...
