"IT'S A BEAUTIFUL DAY IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD"
BE PART OF A FILM SHOOT SATURDAY JULY 1, 2006 5:00 PM AT THE
POINT
On Saturday July 1st at 5 p.m., Pittsburghers, past and present, near
and far, are invited to join Mr. McFeely (David Newell) to sing "It's A
Beautiful Day In the Neighborhood" at The Point.
This once-in-a-lifetime event is part of the grand finale of "A TALE OF
TWO CITIES", a movie we are making about Pittsburgh-- the city which
built America with its steel, cured polio and invented everything from
aluminum to the Big Mac which now is being challenged to reinvent itself.
For the film, we have tossed a football with Franco Harris and his son
Dok on the North Side, shopped in the Strip with Teresa Heinz Kerry, and
toured the new Alcoa building with Paul O' Neill, asking them and many
other Pittsburghers how they see the city's future.

Now is your turn to be in the film. We could use your help in getting
all of Pittsburgh to come out and sing (like the city of Chicago did for
"Ferris Bueller's Day Off.")
Bring friends, family, co-workers and pass this email along to everyone
in your address book. This is being done as part of the Three Rivers
Regatta(http://www.pghregatta.com/entertainment.asp) which has a one
dollar admission so come and make an afternoon or evening of it.
It is appropriate that its ending is taking place where the rivers meet
as they have played a starring role in the film. We actually caught and
ate a fish from Allegheny during ESPN's Bassmaster Classic to show how
Pittsburgh has changed, but not even a Hollywood screenwriter could
script a third act like the Steelers winning the Super Bowl as a
metaphor for city's comeback.
