“Boardwalk Empire,” an HBO TV series directed by renowned filmmaker Martin Scorsese, is filming on Claremont today only.

The sleuthing required to find this was very little. When filming in a public area, all production companies must post signs stating the name of the production and its company as well as the dates that it films in the location. Occasionally, an alias is posted for the show title so as to detract from on-lookers.

That was what I thought had occurred this time. “Boardwalk Empire” doesn’t sound like it would take place in a cold climate, but it was in fact the real name of the show. The series itself is supposed to take place in Atlantic City, where there is a popular boardwalk, so I was obviously mistaken.

According to the Internet Movie Database, the show “Chronicles the life and times of Nucky Thompson, the undisputed ruler of Atlantic City, who was equal parts politician and gangster.”
