I'm looking for shooting locations for The Children (1980).
According to imdb, it was shot in Great Barrington, MA so a friend and I are planning to make a side trip there on the way to the Dusk til Dawn horror show in Coxsackie as it's only 15 minutes off our route. I've already located the cemetery used in the film on the north end of Stony Brook Rd using Google Street View, but wondered if anybody else here is from the area and knows where else we should check out. I'm also curious where the store and covered bridge is located. The covered bridge is a true mystery to me. You would think that it would be very easy to find, but I have to have spent 2 hours online looking through hundreds of photos and haven't found it. So either it's in another part of the country altogether than the northeast, it doesn't exist anymore, or it has had major renovation in the past 30 years. But either way one would think that there would be an archival photo out there, but nope. I PMed fellow board member Richard Anthony a week ago because he has mentioned in the past as being from that area, but I don't think that he checks in here all too often and even then he may overlook the fact that he has a PM so I'm throwing this out there for anybody to answer.
So if any of you can help, thanks! |
I've never seen the movie, but I used to do some location hunting for my blog. Post some screengrabs and I'll see what I can do.
I did a quick search for covered bridges nearby. Search for Covered Bridge Lane in Sheffield, MA. It's about five miles south of Great Barrington and you'll find a covered bridge there. |
was this movie shot in 1979?? cause it was released sept 1980.
http://saturdayfrightspecial.com/jpg...n/cemetery.jpg I believe that I have that one covered: http://saturdayfrightspecial.com/jpg...ren/google.png And now for the covered bridge: http://saturdayfrightspecial.com/jpg...ren/bridge.jpg http://saturdayfrightspecial.com/jpg...en/bridge2.jpg This is the one located in Sheffield. http://www.bridges-covered.com/cov_p...effield_ma.jpg As you can see, they look nothing alike, but looking at satellite images again, it may still be a possibility. My only question is that in my experience with time dirt roads become paved, not paved roads become dirt. Here's another one I'm interested in finding, but unlike the last two examples it wouldn't surprise me in the least if it didn't exist anymore. http://saturdayfrightspecial.com/jpg...dren/store.png |
wow, its funny seeing these screen shots how much things change.. Like the fence in front of the cemetery.. A lot of stuff you can tell is the same. but has changed. well, quess 34 yrs later gotta expect some changes...
It isn't too surprising that the fence has been replaced, though, because it looks like it was already dilapidated and falling apart way back in 1979/1980. It's weird that that one tree hasn't appeared to have changed or grown. Maybe it's just the kind of tree that it is. Or maybe it's CURSED! :eek: |
These are great! Thanks for sharing!
No luck on the bridge, I take it? |
Nope. Oh well, we probably wouldn't have had time to check it out unless it was right around the corner. The cemetery is easily the most memorable part of the movie and therefore the most important. The black flies were really terrible and there was something else in the air that gave me a minor asthma attack for about a half hour after we drove away. It was really neat to see how very little had changed in over 33 years. It's a very peaceful area with little in the way of traffic. We were there for probably 45 minutes and only about 5 cars drove past. Anybody within driving distance should check it out. It's a nice scenic trip.
wow these are super cool shots. iam quessing The Children was lensed around fall of 79. but I could be wrong. maybe early 80.. but these shots are so cool. good job. wow, not much has changed...
1. Did you go there with a laptop with the movie (or at least screen shots) so you could match the camera angles? 2. Let's hear about the drive-in show! |
I had the screen captures on my phone, and a friend put his phone next to it to snap the photo. We tried our best (but not our OCD best) to get it identical, although some shots were very difficult. We figure that for the one with the woman tripping over the corpse the original film crew would have basically had to lay their camera on the ground.
The drive in show was a lot of fun. I'll dig out the old thread I devoted to it when I have more than a moment to spare. |
The new shots look great but I kept getting fooled into thinking I was looking at a new remastered Blu Ray/VHS comparison.
Beautiful country! |

Hockey in Columbus l Learn to Play l Youth Organizations l High School l College l Adult
Hockey in Columbus
Much like little league baseball or youth soccer there are youth programs for aspiring hockey players. Much like these other sports there is a national governing body for the sport.
The national governing body for hockey in the United States is USA Hockey, which divides the country into 11 districts. Ohio is part of the Mid-Am District, along with Indiana, Kentucky, Western Pennsylvania and West Virginia. There are hundreds of youth organizations within each of the 11 districts which help make-up its membership. USA Hockey is a member of the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF), the World governing body for ice hockey.
USA Hockey established all the rules and regulations to be followed by its members and sets forth the age classifications (listed below):
Birth Date | Age | Age Division |
1996 | Six months of 18 | Midget Major |
1997 | 17 | Midget Major |
1998 | 16 | Midget Minor |
1999 | 15 | Midget Minor |
2000 | 14 | Bantam Major |
2001 | 13 | Bantam Minor |
2002 | 12 | Pee Wee Major |
2003 | 11 | Pee Wee Minor |
2004 | 10 | Squirt Major |
2005 | 9 | Squirt Minor |
2006 | 8 and under | Mite |
However, before getting involved with these organizations where practice is focused on team concepts and game play, it is important for new players to go through a beginner program which focuses on the fundamental skills of hockey.
These beginner programs are often independent of USA Hockey in the sense that there are no official games, teams, officials, etc. In many cases, these programs will use the guidelines set forth by USA Hockey to insure proper development of players. The largest beginner program offered in the Columbus area is Junior Jackets.

PierePonts/P.F Changs- Kansas City
- s
- Simon Majumdar
- 9 Comments
- Follow
Just back from a flying visit to the Midwest and was taken by the good people of Andrews Mcmeel to two places. I wondered what locals made of them
Pierponts ( Sp?) was fun, overly loud and with perhaps the lowest slung booth seating in history. I may only be 5'8 but I had to stretch to reach the table. They moved us with no probs but I wonder if these booths were made for beef eating big ol midwest buutocks??
The menu was perfectly OK but replicated every single modern american restaurant in the country. Ahi Tuna ( gasp! ) Alaskan Halibut ( swoon! ) at least it was Kansas strip not NY strip. The service was very cheerful and they did have a great selection of wines by the glass.
The main reason to go there was the wonderous restoration of Union Station. Beautiful and lovingly done.
P.F Changs - was a simple Chinese Bistro with US touches, but I found its offering of steamed bits and pieces fresh and inviting. If you look in the dictionary under the word "perky" you would probably find a picture of the waitress who served us. For a jaded londoner, rather refreshing and it was a very welcome lunch stop.
After much indulgence in NY tasting menus for a few days before, I found Kansas welcomingly free of the " up its own arse" phenomena, that we are prone to here in London ( me included-surely not?)
I would love to know what locals make of these places if indeed they ever go there
You went to Kansas City and not Arthur Bryant's BBQ??? If you did go, how about a report?
re: michael (mea culpa)
Pierpont's is one of our favorite places to go for special occasions. We highly recommend it.
re: Val
Pierpont's is fair classy, but PF Chang's?? Uck. IMHO, Fedora, the Canyon, or Figlio's are better choices on the Plaza. For real Asian, go down riverside. There are some good ones at City Market. That's the real shiznit. Bet you'll never find shark fin soup or "tendon special" on the menu at Chang's. Heh.
Not sure if you are aware or not, but P.F. Chang's is a chain. In fact, it's a publicly traded company. I agree that it's one of the better ones -- way better than the Darden Group's Olive Gardens/Red Lobster.
Have never been to PierePont's.
You are likely to get some abuse for these two choices, but I noted that you were a guest of Andrews McMeel. All I can say is that they are a wonderful and smart publishing company, but they seem to abuse their foreign visitors.
Kansas City is one of the most wonderful food towns in the U.S.0 -
"The main reason to go there was the wonderous restoration of Union Station. Beautiful and lovingly done."
Hope you were shown the bullet holes still visible on the front of the Station from the infamous St. Valentine's Day Massacre (I had to ask @ the information desk--they seemed slightly ashamed of their mobster past).
Other tourist stops if you have time next visit: American Jazz Museum and Negro Leagues Baseball Museum on 18th and Vine. And, as long as you're in the neighborhood--Arthur Bryant's is right down the street.
(I'm quite fond of Andrews McMeel for having the courage to bring us Doonesbury so many years ago.)0-
re: jenniferfishwilson
Ah hem. St. Valentine's Day Massacre in Kansas City? At Union Station? In Kansas City? It took place in Chicago on N. Clark Street. Al Capone was gunning for Bugs Moran and found him. Not gunning for you Jenny, just thought you would prefer the facts.
re: bryan
I was wondering about that. Yeah, Clark Street...P.F Chang may be a chain, but it's a pretty good one. At the one in Chicago (Northbrook, actually) the things we had were fresh and well made.

I think she is refering to the Union Station Massacre of June, 1933. Five FBI men were killed in the parking lot while transfering a prisoner.

Summary of Nonproliferation funding in Obama Administration's fiscal year 2016 Budget Request By Nickolas Roth The Obama administration is proposing to boost Department of Energy nonproliferation funding to $1.94 billion—more than a $300 million increase from what Congress appropriated last year—in fiscal year 2016. But this is an increase over the very low fiscal year 2015 budget proposed by the administration and then further cut by Congress. Both Congress and the Russian government have cut back on further U.S.-funded nuclear security work in Russia, and the Obama administration has yet to develop major new initiatives that could absorb those resources.

Implementing International Mechanisms to Ensure the Security of Military Materials By Samantha Pitts-Kiefer In the 2014 Nuclear Security Summit Communiqué, leaders from more than 50 countries "reaffirm[ed] the fundamental responsibility of States, in accordance with their respective obligations, to maintain at all times effective security of all nuclear and other radioactive materials, including nuclear materials used in nuclear weapons, and nuclear facilities under their control. This responsibility includes taking appropriate measures to prevent non-state actors from obtaining such materials – or related sensitive information or technology – which could be used for malicious purposes, and to prevent acts of terrorism and sabotage."

Why Security Fails By Roger G. Johnston In thinking about how nuclear security and safeguards can fail, it is useful to keep in mind why security usually fails in general. Most security managers and organizations have a good understanding of the assets they are trying to protect, the resources available to them to protect those assets, and the consequences should security fail (though this is sometimes greatly underestimated). They often have a reasonably accurate understanding of the threats they face—who might attack, why, how, when, and with what goals and resources. What is often lacking is a good understanding of the vulnerabilities—the weaknesses in the security that can be exploited by the threats—and how those vulnerabilities can be mitigated or eliminated.

Senators Nunn and Lugar on Nuclear Security in Russia By Nickolas Roth In 1991—recognizing the global danger posed by inadequately secured Russian nuclear weapons and materials— Senators Sam Nunn (D-GA) and Richard Lugar (R-IN) led the Congressional charge in passing the Cooperative Threat Reduction Act. This seminal piece of legislation created the first major U.S. effort to work with Russia on preventing the theft of Russian nuclear weapons and materials. In a Washington Post op-ed last week, Senators Nunn and Lugar responded to the recent news that Russia had halted this cooperation.

Russia puts positive spin on nuclear security cooperation – which is good By Matthew Bunn Russia's state nuclear corporation, Rosatom, has put out a statement on the Boston Globe story on Russia calling a halt to nearly all U.S.-Russian nuclear security cooperation. (See Russian stories based on the statement here and here.) The statement, in essence, tries to avoid responsibility by saying that cooperation is continuing (citing work on returning highly enriched uranium from other countries to Russia), and to blame the United States for any interruption (citing the U.S. cutoff of nuclear energy and nuclear science cooperation as part of the sanctions over Ukraine).

Rebuilding U.S.-Russian Nuclear Security Cooperation By Matthew Bunn As the Boston Globe reported Monday, Russia has put a stop, for now, to most U.S.-Russian nuclear security cooperation. Russian, U.S., and world security will be in more danger as a result. But some small pieces of cooperation continue – and with creativity and effort, it may be possible to rebuild a robust nuclear security dialogue of equals, rather than a donor-recipient relationship.

Belfer Experts: The End of U.S.–Russian Nuclear Security Cooperation? More than two decades of U.S.-Russian cooperation to keep potential nuclear bomb material out of terrorist hands largely came to an end last month, as The Boston Globe reported Monday. Although the dangers have not gone away, Russia is no longer interested in working on most nuclear security projects with the United States— yet another victim of increasing tension between the two countries. The Belfer Center has been centrally involved in these efforts since their inception. Belfer Center experts Graham Allison, Matthew Bunn, and William Tobey offer their thoughts.

What Can the Secret Service Teach Us About Nuclear Security? By Nickolas Roth One of the more notable storylines throughout 2014 was the continued failures of the U.S. Secret Service. There were three striking high profile lapses in the Secret Service's ability to protect President Obama: one where a man jumped over the White House fence, running through the front door of the White House and throughout its main floor; another where an armed man with an arrest record was able to ride on the same elevator as the President; and another where a man posing as a Member of Congress was able to sneak into a secured area where the President was speaking. Towards the end of the year, problems within the Secret Service became a hotly debated political football, resulting in the resignation of the Service's director.

Congress Reaffirms Support for Preventing Theft of Russian Nuclear Material By Nickolas Roth Advocates of preventing nuclear terrorism received an early holiday present. Earlier in the year, two of the four Congressional committees most directly responsible for nuclear security policy had included language in bills that would have damaged the United States' ability to engage in nuclear security cooperation with Russia. But Congress has taken responsible action in supporting continued work with Russia in this area in the combined House-Senate version of the FY2015 National Defense Authorization Act. (Here is the bill and explanatory language.) Read more about Congress Reaffirms Support for Preventing Theft of Russian Nuclear Material Comments
Why the United States Should Suspend Nuclear Security Cooperation Inside Russia By BG Kevin Ryan (US Army retired) Last week, the editor for the New York Times "Room for Debate" blog asked me to comment on the question, "Should Washington and Moscow continue to work together to reduce nuclear stockpiles and cooperate to secure, or eliminate, weapons and nuclear materials despite the dispute around Russian actions in Ukraine?" I wrote, "We should honor our New START commitments," but, beyond that, "until Russia removes its troops from eastern Ukraine and ceases its military support to pro-Russian separatists there, the United States should suspend any discussion on future arms reductions or cooperation on securing Russian nuclear materials and weapons." Four other commenters disagreed with my recommendation. Read more about Why the United States Should Suspend Nuclear Security Cooperation Inside Russia Comments
The United States Should Chew Gum and Walk on Nuclear Security By Nickolas Roth Last weekend, the New York Times published a debate on whether, as a result of tension over Ukraine, the United States should cut off nuclear security cooperation with Russia. As the Times reported before the debate, Russia may be bringing nearly all of this cooperation to an end–but there are some in the United States saying the U.S. government should act to end it whether or not Russia is willing to continue. Given the deteriorating relationship between the two countries, this issue should be debated now. We are continuing the debate on Nuclear Security Matters and welcome readers to send us their thoughts. Read more about The United States Should Chew Gum and Walk on Nuclear Security Comments
Nuclear Security Cooperation Between U.S. and Russia Takes Another Hit By Nickolas Roth Yesterday, the New York Times published an article revealing that, at the end of 2014, Russia plans to reduce its cooperation with the United States on securing nuclear materials within its borders. The United States and Russia have made substantial progress in securing nuclear material over the past two decades, but more work is needed. Halting cooperation not only risks future progress on reducing the risk of nuclear terrorism, but also jeopardizes progress to date. Here is how Belfer Center experts responded to the announcement: Read more about Nuclear Security Cooperation Between U.S. and Russia Takes Another Hit Comments
Strengthening International Cooperation on Nuclear Materials Security By Nickolas Roth Matthew Bunn, Will Tobey, Hui Zhang, and Nickolas Roth recently participated in a two-day roundtable discussion sponsored by the Stanley Foundation on U.S. nuclear security cooperation with Russia and China.

The deal to win Shelby County government's backing of Memphis Mayor A C Wharton's plan for a Fairgrounds Tourism Development Zone is getting more complex.
The latest version outlined Tuesday, Jan. 20, at City Hall still includes a city guarantee to make up any sales tax revenue that would normally go to fund local public schools that might be lost to financing the reconfiguration of the Fairgrounds.
Two weeks after they ignored a proposed $43.1 million settlement of the six-year old schools funding legal standoff, Memphis City Council members Tuesday, Jan. 20, approved a $41.8 million settlement with Shelby County Schools.
In April, Larry Nailor will walk out of the Memphis Federal Correctional Institution and away from the life sentence he got in Memphis federal court in the mid-1990s for having 50 grams of crack cocaine.

The Memphis Bar Association poll of attorneys on the judicial races on the Aug. 7 ballot shows 16 percent to as high as 38 percent of the attorneys participating have no opinion in many of the judicial races.
Numbers rarely lie, and in Gregg Popovich's case they finally piled up in a way too compelling to ignore.
Five NBA titles spread over 15 years is a dynasty, even – maybe especially – in this era of short attention spans. It's long past time Popovich got the credit he deserves.
Gov. Bill Haslam and Transportation Commissioner John Schroer have released the state's three-year, $1.5 billion transportation program.
The Haslam administration said the plan unveiled Thursday takes a conservative approach because of uncertainty over future federal transit funding. It contains no money to pay for early engineering work on new projects.
Republican U.S. Sen. Lamar Alexander raised $614,000 in the first quarter, leaving him with $3.1 million on hand for his bid for a third term.
Alexander said he received formal notification on Thursday that he has qualified for the Aug. 7 primary. His eight opponents in the GOP nomination contest include state Rep. Joe Carr of Murfreesboro and former Shelby County Commissioner George Flinn.

The Memphis Tigers were bound to pay a price for getting run off their home court in the quarterfinals of the American Athletic Conference by UConn. And on Selection Sunday, they found out the price was landing in another 8-9 game in the NCAA Tournament.
First, there was the debate. Would Briarcrest star Austin Nichols really stay home and play for the Memphis Tigers? Or would outside offers, including ones from Duke, Kansas and North Carolina, be too good to pass up?
Natchez, Miss., Mayor Larry L. Brown came to Memphis last week with the kind of prepared remarks that are standard for gatherings where you have more than two mayors of cities.
The remarks are long on making sure everyone involved gets their name called and the previously agreed-upon talking points get mentioned if there is any time left.

So far, the University of Memphis football team has been in the game come the fourth quarter. But, so far, they've been unable to take advantage of that situation in a 28-14 loss here to Duke and in a 17-15 defeat last week at Middle Tennessee State.
Larry Montgomery, member with Glankler Brown PLLC, has been named a Top Lawyer in American Lawyer/Corporate Counsel's 2013 Top Rated Lawyers in Insurance Law, based on his Martindale-Hubbell AV Preeminent rating.
JACKSON, Miss. (AP) – Director Tate Taylor says he wants to make his native Mississippi a place where people can build careers with steady work in the movie business.

Gov. Bill Haslam has named Larry Martin the new commissioner of the state Department of Finance and Administration. He has been the interim commissioner since June 1. The 65-year-old succeeded Mark Emkes, who retired in May.
There is no reliable way to determine if a losing football program is on the precipice of becoming a winning football program. If there was, we'd all be getting rich betting the games.
But there is something to be said about change starting at the top.

President Barack Obama carried Shelby County in unofficial Nov. 6 election returns as his Republican challenger Mitt Romney took the state's 11 electoral votes.
Voter turnout in the most popular election cycle among Shelby County voters was 61.9 percent, about the same percentage as four years ago. But the 371,256 voters is fewer than 2008 when more than 400,000 Shelby County voters cast ballots. The percentage is about the same because there are fewer registered voters in Shelby County than there were four years ago after a purge by election officials.

In a month's time, the debate about how to hire more Memphis police officers seems to bear out staying at least within Shelby County.
Memphis Police Director Larry Godwin said this week that he expects to have a full complement of nearly 2,600 police officers by 2011.
The incentives were passed on an eventful day at City Hall in which Mayor Willie Herenton announced the administration is moving the hiring of police officers from the police department to the city's human resources department.
Some council members who opposed the ability to hire police officers who didn't live in the city or Shelby County have also questioned how the police department was hiring officers.
In announcing the move, Herenton denied the police hiring process has been unfair.
Council member Bill Morrison proposed the new incentives that would apply to officers hired who apply after Jan. 1. The incentives are:
-- Up to $5,000 on any existing student loans.
-- $3,500 in moving expenses if the new officer moves within Shelby County.
-- $5,000 in moving expense if the new officer moves within Memphis.
The incentives would remain in force for those hired until the department reaches its full compliment.
Morrison removed plans to include a hiring bonus that had drawn opposition from Memphis Police Director Larry Godwin. Godwin as well as Herenton argued a bonus would hurt morale by appearing to give preferential treatment to some officers.
Godwin said his department appears to be on target to hire its full compliment of nearly 2,600 officers by 2011. He also said a local advertising campaign that began last month has produced a torrent of applications.
Some council members contended that the police department needed the ability to hire officers who live outside Shelby County to meet the goal. Other council members were just as adamant that police officers should at least live within Shelby County and preferably in Memphis.
The plan to allow hiring within 20 miles outside the county line failed on a 6-7 vote.
Morrison's resolution passed Tuesday on an 11-2 vote. Only council members Joe Brown and Wanda Halbert voted no.
Read more about the latest chapter in the council's ongoing debate about beefing up the police force in Thursday's edition of The Daily News.
The council also approved a resolution on a unanimous vote that would end the city's share of funding for the local Health Department at the end of this month.
The pull out of city funding in the jointly funded department may not be final however. Shelby County commissioners are expected to discuss today a resolution that would extend talks between city and county leaders about the joint operation through January. Council members question why the city of Memphis helps fund the department but no other municipalities in the county provide funding.
Council members took the action in case the talks go nowhere, so the city won't be bound under contract for another fiscal year.
The city and county jointly fund several government agencies. The health department is the only one governed by a contract. The other shared entities are provided for in the annual budget process which begins in April.
Herenton provided the council with a decidedly downbeat preview of what is to come in April. He confirmed earlier reports in The Daily News that his administration would seek to cut the number of city employees with a buyout plan. The specific plan is to cut 100 positions from the city payroll through one time only buyouts to counter a $25 million budget shortfall projected for the fiscal year that begins July 1.
An $8.8 million city budget deficit is projected for the current fiscal year that ends June 30.

U.S. District Court Judge Hardy Mays soon could issue a ruling on a request by the union for an injunction permitting its president, Lt. Gene Hulley, to take part in the bargaining. Mays heard Thursday from both sides in the federal lawsuit.
The Memphis Police Association and Lt. Gene Hulley this week filed suit in federal court against the city of Memphis seeking an injunction that allows Hulley to participate in contract talks between the city and the union that began this month.
She came to federal court on Valentine's Day wearing red - her hair a slightly different shade of red than her jacket. Some of her supporters wore red as well and carried homemade signs with hearts on them.
There was no looting last week in Hickory Hill, the section of Southeast Memphis hit harder than any other place in the city by a swarm of tornadoes that devastated a five-state region.

Lt. Gene Hulley takes office as president of the union with the new year. And Godwin made it clear this week that Hulley will have to exchange his silver bars for stripes if he wants to hold the office.

Anyone who has seen "The Godfather" probably knows what it means when a person is said to be "going to the mattresses."
