I’ve just been sent a link to an excellent photo gallery an enthusiast posted online of “Public Enemies” filming in Chicago over the last couple days. I’m featuring a few of the photos below.

More photos from this person’s gallery can be found here. The person who took these submitted the accompanying text on April 1, 2008 at IMDb:

Here’s a link to pictures I’ve taken over the past couple days (including tonight). All of these are from the filming taking place at Clark/Newport in Wrigleyville. They’ve created a “shantytown” under the L tracks and have laid down some surfacing that makes parts of Newport Ave look like the street is brick. They have also placed a large ad sign on the side of the building reflecting the period. They have put up old lightposts and there are about 10 old cars lining the street (and a few driving around). It also looks like they are doing a significant amount of filming in the building located at the corner of Newport/Clark behind the liquor store.

One of the other additional cool things is they are running an old elevated train on the tracks back and forth over Newport. From being down there, looks like the filming will continue all night (and again tomorrow night, based on the notifications we’ve received on our doors from Universal). They have Newport from Halsted to Clark blocked off, and it was a little difficult to get access to our apartment, but it looks like the best place to check things out will be at Clark/Newport.

Anyway, the pictures aren’t perfect (especially the ones at night) but gives you a little feel for what’s going on.
