City Hall Prep Pics

Earlier there were pictures of Philadelphia City Hall after it was transformed into a French street with cafe for use by Transformers 2 production as Sam's parents enjoy their vacation and what I assume is some event disrupting their fun. Unfortunately, security gates prevented them from getting closer.

The Philly Chit Chat blog was able to get additional shots (few examples below) that show an early stage of the Cafe set here. You can see a gallery here that shows additional French themed dressing around the set to help complete the picture of a lovely day in Paris. The blog reports that the site is being staged as the "Ecole Militaire", a station of the Paris Metro transit system.

The filming is expected to occur today and the blog reports that the area will probably be closed to the public.
