Dear Algiers Residents,                                 

We are planning to film in the New Orleans area Winter 2013. Our preparations on the 400 block of Park Blvd. will be Tuesday, January 8^th and Wednesday, January 9^th.  Our filming will be Friday, January 11^th, Monday, January 14^th through Wednesday, January 16^th, and Friday, February 8^th.  There will be preparation activity from Thursday, January 17^th to Thursday, February 7^th.  Restoration should be completed by February 28^th. 

Although most of our trucks will be parked on private lots, it will be necessary to hold some street parking for continuity purposes.  During our preparations, filming and restoration, “No Parking” signs will be posted on the 300 & 400 Block of Lawrence Street, the 400 Block of Park Blvd., and the 1100 Block of Teche Street.  The “No Parking” signs will be posted between 24 to 48 hours before the restrictions begin, with police and security on hand.  If you have any concerns about parking or own a vehicle that is unable to move please call us at the numbers below with any questions or concerns.  We are frequently able to find solutions for people with special parking needs.  We are aware that parking is at a premium in this area, and will remove all “No Parking” signs when we finish work in this area.

Thank you in advance for allowing us to film in your beautiful area. The key to New Orleans’s success as a premier filming destination is the generosity and cooperation of the community. Please feel free to contact us at any time so we can address your questions or concerns regarding our proposed filming.  Thank you again for your time and consideration!
