SUBURBICON PART DUECE There is no way you don’t already know that George Clooney brought his film crew to Ash and Basque for a few days earlier this month but I have a bit of info you do not know. Fullerton is the place to be for filming, in more ways than one. I ran into one of the security officers (pictured above) and he asked me where I was from. I told him I was there to get info for the Fullerton Observer and that I was born in Fullerton and had a business and home here, and that really set him off. He did not have a card so I gave him mine and he promised to contact me but so far no luck so I can’t tell you his name, maybe he will be in the credits. First thing he said was “I have been doing this for over 30 years and I don’t want to leave Fullerton.” I asked him why and he said “This is the greatest place I have ever been. The City, the neighborhood, the people are so amaz - ing I wish this shoot would go on and on.” He said he had met many of the neighbors and felt like he was part of the neighborhood himself because they came back each day to see how he was doing and to tell them what was happening in their lives. Fullerton vs. Mayberry, Fullerton wins. It was, as they said, a Chamber of Commerce moment. Blue skies, movie stars, swimming pools. Somehow an old TV show theme song crept in there for a second. The point is, we all know why we are all here in this friendly berg but it is inspiring to hear nothing but high praise from someone who had no idea what Fullerton was all about.
