Honda Commercial To Be Filmed In Downtown

Posted on Tuesday, July 13, 2010 in Downtown, Tacoma

This Sunday the Theater District and the St. Helens Neighborhood in Downtown Tacoma will see the lights, cameras & cars.  Lodestar Films will be filming a Honda TV commercial Sunday, July 18th from 7am to 1pm.  Streets affected will be South 7th Street, St. Helens Ave., Market Street & Opera Alley. No parking signs will be in place during those times and an off-duty Tacoma Police Officer will control traffic during filming.

Exterior shots will be filmed along St. Helen’s Ave. between S. 7th Street and Opera Alley, along S. 7th Street between St. Helen’s Ave & Broadway and along Opera Alley. A Picture car will drive down the streets while a camera car follows filming the action.

I don’t have info if this will be a regional or national TV commercial but it appears Lodestar Films, based in Hollywood, CA has filmed some national TV commercials for Honda & Acura.

What businesses will we see in the commercial? Puget Sound Pizza? The Mix? Over the Moon Cafe? We will have to wait and see.

Another Bail Bonds Joint in the Theater District

Posted on Monday, April 13, 2009 in Business, Downtown, Tacoma

Word on the street is another bail bonds storefront is coming to the Theater District. I am told Scott Free Bail Bonds is moving into the former Tacoma Events Commission location at 759 Market Street. If you recall this location is in between City Hall and Aladdin Bail Bonds. I am sure my many friends who live in the neighborhood will be thrilled!

The building is owned by City of Destiny LLC who’s registered members include Pat Nagel and Carole Holder of The Hub, Harmon Brewery, and Sound & Shore Properties fame.
