Scoping out movie sets is practically a city-wide past time in New York and today in the New York Times' City Life, Francis X. Cline elaborates on the natives' love/hate relationship with the constant filming on our streets. While it's easy to love catching a few celeb sightings on your lunch break or nab a snack from the unsuspecting Craft Services, it seems complaints about location scouts getting carte blanche on illegal parking led to a crackdown by the city on their permits as of July 1. Guess the chance that you might end up an extra in the next Spiderman movie pales in comparison to parking parity.
