On the morning of the shoot, the entire street outside the bar and the house where the film was being shot was full of heavy machines and construction workers doing their thing to prepare the street for the extension of the streetcar line. Fortunately, the workers were interested in watching the filming and stopped working so the scenes could be filmed.
During the shoot, a parade with a marching band also halted production for a few minutes.
The bar owner also owns the house, which was not a foreclosure in real life but in between renters.
