I’m not sure why Hi-Tech is keeping all of its recent movie signage up – unless it’s attempting to become a major stop on some non-existent Decatur Movie Bus Tour – but god help any unsuspecting driver who pulls in to our eccentric gas station for a fill up.

I gotta believe its not permanent.  What a strange property.

As a resident of North Candler St, Andrew recently received a letter from Sony Pictures alerting him that scenes from the upcoming film “Zombieland” would be shot at our own lovely Hi-Tech Gas Station on March 2nd and 3rd.

According to Sony’s letter, the “action/comedy” movie stars Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, Superbad’s Emma Stone and Abigail Breslin and is “the story of one man’s search for love in a world run amuck with…you guessed it…zombies!”

In addition to filming at Hi-Tech, a short scene will also be filmed at the intersection of N.Candler and Sycamore.  This will require the closure of N. Candler between E. Howard and Sycamore for approximately 4 hours.

If I’ve said it once, I’ve said it a thousand times – we must stop arguing over development and address our rampant zombie population!  Forget C-2/R-60!  Smart growth ain’t all that smart when you got no brains!
