CALLED 'LOVE IN FAIRHOPE'
A reality TV show is using the old library on Summit Street as well as other locations around town.
From WKRG news reports:
"Production on a new streaming series titled ‘Love in Fairhope’ started last week on the Eastern Shore. It’s something Fairhope city officials have been keeping under wraps for the past 18 months while production crews obtained permits and scouted the area.
“It’s good for the economy. Obviously when they come here they rent housing, they have caterers, they have food they come to restaurants,” Sullivan said.
Fairhope Mayor Sherry Sullivan can’t say which streaming service is behind the series, but based on casting and crew information online it appears the new show will air on Hulu. ‘Love in Fairhope’ will document the lives of five women who are navigating life and love on the Eastern Shore.
“It’s kind of love through the years. Maybe young love and there’s a widowed person who finds love again. It kind of follows you through the stages of life and finding love at every stage,” Sullivan explained.
Sullivan said it’s not a quick production. Crews will be in town filming through November.
Sources said the Fairhope Inn restaurant will be featured in the new series. Most of the filming will take place indoors at area businesses, so we’re told road closures and detours won’t be needed over the coming months. A release date for the show hasn’t been set."
Comments
Let us recall that Hulu and their corporate masters, mostly Disney and some Comcast, look down upon the South, Alabama, Christians, marriage, families, etc. Somehow, despite their scorn, we still manage to celebrate our blessings every day and lift each other up, even as so many cities are falling apart socially. So, why should we care that they sprinkle a few of their ill-gotten dollars (yes, grooming our children, alone, justifies the characterization) around town?
Rather than greeting these transient guests with oohs and ahhs, we would do better to adapt an attitude of polite indifference. As for any locals involved in the project, directly, I hope that you are well paid and well treated. We should celebrate YOUR success in the arts.
If, by "southern" politics, you mean that we don't support grooming innocent kindergarteners and butchering confused teenagers, I would suggest that there is no "down" to look upon from the trans-activist position, infernally situated as it is.
