Hollywood Comes to the Cambridge YMCA by Steve Nadis
I saw all the equipment and all the cameras lined up in the block before the Y, where a banner proudly read: "The Cambridge Family YMCA welcomes Columbia Pictures!" I parked my bike next to the catering truck figuring that Hollywood had heard about all the drama played out in the YMCA handball courts and they wanted in. But when I went inside, I found out they were just using the upstairs theater as a place for people to change and a place for the extras to hang out. In fact, I spoke briefly with a friend of mine, who was either an extra or an extra extra. I learned that they hadn't come to film my handball game, after all. Instead, it was just some movie with Kevin Spacey called "Bringing Down the House." But on the way out, I still stopped off at the catering truck to check out the potato salad that Hollywood is famous for.
