Reverse Streetlevel: No Pub on Prospect

glenisterssmallcrop.jpg
Prospect Heights/Crown Heights residents celebrating what looked like a new pub on Prospect between Washington and Grand saw the light last week — the movie lights, that is. Gowanus Lounge reports that the empty storefront that had been reinvented as “Glenister Pub” is just a movie set. "After further scrutiny of the scene, we wondered at the large number of vintage police cars and ambulances in the area and finally noticed the inevitable No Parking signs. Thanks, 'Life On Mars' for lifting and subsequently dashing our hopes of sudsy afternoons. Now we’ll have to go back to concealing Colt 45s in socks." GMAP

The name is a nod to actor Philip Glenister, who originated the role of Gene Hunt in the UK version.
