Little Chicago


These are two of the "old fashioned" stores on Kennedy Street that were created for the movie "Little Chicago". Filiming continued over the weekend despite some unforgiving weather.

A scene from Little Chicago was filmed Saturday night on Chestnut street wherein three men were gunned down in front of the "Bradford Men's Club". Many Bradfordians braved the below freezing temperatures to watch the filming. Crew members for the gangster movie "Little Chicago" set off a fiery fake explosion in a home at 10 Howard St. Monday night amidst a very real snowstorm.After several takes and multiple hours of preparation in blizzard-like conditions, an actor successfully lobbed an "explosive package" - which in reality was filled with potatoes - into a half-open window at the house, giving the "bombs away" cue for special effects experts.
In the scene, Bradford native Buddy Crappio's character was driven up to the target house by an accomplice in a 1920s vehicle. Crappio exited the car, threw the bomb and got back in the car for a hasty retreat.
