TF2 Production in Philly's Italian Market

Transformers 2 was in South Philly's Italian Market to shoot scenes for the movie and Powet.tv has the write up with pics as taken by Philly's Josh Landow.

Filming took place at inside Cappucelli's Meats (a butcher shop) on Kimball Street between 8th and 9th streets. Spotted at the location were Bay, Shia Labeouf, Megan Fox, and John Turturro. He did not spot any Transformer vehicles however. What cars on the street where for background of the scene going on inside the shop. Of note is a sign inside the shop that said "Cuppucci & Simmons". I guess the ex-Sector 7 agent couldn't find a better job after the agency was dissolved, but I bet he kept some of their toys.

Josh's full report is here with more descriptions to help describe the photos he took of the action and the actors. (source)
