According to the The Bayonne Community News, the fictional video store owned by Cillian's Watching the Detectives character, film noir buff Neil, is very appropriately named Gumshoe Video, and it's located on Avenue C near 47th Street in Bayonne, New Jersey.

The video store looked so real even some locals thought it was a new store opening, until the movie stars showed up...

"This is one of our main film locations," [second assistant director Nick] Bell said during a break from shooting on the second day of what is expected to be a weeklong shoot... "The staff has been in here for about a month making the video store look like a video store."

...When asked why the company picked Bayonne for the production, [location manager Marshall?] Johnson said, "This is supposed to happen in 'Anytown.' Bayonne seems to fit what we needed since this is our main location." The production is being filmed in a section of Bayonne that still has the look and feel of post World War II era, with nearby stores still bearing signs and images that were typical of the 1950s and 1960s. Johnson said Bayonne also would provide several other locations including chase scenes down an alleyway near the local synagogue.

OK, tristate area folks: please let us know if you if visit the set! Email me if you like.

Trusting to make the right dionsecis can be tough. Many of us develop this ability over the course of our life. Frankly it takes more than just happening to happen.
