This shoot was taking place a block exactly away from our apartment! And this isn't the first television shoot to happen in our fair city. The popular J.J. Abrams show Fringe also filmed exterior and interior scenes of their pilot here, just a block away at the Peel Memorial Hospital, currently under construction and not in use. The first shot in the above pictures shows an exterior wall of the west side of the building. The hospital was the scene of FBI Agent John Scott's recovery from a chemical explosion, which left his skin translucent. That's J.J. for you!

Here's what we get to see every day:

Across the street (which would be behind me, when I took the picture) are a series of medical buildings, which we recognize from the second screen shot when FBI Agent Olivia Dunham enters through the front entrance. The hospital was closed down a few years ago to make way for the much bigger Brampton Civic Hospital just across the city. There's a great big blue scaffold wall surrounding the grounds, so we weren't able to get any closer to take better pictures. Construction is due to start soon to improve upon this facility. In the meantime, why not make some money? Not bad!
Since Brampton is becoming a hot spot for television filming, we'll be sure to keep our eyes out ... and get an agent for extra work!
