Upper Darby public information officer announces Drexel Hill filming, July 9–11; street closures expected

Rob Ellis, public information officer for Upper Darby Township, announced that an award-winning television series will begin production in Drexel Hill on Thursday, July 9, with filming scheduled through July 11 and resuming July 16.

"Production will begin Thursday, July 9, and go through July 11. It's gonna pick back up again on July 16," Ellis said, naming Woodland Avenue between Highland and Edmonds as the filming location. He warned residents to expect parking restrictions and street closures during those dates.

Ellis directed residents to the township's online notice for full details, saying, "We break it all down for you on our website...has all the information that you need, what you need to know." The transcript recorded the address as "www.upperderby.org/productions." The township's official spelling is Upper Darby; the correct web address for notices is www.upperdarby.org/productions (transcript rendered the domain verbatim with a likely misspelling).

The announcement did not name the production company or series, did not specify daily start or end times for filming, nor did it list exact parking restriction boundaries or enforcement mechanisms. Ellis said the website contains the details but did not read them during the short notice.

The township asked residents to consult the online notice before the July 9 start date for updates on street closures and parking restrictions. Ellis closed the announcement with lighthearted remarks about participating in the production.

The township has not reported formal permit details, enforcement plans, or an updated schedule beyond the dates Ellis gave during this statement. Residents with immediate questions were directed to the township's public information office.
