NEWLIN: A farm lane created for a movie

Autumn is the time when the farm lane at the intersection of Scott and Powell Roads in Newlin Township really stands out. The lane was created for the 2008 movie "The Happening" because director M. Night Shyamalan, shooting on location in Unionville, wanted the intersection to be a complete crossroads, so he had to add another road. The lane goes only as far as the crest of the hill, when it would disappear from the camera's field of view.
Speaking of Newlin Township and earth-moving projects, this morning I saw township supervisor Rob Pearson at the Unionville roundabout, driving a giant flatbed truck. He always looks so happy when he's at the helm of one of his company's pieces of heavy equipment.
 

A film director took matters into his own hands to make this a crossroads.
