REPORT-1a -Generator Disturbance/ Notes, Sophie B.
Jul 11 !"1#
1-$ inter%ie&e' Sophie B. in (ront o( her ho)e &here
The Po&er Generator Truc* &as positione'. + report,
The morning after Thursdays Shoot. Where: In front of Sophie B.'s home on Milton
Street. Demeanor: Sophie talks to me with contained anger regarding the diesel
generator that was parked and running on her sidewalk in front of her home during
Thursdays flm shoot. Sophie is in her 70s and has lived on Milton Street since the late
1950's.These are my notes of what she said and what she asked:
Sophie B. "...I paid $3000. to replace my sidewalk less than three months ago, I had to
pay extra because its a Landmark street. The city fnes me if my sidewalk is broken but I
have to pay, not the city to fx it! Why was this truck's Back end (lift-gate) going up and
down on it all day? How do I know it's not cracked under there now? I was up until 11:00
last night washing the grease that came of that truck, why was there grease? During the
day the noise drove me in, why should I have to go in? Why cant I sit on my porch? The
generator was on all day vibrating my house. I had such a bad headache! I couldn't
stand the fumes they gave me a headache. The fumes came in even though all my
windows and doors were closed...
