PROVIDENCE -- Part of downtown Providence is closed today as Disney continues to film its movie ``Underdog.'' The city has closed off Westminster Street, between Dorrance Street and Memorial Boulevard along the river from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. today. No cars can get through, and pedestrians will have limited access. Filming on the live-action remake of the 1960s' cartoon continues tomorrow and through next week with more street closures. -- With reports from projo.com staff and the Associated Press City and state officials have welcomed ``Underdog'' with open arms. Steven Feinberg, director of the Rhode Island Film and Television Office, says the multimillion-dollar movie provides 300 jobs and is the most expensive production ever to film in New England.

I think it's only fitting that Disney shoot a movie in Providence, R.I., which is considered to be Adventure Land by many who live out of State and Fantasy Land by many who live in the State.
