Film's stop in Woonsocket changes RIPTA routes

In other Hollywood-comes-to-Rhode Island news, some RIPTA bus riders should expect relocated routes beginning tomorrow for a movie shooting in the area.

In Woonsocket, Route 54 -- Lincoln/Woonsocket -- and Route 87 -- Fairmount/Walunt Hill -- will be detoured because of filming.

The bus stop has been moved from Main and High streets in Woonsocket to the top of Railroad Street near the parking lot. The stop relocation and detour will begin with the first trip tomorrow and remain that way for about two weeks.

Richard Gere's movie, Hachiko: A Dog's Story, which has been filming at various locations in Rhode Island, is now apparently ready to shoot in Woonsocket.
