Snow-Covered streets in Dorchester? Here's what's going on
October 14, 2018
BOSTON (WHDH) - If you're a resident of Boston's Dorchester neighborhood, you may have noticed snow-covered streets and sidewalks on Friday.
Don't fret, winter has not yet arrived. The small snowbanks near Pleasant Street and Sawyer Avenue are artificial and the product of a Mark Wahlberg movie production.
Wahlberg, a native of Dorchester, is in town filming "Wonderland." Musician Post Malone is reportedly among those who will appear in the upcoming Netflix movie.
The film is being adapted from the Ace Atkins' novel "Robert B. Parker's Wonderland," according to Variety.
