Filming is happening again today on “Dry Run,” the movie featuring Mark Ruffalo that caused a stir in Hamilton’s Park Avenue in the city’s Highland Park neighborhood on Tuesday when Ruffalo was on site shooting scenes.

In the downtown, signs were added to turn Hamilton into somewhere else — Parkersburg, West Virginia — with one sign announcing a structure was the “Wood County Judicial Building.”
