The historic Marine General Store in Marine on St. Croix was closed Wednesday morning to make room for a film production company to shoot scenes for a forthcoming film.
The movie stars the actor Joe Keery, who plays the character Steve Harrington on the Netflix series “Stranger Things.”
Keery has been shooting scenes for the film at locations in Minnesota over the past week, including.
Production of the film, “Marmalade,” has drawn crowds of sometimes hundreds to places like Mankato and Jordan, where they were filming on Monday.
Wednesday’s shoot in Marine did not appear to be as big a draw.
Many who were on hand were trying to pick up a few groceries and had been unaware that the General Store would be closed until noon. As the morning went on there was a growing crowd of die hard fans, many with photos of Keery, hoping to score an autograph.
This will not be the first time the General Store has appeared on film. Movies like “Grumpier old Men” and “Beautiful Girls” have used the store as a backdrop.
By the time Keery appeared, who has become a favorite among fans of “Stranger Things,” the crowd had swelled to nearly 50.
