I have an office in downtown Oakland, CA and I saw them filming the Bell
Atlantic ad approximately three months ago. I was disappointed when the
guy told me the ad would only be shown on the east coast. I was
especially interested in the car because it was white and black (just
like mine).
Just a little information for you.
