That is a class move. These studios/directors/actors go into a city or town for filming and everything is strictly business. The streets are closed, areas are roped off and filming takes place because the studios have paid for it. There is really no need for a thank you such as this. It's nice to see that the thank you and appreciation is extended anyway.

@er101- The Avengers are fictional characters they can't do this.
The actors who play them and Joss Whedon can.

@Backup

I think our Sports teams (you know having the Football team with the single most won Super bowls of all time.) Have done that for us nicely.

So yeah.

Anywho very classy move. :) I'm glad they were here filming. I always said Pittsburgh was Gotham. Now it really is.

I agree with the comment "For what He should be the one thanked, He put that little town on the map." This production probably brought a fair share of jobs to the filmmaking community in Pittsburgh.

However, it must have been one hell of an inconvenience to the small business and truck drivers within the city.

@Moviemaster: Avengers gots leaks too. Call me loco but it's prolly just part of filming in public I guess.
