Guess you had to be there. Doc Hollywood was filmed in 1990 not 1991. And, hey that is my display on my family's connection with Hollywood, in my shop window (Micanopy Canopy Connection, Inc.). How cool is that? There is me and Michael J. Fox holding my grandson Corey. Corey was six months old at the time and he was born April 17th, 1990 so do the math - filming started in October of 1990. I could tell you more but I think I am going to write a book. :)

Why would you write a book, Bonnie? No one cares.
