Did I ever tell you my RoboCop Story? (Please. No. Not again.)

Michael Miner, one of the co-screenwriters for RoboCop, comes from the same area of Southwestern Pennsylvania that I do.  In fact, we have a mutual friend.

So one night I pop RoboCop into the VCR to see it for the first time, and imagine my surprise when I find out that Peter Weller plays policeman Alex J. Murphy since my name happens to be Alex J. Tamsula. 

It gets even better.  Across the railroad tracks near my apartment is the site of the old Union Switch and Signal factory. They shot the factory scenes in the movie there before the place was torn down. It's now a shopping plaza.

What can I say?  Stay out of trouble.
