John Travolta films in downtown Ocean Springs for his new action movie ‘Cash Out 3'
Downtown Ocean Springs became a movie set Tuesday and those who were nearby got to see John Travolta and the cast of the movie 'Cash Out 3' wandering the familiar sidewalks under the oak trees.
Travolta is back in South Mississippi starring in the third 'Cash Out' action-adventure movie.
The cast and crew will be in South Mississippi for another two weeks, filming at locations across the Coast.
People reported on Facebook seeing the crew filming at a golf course in Gulfport. Travolta posed for a photo while having dinner at The Rack House Steaks & Spirits in downtown Gulfport. Someone on Facebook said he had the crab cake special and a filet.
Part of Washington Avenue in Ocean Springs was closed Tuesday morning and Travolta, wearing jeans and a black shirt and hat, was filmed walking with another cast member along the sidewalk from about Moxie Boutique to The Lady May restaurant.
It was difficult to tell what was part of the production and which parked cars and people were there as they would be on any other Tuesday.
Those hired as extras were dressed as tourists, carrying shopping bags and wearing big hats. They were directed to pass near Travolta as he walked along the street.
At times, Travolta — famous for his roles in 'Grease,' 'Saturday Night Fever,' and many other blockbuster movies — stopped to take selfies with some of the background actors along the street.
A dozen curious onlookers, gathered to watch near Kilwins, could hear the production staff give directions to the actors and they could see all the computer screens and electronics set up under the cover of an awning at the antique store.
The street was barricaded at Government and Porter, but was still accessible for customers at businesses in the closed area.
Filming also took place Tuesday near The Roost Boutique Hotel on Porter Avenue.

The Blockbuster Film That Finally Gave This 1970s Icon a Chart-Topping Hit
The Blockbuster Film That Finally Gave This 1970s Icon a Chart-Topping Hit originally appeared on Parade. After rising to fame in both television and film, this 1970s icon finally scored a chart-topping hit. This breakout single soared to No. 1 two years after their debut track first made waves in 1976. John Travolta, who rose to fame as Vinny Barbarino on ABC's Welcome Back, Kotter, was on the brink of superstardom by the mid-1970s. His status as a leading man was cemented with a starring role in the feature film Saturday Night Fever. However, Travolta didn't realize the impact Saturday Night Fever would have on his career when he wrapped that film and headed directly into pre-production for Grease. It was Grease that catapulted the New Jersey native into the stratosphere, and the soundtrack gave him his first number one hit on the Billboard charts in 1978. On June 10, 1978, John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John hit No. 1 on the U.S. singles chart with 'You're the One That I Want.' The smash duet was one of two songs, along with 'Hopelessly Devoted to You,' written by Australian producer and musician John Farrar specifically for Newton-John's role in the film. The track's success helped turn the movie's soundtrack into a cultural phenomenon.

Grease became the highest-grossing musical at the time, and its soundtrack was a massive hit, further boosting Travolta's profile. Grease set the stage for further success in Travolta's career, leading to roles in films like Urban Cowboy and Blow Out. Previously, the actor hit the music charts in 1976 with a remake of the Gary Benson song "Let Her In." It peaked at No. 10 on the Billboard charts in July 1976.

No unaccompanied minors, only clear bags at Naperville's Last Fling this year
No unaccompanied minors will be allowed at Naperville's Last Fling this year, per new security measures announced by organizers on social media. Put on by the Naperville Jaycees, the annual Labor Day celebration is scheduled for Aug. 29-Sept. 1. With less than three months to go, the nonprofit social service club announced in a Facebook post that the event will have more safety requirements than in previous years, some of which are being dictated by the city. Among them is a provision that attendees under the age of 18 be accompanied by someone over the age of 25. One guardian will be able to supervise up to five minors. They have also instituted a clear bag policy, meaning only see-through and small clutch bags will be permitted. Bag storage will not be available and anyone with unapproved items will be turned away, organizers say. Further, all patrons will be subject to metal detector screenings. The announcement of the additional measures come days after organizers of the city's annual India Day Festival & Concert said they would be scaling back festivities this year amid rising costs from city-mandated security requirements. Bolstering safety measures at the Last Fling will impact the Jaycees 'significantly,' said Karen Coleman, the event's public relations and marketing chair. But the additional measures are also necessary for putting on the safest event possible, she said. 'We just need everyone to understand how important safety is to us,' she said. 'We would be devastated if something untoward happened at our event.' Asked about the financial impact of the added measures, Coleman said they were still figuring out the total cost but estimated it will be 'in the tens of thousands of dollars.' The new requirement for minor supervision was born out of crowd control issues related to minors in past years, Coleman said. As was the case previously, Last Fling will again be surrounded by fencing with gated entrances, Coleman said. The event's current location is along Jackson Avenue from Ewing Street to Main Street. However, the layout of the grounds may be altered next year, she said. 'The city of Naperville wants us to change the footprint of the event,' she said. Last Fling could move away from Jackson Avenue and take place at the Naperville Riverwalk's Rotary Hill instead. At this point, it's a possibility but 'not a done deal,' City Clerk Dawn Portner said. Like it does with every event in town, the city's special events team will evaluate the lessons learned from this year's Last Fling once it's over to determine if any changes need to be made for future events, Portner said. 'I think (one) of the issues that we're concerned with is compression,' she said. '(Last Fling) is a great event. It's a well-attended event, and we want to make sure that everyone who goes is safe. And if there is an incident that happens, that police can get in there (and) the fire department can get in there. … That's the way we look at it. 'Does it need a bigger location? Does it need a new location? Will (that) help if we do have compression issues? And if we have anything that we need to be concerned with, can we do it better? Is there a reason to do it better?' In an interview last week, Naperville Police Chief Jason Arres said additional security requirements at large-scale events in town are 'something we've been really pushing towards for the past few years and are finally getting traction (on).' 'Outdoor events are big, big targets for those looking to do bad things,' Arres said, 'and they're increasingly vulnerable to mass violence. … (These recommendations) keep these events safe and can actually deter threats before they occur.' Coleman said this year's Last Fling will still be the staple Labor Day celebration that attendees know and love — just safer. 'We're not trying to ruin anyone's great time or change the perspective of this awesome, end-of-summer event,' she said. 'We're super excited for the Fling this year.'

Myles Garrett hints Steelers' Aaron Rodgers is next for his QB graveyard
Myles Garrett hints Steelers' Aaron Rodgers is next for his QB graveyard The AFC North is as dangerous as advertised — and new Steelers QB Aaron Rodgers is finding that out the hard way, courtesy of Browns star Myles Garrett. Rodgers set the NFL world ablaze when he made his decision to sign with Pittsburgh, and Garrett is looking forward to their eventual meeting — for all the sack-related reasons. At mandatory minicamp, the Browns' 2023 Defensive Player of the Year made his intentions for Rodgers crystal clear: 'I think it's a good opportunity to put [Rodgers] in the graveyard.' Garrett is referencing his infamous quarterback graveyard, a Halloween tradition for the Browns defender, featuring tombstones of every signal-caller he's sacked throughout his career — including legendary Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger. His chilling warning to Rodgers should serve as motivation for the Steelers' offensive line to keep their quarterback protected — and they'll get their first chance to stop Garrett when the Browns visit Pittsburgh in Week 6 on October 12.
