Mud Puddle Toys or Red Arrow Diner?
Marblehead's Mud Puddle Toys has been transformed into the Red Arrow Diner for Grown Ups 2.
Adam Sandler has turned Mud Puddle Toys on Pleasant Street into one of his favorite hangouts - Manchester New Hampshire's Red Arrow Diner.
A small crowd of local residents gathered outside the toy store Friday afternoon to get a closer look at the next set location for the star-packed Columbia Pictures movie Grown Ups 2.
The plan, according to Location Manager Mark Fitzgerald, is to shoot an exterior scene at Mud Puddle Toys on Tuesday and then an interior at a nearby business that is being turned into a diner sometime on Wednesday.
From Monday June 11 to Wednesday June 13, parts of Washington Street may be closed down while the Old Town House is turned into an aerobics studio for a scene with Salma Hayek and the shopping scene is filmed.

based on the traffic and inconvenience today, methinks the location manager is living on borrowed time. but wait, 85% of the crew are locals....lol
