Post subject:  Tracks in Nike commercial

In the Nike commercial where a downpour brings out a herd of joggers, some of the overhead shots shows some tracks imbedded in the street. Does anyone know where this commercial was filmed and/or anything about those tracks?

I know a lot of commercial work is done in Vancouver and Toronto Canada and when you see a average city scene in a commercial that has street trackage, it is very often Canada. They have some very similar architecture and a growing film industry.

It was filmed in Philadelphia, Pa. Not sure of the exact location, I believe it was around center city though. My girlfriend is in it, and the rain was fake, took them about 6 hours to do it. Most likely the tracks are old trolley car lines that Septa (South Eastern Pa. Transit Auth.) does/doesn't use. I haven't even seen the commercial myself. Hope this helps. If you want, I can get you the exact locale...
