Actually, the movie wan't filmed in Punxs'y; they found some town in
Ohio which they decided looked more like Punxsutawney than the real
place (or, more likely, where there was a tax or labor deal which
worked better).  However, the PR people, including Bill Murray, worked
over Punxs'y pretty well to prevent resentment (he road in the next
Groundhog Day parade, left signatures all over town, and so forth),
and they did a good job - people there don't seem to mind seeing a
faux Pantall Hotel, Ruth and Harry's Coffee Shop, etc.

I don't know what Bill Murray is doing these days, though.

Regards,
Tim, venturing off his bed following apparently highly successful back
surgery; recuperation being sped by fondling his newly acquired IIIc!
Now trying to learn all he can about bargain normal LSM lenses.
