A new Baltimore pink flamingo bar will be tropical-themed with a rum-based cocktail menu — yes, please! 💕
300 W 30th St, Baltimore, MD 21211
Thanks for the tip, Scott!

The Pink Flamingo bar in Re*****on was partially inspired by cult filmmaker John Waters, but don't expect too many parallels to his films.

The long stretch of road in Cry-Baby where the Drapes are singing to Allison as she returns to the Charm School was filmed on Park Heights Ave in Owings Mills, MD! The barn in the background helped in finding this location even though the trees have since hidden it from street view.

Now it’s officially official! Although JW added, “I’m thrilled that she’s going to [star in it], but we don’t have the money yet.”

After previously not confirming it, John Waters has found his leading lady in Aubrey Plaza for his coming movie “Liarmouth: A Feel-Bad Romance.” He intends to film the movie in Baltimore.

John Waters was the guest of Ben Goodman’s “What’s Your Niche?” radio program, in which the host asks people what sets them apart and what they like to do.

Will John Waters’ new movie star Aubrey Plaza? And will filmmaking begin this summer in Baltimore? If you don’t know, shut your “Liarmouth.”

28/02/2024

Word spread quickly yesterday that Aubrey Plaza had been confirmed for the lead in John Waters’ Liarmouth. I think everyone agrees she looks exactly like the woman on the cover and she acknowledges she will do anything for the part. However, it seems it’s simply NOT TRUE…for now.
Nothing is signed and there’s no budget yet.
