Hampden became the latest Baltimore backdrop for House of Cards this week, as the Netflix show rode into the North Baltimore neighborhood for a shoot.
The arrival of the faux-presidential motorcade to the Avenue lead to the cancellation of game night at Atomic Books on Tuesday, but local Underwood fans didn’t seem to mind.
Apparently, Texas is involved in the plot:

And, yes, there were sightings. Fox45 reporter Adam Yosim was happy to see a flack for perhaps the first time ever as he ran into Seth Grayson/Derek Cecil, and Claire Underwood/Robin Wright Penn was also onscene. And yes, Kevin Spa…sorry, Kev Dawg, was also there.

I know why they wanted it to be Texas. A location scout was at a friend’s house a few weeks ago and told me all about it. I will not leak one story bit.
