Episode of Hoarders Being Filmed in Lower HaightA&E
It looks like an episode of the A&E television show Hoarders is being filmed in a house on Fillmore Street this weekend.

Tipster Allison Y. spotted the crew filming yesterday at a large peach-colored Victorian on Fillmore Street just off of Page. She writes:
"I spied Dr. Robin Zasio (one of the therapists) in a van, but did not see my favorite Got Junk dude, just a bunch of Got Junk workers on lunch. Is it wrong to be excited about the hood being featured on a show about people who don't throw their garbage away?"
No, not wrong at all. One of the show's experts, Dorothy Breininger, seems to have confirmed the filming via tweet Friday:
"In Golden Gate City getting set up for a new ‪#Hoarders‬ film shoot - just luv ‪#SanFran‬!!"
In case you're unfamiliar, Hoarders is a show profiling people with compulsive hoarding tendencies. According to its website, the show "not only captures the drama as experts work to put each hoarder on the road to recovery but also highlights the individual's inner challenges and triumphs." No word on when the Lower Haight episode might air, but we'll keep an eye out.
