That's because, according to the Connecticut Post, a TV movie “Love in the Newsroom” is being filmed at the site. It stars Dean Cain of “Lois & Clark” fame, Westport resident Melissa Joan Hart, known for her role as "Sabrina the Teenage Witch," and Jackee Harry, who was involved in sitcoms like “227” and “Sister, Sister."

Scenes were also filmed in Stamford and Fairfield, according to the article.

In Bridgeport, the areas used for scenes — which were draped in fake snow — included the brick building at the corner of State and Main streets, the Main Street entrance to McLevy Green, and the Arcade Mall, according to the Connecticut Post.
