Abrams’ Ghostwriter in Providence ended on Aug. 24 after a 21-hour shoot on the Point Street Bridge—actor Glen Powell was the only local star and the production also filmed overseas.

ENVIRONMENT NEWS

- ➤ Late August shows Rhode Island beach waters in the high 60s to low 70s—a warming jump from the low 60s recorded in June. Experts say the ocean heats slowly after the air warms, so swimmers can expect the sea to peak later in the summer. The Providence Journal
