UPDATE: Cloverdale ‘Flash’ episode airs

TV series 'Flash' transported 176th Street back to 1998

Back in December, the TV series Flash was being filmed in Cloverdale.

Down 176th, the street was transformed with old cars and signage to make it look like a street from the late ’90s.

Production crews were shooting scenes for season 7, which started airing Feb. 23, 2021 on The CW network in the U.S.

Season 7 has also slowly started airing on Netflix (only seven episodes are up so far) and among them is episode 6. Titled “The One with the Nineties,” the episode features a time warp plot where the main characters jump back to 1998.

In the episode the Clova was changed into a Blockbuster video store.

Paul Orazietti, the Cloverdale BIA’s executive director, even got caught in the background during one of the scenes shot in Hawthorne Square (see Tweet below).
