East Side, West Side, Alec Baldwin Was All Around the Town

Savvy Patch readers spot the famed actor all over the place, and his visit sounds like it did have to do with family.

As usual, the Patch commenters and Facebook friends responded to our questions and had far more to report on Alec Baldwin's recent visit.

From the various reported celebrity sightings, the actor was all over the place, from Sounds Like Music and Geneva Running Outfitters to the Blue Goose and Wok 'N Fire.

Yes, the very man who plays Santa Claus in Rise of the Guardians was ho-ho-ho-ing around the Tri-Cities for the Thanksgiving holiday. And at the same time our family was watching Rock of Ages "On Demand," the actor who played legendary rock club owner Dennis Dupree might have been damanding the fine ice cream at Kimmer's.

  • Scott Piner — Blue goose and arcedium
  • Carrie — He was at sounds like music i was shopping there and saw him downtown geneva
  • Storm Nielsen — I bet he was in town to do research on a Jeff Ward Biopic. Alec would portray editor Rick Nagel while Steve Buscemi would be Jeff. Ya think?
  • Rick Anderson — Alec Baldwin would be a better Jeff Ward....Gilbert Godfried could be Rick Nagel.
  • BeachBall22 — His niece lives in St. Charles.
