New Edition show on BET used William Mead projects for Boston projects

I was watching the New Edition movie on BET and they shot the early scenes of the groups in Boston in the William Mead housing projects. It was interesting to see a black production to shoot in a predominately Latino housing projects, but there is no doubt they are in the William Meed, home of Dog Town.

Orchard Park Projects in Boston are what the William Mead Projects suppose to be representing.

I watched that movie myself and never even realized those weren't the real projects New Edition grew up in.Of course I've never been to Bean-Town so I couldn't tell..
