Hopelessly devoted to John Travolta by JOE NAWROZKI [ from
The Baltimore Sun ]
All week long, young and old, they've come to Middle River to pay homage to Vinnie Barbarino of television's Sweathogs fame.
Or Danny Zuko from the movie Grease. But mostly it was, in the collective mind's eye of the fans who lined up daily by the hundreds on Old Eastern Avenue, the swaggering dancing machine Tony Manero in Saturday Night Fever.
John Travolta is at the creaky but venerable Commodore bar and meeting hall this week filming Ladder 49, a tale of Baltimore firefighters, their triumphs and their foibles. The film shoot on Baltimore County's east side winds up today.
