The scene Thursday at Memorial Wharf was a mix of business as usual for a post-Labor day Thursday on the Vineyard, Hollywood, and time travel as filming took place for a new movie about late Sen. Edward Kennedy and the 1969 car crash on Chappaquiddick that killed young campaign staffer Mary Jo Kopechne.
