it is the hub for tech manufacturing. it's where apple made its first mac commuters and where tesla has its main factory. but as some film buffs might tell you, it's known for something else. several silent movies were al filmed in fremont in the early 1900s, including five charlie chaplain films. remember "the tramp?" yep, filmed in fremont. chaplain didn't live in the area long. history says he didn't like it but he left his mark. the city has a museum dedicated to the history of silent films and an annual charlie chaplain celebration. a cool claim to fame, even now in modern times. >> so cool. we'll be holding a live town hall this evening talking to fremont leaders about the issues that the city is facing. it includes housing, job creation and diversity. we'll be streaming the town hall on our website, abc7news.com as well as facebook and youtube. that starts at 5:00 this evening. get ready to see more bicycles around san francisco. today transit leaders will
