is that not the empire state on the left? -- nm - Danedukenuuk Jul 29, 11:06 1
- It is. -- nm - Krusty Jul 29, 11:18
That is Manhattan. Looks like the set is near me here in Long Island City. -- nm - Krusty Jul 29, 10:52 11
- You can see a number of buildings like the Empire State building on the left, the U.N. in the middle and the tall black one is the newer Trump - Krusty Jul 29, 10:53 10
  - From this blog it's Brooklyn. Must be somewhere in Greenpoint since it's so close to me. -- (link) - Krusty Jul 29, 10:58 1
    - Yup, Greenpoint. I wish I knew, I would have walked over to see if I could get some pics. Damn. -- (link) - Krusty Jul 29, 11:00
  - What's the sound stages near there, Stienway Studios? -- nm - znufrii Jul 29, 10:56 5
    - I used to live literally a couple of blocks away. It's a booming neighborhood now. -- nm - loosilu Jul 29, 11:09 2
      - Yup. I may be forced to move and I don't think I can afford the rent here anymore. Over $2k for a 2 bedroom. Insane prices. -- nm - Krusty Jul 29, 11:15 1
        
        we were paying $1300 for a two bedroom. -- nm - loosilu Jul 29, 11:17
    - Yup. And they're building a new studio near the East River. Lot's of filming planned for Queens. -- nm - Krusty Jul 29, 10:58 1
      - Lots not lot's. Ugh. -- nm - Krusty Jul 29, 10:59
  - Pfft. Couldn't get a better view, 'eh? -- nm - Mop (221 lbs) Jul 29, 10:55 1
    - It was better before a bunch of highrise buildings went up near the East River. I can only see the top of the Empire State Building - Krusty Jul 29, 11:01
Sure looks like NYC. That's almost certainly the UN building across the water. -- nm - Mop (221 lbs) Jul 29, 10:50 1
- The show is set in 1920's Atlantic City, so I figured it had to be that or Hollywood. -- nm - not2fast Jul 29, 10:52
AC -- nm - Beaker Jul 29, 10:48 1
- or at least that is what the show is suppossed to be about -- nm - Beaker Jul 29, 10:51
