1979 / SCREEN & CITY
Sutton Square to Queensboro Bridge: follow the documented places connected to Manhattan.
The dawn bench composition faces the Queensboro Bridge; the production bench itself was temporary. From there, American Museum of Natural History changes the rhythm before Queensboro Bridge supplies the final afterimage; doubles, altered sites and public access are labelled at the point they matter.
Locations are sequenced as a fan journey, not a plot recap. Songs, scenes and episodes lead the route; changed, private and doubled sites are labelled rather than smoothed into fiction.
5 public-place or area references. Private properties and unlocated historic sites stay off the map.
