Five of the six can be seen from the street: the library, the Plaza, the Sixth Avenue tower and the synagogue are public, and the Toronto studio is a working broadcaster that is seen from Highway 401. The Apthorp is a block of private homes and is not pinned. Most scene ties here come from a fan location list, so treat them as leads.
