You should be able to mark all the points, then save them collectively in a KMZ file that you can post here for everybody. That would be cool!

Special request: Where would the hole in Central Park be in Nightworld? Can we pinpoint that to an exact location?

I believe it was in the Sheep Meadow, down near the southern end of the park.

Is just a few hundred yards inside the park from Central Park West. From there, you can easily see the building Sigorney Weaver's Ghost Busters character lived in (and The Dakota, Rosemary's Baby and where John Lennon lived when he was murdered). Strawberry Fields adjoins it.

Back in 1973, I was tossing a frisbee there with some dude who turned out to be Paul Simon.

Is the Sheep Meadow the region where Robin Williams and Jeff Bridges lay and stared at the sky in The Fisher King?

Also one of the places where Special Agent Pendergast lives (Preston/Child). Smile

Forgive me if I'm wrong, but I thought the building in Ghostbusters was really the building on the shore of Philadelphia's border with New Jersey...........near the Tweeter center. We visited the area a couple years ago, did the tour of the Battleship New Jersey and during the tour, the guide pointed out the building in question. Once you see it...there is no question IMO. I have a picture of it, sadly it's not a digital

Don't suppose you took a picture? I guess in the 70's everyone was stoned and just threw frisbee's to strangers everyday. Groovy!Wink

Some places Jack visited during "Harbingers."

Enjoy.

Maggers, Thanks for the photos! FPW does a great job with describing places, but a pic is worth a thousand words!Thanks again!

On a side note, on pic 17 you wrote "Jack crosses and wonders what would have happened if the overpass in Jersey had a fence" .
I blew through"Harbingers" so fast that I didn't catch that. But in "The Tomb" I remember there being a fence with a section that came loose enough to slip a cinder block through. Are we talking about the same thing? Is that the overpass in Jersey?

Yup. The overpass incident that started it all. My recollection of Jack's thoughts in "Harbingers" is just what I wrote in the caption. I thought the Jersey overpass either was not very tall or non-existent. I have to go back and read "The Tomb" for 3rd or 4th time.

Reading is freedom.
The mind soars, no earthly cares,

Well, for years I was smart.
I recommend pleasant.
