Can someone who lives or used to live in NYC tell me what part of NYC it is when the moving Truck turns the corner and you see a tall building in the beginning of the season 1 opening credits. The truck turns the corner at the 7 or 8 second mark. thanks

Someone else asked about "The Jeffersons" NYC spots a while back. (I think it was catlover79). I tried digging but I had no luck.

The only spot I know for sure was the building at the end that acted as their residence, with George and Louise heading towards the lobby.

The last time I tried digging I took a screen-cap of the opening clip because you can see the street sign. The clip is so grainy that I could not see it at all when I tried to zoom in using computer aps.

I'm talking about the TALL building on the corner when the TRUCK turns the corner at the 8 second mark on the video.

The address you gave me is for the Jeffersons apt building which I already have. I'm talking about the building at the 8 second mark

Sol, I gotta research that. That looks very familar. Somewhere past the midtown section. It's gotta be the east side section. Brian, what about you? What's your take?

Brian Damage · 08-08-2011, 12:53 AM

I am not 100% but it looks like Park ave in the 70's

ThomasE · 08-08-2011, 01:15 AM

OK, Brian. Thanks. I need to get in my car and drive along the east side. LOL.

TVFactFan · 08-08-2011, 08:27 PM

Someone said on another board it looks like 72nd ave but wasn;t sure.
