Yes, more evidence that we can find the location that we first see them based on the likelihood that it is around one of the locations we already know. I also want to find the interior loft location. I do not believe it is the same building we see them enter/exit. I believe from the way the pipes run thru the building that the building is triangular in shape not square or rectangular and the design of the building next door seen thru the windows does not match up but more on that later. I too thought it was cool to find that the two scenes were filmed at the same intersection.

 

 

Yes i would think as you confirm the arrival was also shot on Madison Avenue around East 56th St - as it is tree lined but we see little in the terms of b/g buildings etc  :fireworks:

Not much but there are some unique features like a door they may still exist that can help.

It was very cool to track this location down. Something about it, maybe the challenge, made me really want to track it down. While there I really could place myself in the scene, wanted to build a shack and some campfires, then I would just need to buy a couple old military vehicles. I was so glad nobody had cut that special tree down.

 

I can follow you in that, definitely. It must have felt like traveling a "time tunnel". A miracle that the tree (s) are still in their place and that the paths still follow their original course - after 24 years!!!This is really a nice piece of investigation work, detective :-)

Yes it is also a very nice location. I plan to return to NYC in the fall when it cools down and will stop at this location again on the way to enjoy it. Perhaps even have a picnic at the lake. Well worth the extra hour of driving.

For those of you that see me on facebook you know while this site was down I went to NYC. I took hundreds of pictures and most of them Prodigal Son locations. I tracked down several previously unknown and or unvisited locations on my trip with my family. I will update my site in detail as soon as I get a chance but until I do here is a small taste.

Just published updated pages 1 and 2 of Prodigal Son. I took page 1 and cut it in half and added numerous new pictures from my most recent NY trip. Due to the great length the page would have been I divided old page 1 in two and created two pages so they would not take too long to load for people with slower internet or computers. I will continue to update the rest of the pages soon and let you know when they are published. Cheers.

Charlie, got a chance to look at these new Prodigal Son pages.  Very nice work, I'll bet you and your family had a good time there.

Yes, great time. I still have more to update and I am working on it now.

Just have to find the get out of taxi scene where we first see C&T that would be great - excellent work!!

FOUND!!!

Madison Ave @ E 57th St. All matches up perfectly. Two directions of traffic, same sign on building at start of shot, light post, distances, doors, angle of building and design on sidewalk + more. Confirmed. I will go in a few weeks and get pictures.

What great work you've done!  Your location site inspired me and helped me to find the building/street Tubbs is waiting near and on in the teaser of Prodigal Son.  It was a huge dream come true for me.  

And I had breakfast at the Square Diner, which thanks to your research, I have just learned was used in the episode.  That is so great!

 

Thanks for all your work.
