In one of those weird moments of Internet telepathy (surely moved by the recent
free stream on YouTube), we've recently come across two outlets' tours of New York based on the locations that appeared in
Ghostbusters. Scouting NY, in an epic
two parter, juxtaposes shots from
the movie and pictures of the corresponding locations in their
current state.
Meanwhile, Ironic Sans took the Google Maps approach back in 2006, creating a helpful interactive map of the city with locations labeled differently based on their appearance in either the first or second Ghostbusters film. So, for instance, did you know that in GB2, Ray's Occult Books (pictured) was at 33 St. Marks' Place in the space now occupied by Rockit Scientist Records?
