This mash up of Seinfeld NYC locations is interesting,

<http://www.stolasgeospatial.com/seinfeld.htm>

but does anyone know the location of the pier, where Jerry
and George ponder their romantic lives, then run off shooing off
away a flock of birds? It doesn't look like a West Coast location.

Since the series was filmed in LA I think it has to be a west coast pier
masquerading as an east coast one.


I found the "geography page" too superficial, not Seinfeld-Trivia-worthy
So many more interesting locations they could add..

JFK airport
The Van Wyck
Central Park baseball diamond
Brentano Bookstore
PO restaurant
Park Plaza Hotel
Friar's Club
Bleeker Bob's
and on and on...

The nexus of the Universe 1st Ave and 1st St. is incorrect on the map
and that should be a slam-dunk

His trivia question:
"Who visited Jerry from Lansing Michigan?" - He means Laura, who Jerry
met when he was doing a show in Lansing but we don't know if that is
where she "came from". We know she taught Political Science so maybe she
taught at Michigan State-Lansing but there is no evidence of that.

Maybe they kicked everybody off the Santa Monica pier and filmed
early in the morning.

Here's Sony's take, not much better:

Yep, we could do a lot better.

What I'd like to know is, did they use the same clip of the other
lovers/couples/parents with kids in both clips? It looked like it to me.
