Camera Shot of Hydro-Pruf Building From Soprano's Opening Theme

By: tuttleberry.
Shot of the Hydro Pruf building from the Soprano's opening theme. The building is located just south of Exit 15E on the NJ Turnpike. This shot appears at the 0:36 mark of the song.
In fact, the actual shot from the show is taken from highway lane farther away from the building, but I thought I'd give the viewer here a closer and sharper shot of the building.

Giant beer bottle
kjfitz (VirtualGlobetrotting)
By: kjfitz.
From RoadsideAmerica.com:
I am a long-time resident of the area, and can trace the bottle's history. It started out as a functioning water tank for Hoffman Beverages (soft drinks - they used to make a decent ginger ale), a long-gone NJ company. Hoffman sold the property to the Pabst Brewing Company, which erected an immense stockhouse/brewery on the site (1960s). Beer companies have been merged, beer sales have been flat (pardon me, I'm really sorry for that one) and this complex is, I believe, inactive. [Mark Heter, 04/05/2001]

Rising Tripod Camera Angle from "War of the Worlds"
tuttleberry (VirtualGlobetrotting)
By: tuttleberry.
This streetview is what the cameras in the movie were shooting when the tripod rose up from the corner of Ferry and Merchant, where St. Stephan's United Church is located. This area, where the crowd in the movie is standing, is known as the Portuguese Ironbound District.
To give you an idea of how tall the tripod was supposed to be, it appears by naked eye that the tripod was about twice as high as the top of the steeple of the church. The height of the steeple, by naked eye, appears to be about 9 stories high. So, the tripod was probably supposed to be in the range of 16-20 stories tall.
If you watch the footage of the tripod rise and attack, you will see some of the storefronts that appear here in the Portuguese Ironbound District.

Shot through tree branches of Cathedral Basilica of the Sacred Heart, from the Soprano's opening theme. The actual shot during the theme was taken from a moving vehicle on I-280 and shot through the trees bordering the highway, just like shown here. In fact, the shot shown here is extremely close to the actual location of the filming vehicle. This shot appears at the 1:02 mark of the song.

Camera Shot of NJ Turnpike from Pulaski Skyway - Soprano's Opening Theme
Shot of the NJ Turnpike just south of where the Turnpike crosses the Passaic River as shot from a southbound lane of the nearby Pulaski Skyway, from the Soprano's opening theme. This shot appears at the 0:54 mark of the song.
The shot in the actual theme sequence is zoomed closer, and also filmed from a vehicle that did not have clearance above the railing of Pulaski roadway. So, in the actual theme sequence, you are forced to look through the slats of the railing, as the filming vehicle zips by them.

'Sitting Lincoln' by Gutzon Borglum
(John) Gutzon de la Mothe Borglum (March 25, 1867 – March 6, 1941) was an American artist and sculptor famous for creating the monumental presidents' heads at Mount Rushmore, South Dakota, the famous carving on Stone Mountain near Atlanta, as well as other public works of art.
He considered this sculpture his favorite work. It sits on the old "Lincoln Highway" at what used to be the most busy intersection in the United States.

By: Mike1989.
The Essex County Courthouse is located in Newark, New Jersey. It was built in 1904 and was added to the National Register of Historic Places on June 26, 1975.
The building, designed by Cass Gilbert, has a four-story rotunda topped with a Tiffany skylight. It features artwork from some of the most well known artists of the American Renaissance period.

Cathedral Basilica of the Sacred Heart - Front Entrance
The Cathedral Basilica of the Sacred Heart, one of the larger cathedrals in the United States, is the seat of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Newark. It is located at 89 Ridge Street in Newark, New Jersey. Envisioned as a "fitting monument to the faith," construction began in 1899 and was finished in 1954. The original design called for an English/Irish-gothic church, but plans were later modified in favor of a French-gothic style.
The cathedral is one of the largest non-downtown buildings in Newark, and can be seen from very far away.

Camera Shot of NJ Tpk W Spur From E Spur - Soprano's Opening Theme
Shot of NJ Turnpike Western Spur taken from the Eastern Spur just south of Exit 15W. In the actual theme sequence, this shot is zoomed tighter, and also taken from a camera not as high up as the Google camera is, causing the concrete railing to obscure the view of the ground in front of the Western Spur. The shot appears at the 0:36 mark of the song.
The accuracy of this shot is open to argument. The reason I am confident that this shot is somewhat accurate, is because of the highway ramp below the W Spur roadway, and also because of the silhouette of the Cathedral Basilica in the actual theme shot. This shot is lined up with the cathedral as well, although we can't see it because of bad resolution on Streetview.
