Other Boston locations included Oliver Street and Federal Street in the Financial District; Emmanuel Colleges Yawkey Center; and Wang Theatre in
the Theatre District.

otsoNY Comments: For anyone familiar with New York, you might have noticed the bizarre route the Ghostbusters car took from their HQ in Boston, to
seamlessly appearing on Chambers Street in lower Manhattan, then moments later what looks like Park Avenue up near 97th Street heading south but is probably back in Boston,
only to switch to the East Side of Manhattan with the car heading north on the FDR and finally turning left into East 41st Street near the New York
Public Library having driven down 5th Avenue only to end up back in Boston!... and all of this in rush hour traffic.
