    Absolutely perfect! I am very shocked/surprised as to how many locations are so easy recognizable.

      Yeah, most of the places and buildings are still around and look essentially the same. The only major change was the demolition of the diner where they look through the want ads.

    Wow these filming location then and now vids are incredible. I hope Tom Hanks the star of Big himself actually saw this one. He would be absolutely amazed how much has and hasn't changed since the time of the movie in 1988.

      Yeah I was saddened when the FAO Schwarz toy store moved out of their 5th Ave location. But just for clarification purposes: the Apple Store was only in that space for a couple years while their next door "cube" store got renovated. They vacated the space in 2019.

    Great Job! A lot of these locations are well known, but how do you know the locations of all the small minutia places? Is there a website that tells you where movie locations are? I grew up 4 miles from Rye, Playland So I knew that location and most of the major NYC landmarks like the GW bridge and the FAO Schwarz etc: but how do you know all the smaller lesser-known locations. (eg: like where was Josh home in NJ?, & some of the interior scenes)
