This Google Map here is Five Points. It is no longer a five street intersection. It is still known as Five Points though, because that was the name of a notorious slum area through most of the 1800s that used to be there. Two of the streets are gone now.

Hey this something new I have learned from the master himself........T7!

I never knew that place existed Tantive, thanks for the info. I'm pretty sure that the area he's looking for is the Five Points that I told him about though. He's likely referring to a gang in the original script that had "Five Points" in their name, though I don't remember the exact gang name, and the historical, well known Five Points makes more sense than a graffiti museum that probably didn't even exist in 1979.

Still though, those videos are awesome. Thanks for posting them.

Thanks T7 and GM99. But I'm almost sure 5ptz was in manhattan till 1870-1900. I mean, in July I was in New York and my girl's greatgranmother told me about this historical square. Now only out of curiosity I wish I Know, if someone can help me, where that place was located, cause she doesn't remember. Only 1 thing she does is manhattan and today's discricts as chinatown, lower east side or the village... anyway surely that place doesn't exist anymore. Anyway thank you in advance 4 any other answer. 8)

Once Again, Thanks GR99 for That Link.

Here's The Five Points Today.

Rewatching the Movie I noticed a "Strange" Thing about The Five Points.
ie: a Five Streets Crossroad. But, as I posted above, in The Original One there were only 3 Streets.
Anyway, here's The Still:

Plus, in The Movie they used The Original Street Names apart from Anthony St, in that Scene Worth St.
Just a Curiosity.
