Excellent. Yeah, it almost demands to be run in costume, doesn't it?

Just saw the pilot last night, so these all look super familiar. I knew where most of the downtown ones were, but I was guessing that the house and black posts were near from Grant Park somewhere. Is the white building with the pass-thru arch in it the old AJC building?

Right, "bicycle girl" is at the intersection of Berne and Park Ave., right across from the Grant Park Pool (just out of the frame.) The white building with the arch is Norfolk Southern on Spring Street (between Trinity Ave. and Mitchell Street). A lot of the action from the first few episodes takes place on the roof of the southern Norfolk Southern building, which backs up to the southern part of the railroad "gulch." And the Nelson Street Bridge between them has been closed to vehicle traffic for a while now, so it made a perfect "deserted" shoot location. All the pics are geo-tagged on my run. :)

Nice! And the Mitchell Street bridge just north of that one is closed for being structurally deficient. I remember seeing that one on our map! I thought it might be the one they were on in the pilot.

Yep, I think there are issues with both of those bridges. Both have been closed for a while. I always come across on MLK when taking a shortcut through downtown, but that bridge may be next. (Your map says "functionally obsolete.")
