The 2 round turrets you see in the movie are waaaaaay down the street, adjacent to the river.

A lot of those lots downtown are built the same and do look similar. If you look closely at the photo comparisons above there are many things in the background (buildings, slope of roads, train platform lay out including stairs, etc) that do not seem to match up.

My best friend at the time (junior high), was the one who's house was run through in the final chase. That was his Dad that actually yelled. It's on Butternut south of Techny Road.
