One of my hobbies or interests is trying to find filming locations for various TV shows and movies. As an example, in the film,'Meet The Parents' the restaurant that Ben Stiller, Robert De Niro, Teri Polo and Blythe Danner ate at was Louie's Shore Restaurant located on lower Main Street Port Washington and when they were racing to Oyster Bay where Ben Stiller made a left hand turn was the intersection of Main Street and S. Bayles Ave in Port Washington. The pharmacy that was used in the film was Salem Drugs located on Port Washington Blvd, in Port Washington.
In the movie the Godfather, the ambush scene was filmed at the old airstrip runways located near Nassau Community College in NY. A little history, where NCC is located used to be an Army airstrip during and after WWII. At the time of the filming, the Army has since long left the area and the area has become a community college, office buildings and manufacturing. The US Navy still has a small presence there.
In the famous movie Miracle on 34th Street, the house that Susan (Mara Wilson) in the final scenes of the movie that she ran up to is located on Derby Lane in Port Washington.
So you can see that I have an interest in where films were made. With Key West, finding these locations has become an obsession especially since I love Key West and want to make it my last stop in life. After watching all 13 episodes several times and using Google Earth and Google Streetview, I was able to locate several of the filming locations. I also had some assistance from Allan Marcil who was one of the producers with this. If anyone knows of a location that I have not found, please let me know.
For the most part with locations that I have found from other productions, I let it go to two or three locations. But since I an a huge fan of 'Key West', I've been obsessed in trying to find as many filming locations that I could.
I did not include any interior shots unless I was positive of the location. I am almost positive that some of the interior shots were filmed on a sound stage. For a few shots, I had to capture the image from another website. I mentioned put an attribution under the image in question.
Below is a table of what I have found so far with a picture of the location from the show and from Streetview. I not only located the place, but have the episode, location in lat/lon where the location is, and the time stamp in the show. In many cases I added some commentary about the location. Maybe I'll create a KML file with that data that you can download and bring that into Google Earth.
In some instances, the image from the show was taken from the roof of a building. Google Streetview for obvious reasons would not or has the current image so I had to use Google Earth to locate the building where the show image was taken and have an arrow pointing from the building to what the image was.
The resolution for the images from the show are not that good for they were captured from the Wayback Machine and YouTube. Google Streetview had limitations so it was hard to capture the precise spot so I had to get as close as the limitations would allow. Allowance needs to be made for there is over 30 yrs since the show aired so some things have changed.
