Forwarded from marybob.mcd@worldnet.att.net Hi Nancy I have read about 5 points . Would anyone know if any of it is still standing and where it is in todays NY ? Bob
Dear Bob: The area is still there, just north and slightly east of the Municipal Archives a couple of blocks. The area, of course, is nothing like it was back then though. The book I mentioned, which is the basis for the movie, gives a very detailed history of the area. Best regards. Nancy.

I am no expert on 5 points, but I believe it is approximately were the large court house complex is today. The 5 points area was torn down to make way for it. Here is a link showing exactly were is was: http://r2.gsa.gov/fivept/phx.htm I am providing a link below that shows Five Points today. As you can see there is no trace of it today as it once was: http://r2.gsa.gov/fivept/wifp.htm Don McGovern --- MARY & BOB MC DONALD <marybob.mcd@worldnet.att.net> wrote: > Hi to all.
