Road in old 'Sesame Street' closing credits

[bandit957]

Does anybody know what road was being traveled upon in the old 'Sesame Street' closing credits of the mid-'70s?

Here's what I'm talking about...

I've assumed it was in upstate New York, but this has never been confirmed.

I don't know, but thanks for the reminiscence of that groovy-ass post-crawl music. Children's learning hasn't had such sexy guitar accompaniment since!

I haven't heard that closing music in ages. Definitely made of win.

Knowing that filming for Sesame Street is based in NYC I would tend to think so. You wouldn't even have to go far, there are roads in Westchester county that still look like that today.

But man, major lack of distinguishing features. It could be anywhere that has trees and hills.

Unless someone recognizes the particular house around 1:20 (bearing in mind that's what it would have looked like 40 years ago), or knows where that style of utility pole seen around 0:20 (which strikes me as somewhat distinct) may have been used, there's not much to go by.

I assumed Westchester as well; it's reminiscent of a lot of roads even down in eastern Yonkers. But it could also be a road through one of the more remote NYC parks; eastern Queens, perhaps?

I guess they purposefully picked a road that looks as if it could be anywhere in the US, but you're right it's probably not far from NYC.

I'd say somewhere near NYC , or in New York.

You resurrected memories that were very, very deep in this ol' brain - had forgotten how much I loved the music and the video. I remember being obsessed with wondering where this was.
