Haha, as you should - I showed this to my nyc history buff co-workers and boss and we figured out the source photos and locations:
The
first photo is clearly NYC
Second photo is also clearly NYC with the Metropolitan Life Insurance Building in the background as the landmark.
Third, also clearly NYC with Saint Patricks Cathedral as the landmark.
Fourth - Its Boston

Fifth- Washington DC (Washington, D.C., circa 1921. "People's Drug Store, 7th and E Sts." National Photo Company Collection glass negative. according to the source)
Sixth - also DC (Washington, D.C., circa 1915. "Weller's drug store, Eighth & I streets S.E.")
Seventh - DC again (according the library of congress where we found the source photo)
Eighth - Back to NYC (Doyers street in Chinatown)
Ninth - Colombus Ohio Court House
Tenth - Wilmerding, PA (The machine shop for the Westinghouse Airbrake Company)
Eleventh - Plymouth, PA (The Plymouth Coal Breaker)
Twelvth - Bethlehem-Fairfield Shipyards, Baltimore
Thirteenth - Penn Station, NYC (So named for the Pennsylvania Railroad [MENTION=23097]Insertnamehere[/MENTION] , not the state )
Fourteenth - Again, NYC with Saint Paul's spire as the landmark
Fifteenth - NYC, The Queensboro Bridge
Sixteenth - Detroit, Detroit Rubber Works
Seventeenth - The Capitol building, DC
Eighteenth - NYC, Central Park
Nineteenth - The York Theater in DC
Again, its a beautiful animation, and I don't mean to detract anything from it. But thats what, 8 out of 19 that are actually NYC?
