Why is it not mentioned that this was filmed at the Cincinnati Workhouse!?! I KNOW it was. The Workhouse was pretty much my backyard as a kid (in the 80's) and my mom SAW ol Sly leaving the place...
The Cincinnati Workhouse was a beautiful building, and was registered as a national monument, but due to neglect was demolished in the early 90's. I feel it should get the credit it deserves!
