      Maybe I missed it? I see that 'shadows' are mentioned and that there's a building/company called 'Sinclair' but that's all I noticed.

      What did I miss?

          Thanks. I wonder if JMS designates stuff like that in his scripts or not. My understanding is that many real NY places are used or derived from in the art so unless that company becomes important down the line we'll never know.

            Sinclair is a pretty popular company name. There are the Sinclair gas stations and there is the Sinclair Broadcast Group which was a big name during the presidential campaign last year.

            Most artists add stuff like that on their own.
            Recently, there was a reckoning. It occurred on November 4, 2014 across the United States. Voters, recognizing the failures of the current leadership and fearing their unchecked abuses of power, elected another party as the new majority. This is a first step toward preventing more damage and undoing some of the damage already done. Hopefully, this is as much as will be required.

              Well, the Sinclair Broadcast Group from the last election could be renamed "Nightwatch Broadcast Group"...

              A quick check of an online phone book shows that there's no "Sinclair Chemical" in the Manhattan area. Whether it will actually mean something or is just a little wink to JMS' fans (on either his or the artist's part) remains to be seen...
