* ArtisticLicenceGeography: The route of the ChaseScene only ''sort of'' makes sense. The radio says they are, "At the 31st Street Bridge, going westbound on Liberty", so Tom and his father take Bigelow Boulevard to downtown to meet up with the chase. They hook up with 7th Street, passing by the post office and crossing Grant to get to Liberty. Then they connect with Liberty from the other side of the street than they should. They pass Oxford Center and inexplicably pop into the Armstrong Tunnels, under Duquesne University. Out of the tunnels they cross the Monongahela River at the Smithfield Street Bridge... odd considering the tunnels they just pulled out of end at the 10th Street bridge. Why did the suspect backtrack two miles to cross the river?[[note]]Construction, obviously.[[/note]] There's the standoff at what looks like Carson Street under the Liberty Bridge, and then he manages to escape that and somehow gets to and drives up the [=PJ=] [=McArdle=] Roadway to Mount Washington. He skids to a turn down [[SceneryPorn Grandview Avenue]], runs into an Iron City truck, and from there it's hard to tell where they're going - but there's nothing like the area they end up in down Grandview.
