As our own Matt Cohen wrote earlier this week, the greatest aspect of D.C. Cab is how it gets D.C. right.

Meaning, unlike Independence Day or other movies set or partially set in D.C. (Yeah, the Will Smith vehicle is my favorite. Deal.), D.C. Cab was mostly set away from the downtown, tourist-filled areas and in actual neighborhoods. And as Ian Buckwalter wrote for the City Paper, it ” also serves as a time capsule for a D.C. today’s younger residents never knew.” In that spirit, we picked out filming locations we could identify, and created a gallery showing how they looked in the early 1980s and how they look now.

The most difficult spot to pinpoint, sadly, was D.C. Cab Headquarters. It is almost certainly in Eckington and, as Curbed pointed out, somewhere near Quincy Place NE. But a scan of the area today reveals no building resembling the cab’s headquarters.
