Filming Location in "The Road Part 2"

Did anyone notice (particularly LI/NY locals) that when Louie is walking down the street in "Oklahoma City" before coming across the fair you can clearly see highway signs for "Mineola" and NY license plates driving by? I recognized this as Hempstead Turnpike in East Meadow on Long Island, right across from Eisenhower Park near Nassau Collesium. I guess most of the general american public wouldn't be able to tell the difference, but I recognized the familiarity right away. It seems like once he went into the parking lot though the licenses were Oklahoma.

I tracked it down by googling 'Narishige,' which was a logo seen on the building adjacent to the parking lot as Louie walked further into that parking lot. 1710 Hempstead Turnpike, East Meadow, NY 11554, U.S.A.

I'm guessing they used Governors as the stand-in for "Jokers Comedy Club". Never been to Governors so I can't say for sure but given the proximity and the pictures online seemed to somewhat match-up with what the episode showed.

Not to mention there hasn't been a "Jokers" in Oklahoma City in over a decade.

And for the record, you don't go downtown because of the Hispanics, you don't go downtown because of the wealthy white douchebags.

I'm not from NY but I noticed all license plates were NY when he's walking on the sidewalk. They are too peculiar to not notice them. I also notice the license plates were not NY when he's in the flea market. I imagine they had control over the parked cars in that scene but not over the random cars that would drive by the road. I guess those license plates in the parking lot were OK... I couldn't really tell, but if they really put those on purpose I guess they were OK since they were supposed to be in OK.
