15 Mind-Blowing Facts About The Sopranos

12. Real-World Crossovers

There are many instances of bizarre crossovers between The Sopranos' shooting locations and their real-life existences. Scenes in the Bada-Bing strip club were filmed at an actual gentleman's club in New Jersey called Satin Dolls - a club that has since been the subject of several high profile burglaries. A sports store in the show, based on a real New Jersey shop, was portrayed as going out of business, leading to many concerned calls from customers. Similarly, Long Island's Riverhead Raceway was "sold" in the show. This led to so many questions from customers about its "new" ownership that the race track had to erect a sign to clarify that it was a fictional sale.
