I believe it zooms in to Iowa. But while we're on the subject,
about half way down we see a strait line of lights that I assume represent a interstate highway, right below that and to the right is a kinda round light,rather large compared to the highway. What does this light represent? Perhaps a sports arena?<center><hr width="100%"/></center></blockquote></span>

Yeah, I once read that it zooms in Iowa as well. The mysterious Chris M. Day once examined where exactly it zooms in, if I remember correctly. Unfortunately we could not win him to participate here, I guess, he could answer this question precisely. I believe it was placed near Des Moines, Iowa.
On the other hand here's a guy who describes the opening shot and speculates, it might be "Illinois-ish".

But I guess Des Moines was accepted by some people.
