This is box one in a series dedicated to movies fimed in Cleveland, about Cleveland or having some Cleveland Connection.
A Christmas Story was released in 1983 and has become a Holiday Tradition in many households. Here is a little info:
Director Bob Clark reportedly sent location scouts to twenty cities before selecting Cleveland, Ohio, as the principal site for filming. Higbee's department store in downtown Cleveland was the stage for three scenes in A Christmas Story.
The exterior shots (and select interior shots, including the opening of the leg lamp) of the house and neighborhood where Ralphie lived were filmed in the Tremont section of Cleveland's West Side. The house used as the Parker home in these scenes has been restored, reconfigured inside to match the soundstage interiors, and opened to the public as A Christmas Story House. The "...only I didn't say fudge" scene was filmed just down the street from the house.
Cleveland car buffs donated a number of vintage vehicles for use in the film, which helped to enhance the authenticity of the production despite a limited budget. During filming in downtown Cleveland, members of a local antique automobile club, following a preset route, repeatedly circled the square. At the end of filming each day, the cars were washed under pressure to remove road salt, and parked underground beneath the Terminal Tower.
Now for the box: ACTION!
Beyer's Pond Trail, Big Creek Parkway Cleveland Metroparks
From "The End" take 30 paces to the 4 trunk maple. Be sure to close the curtains we wouldn't want the neighbors to see.
CUT!
