A Christmas Story ?

###########################################################
I live a few blocks from where Jean Sheppard Grew up (author of....A Christmas Story ).
I also went to the Old w g harding School he attended as a kid. It's torn down,and a vaccant lot now.(And beat to death detecting site).

Just thinking of my grade school years at warren g Harding when I watch the movie.....Higbees in the movie ,was Goldblats (The decorations,,,,Santa and the Escalator /Slide depicted in Higbees .....was just how it looked in the downtown Goldblats.......LOL).

By the way.....none of the scenes were filmed in my neighborhood ??? That I know of..:icon_scratch:
Seems it was mostly filmed in an old neighborhood in Ohio ??? That looks alot like mine,or some scenes were filmed somewhere else. ??? ??? :icon_scratch:.........I

Merry Christmas All,..............And to All a Good Night
