    I'm surprised that these buildings look so ordinary, when in the film, they seemed almost mythically perfect, especially the Wilson house, with the perfect garden. My favorite scene is the kids running around the streets at night--something we actually did decades ago.

    The treehouse was built for the movie and was taken down immediately following filming. The tree, however, is still there, and it fairly easy to spot.

      We literally just tried to locate this bridge 4 different ways in Elgin. It’s impossible to get to. Believe it is north of Irving Park (Chicago Ave.) just east of Rohrrson rd. We are giving up.
