      The 303 Douglas location (in the first shot) is in Waukegan. It was my Grandmothers house. Coincidentally, the Parkway restaurant, where other scenes were shot, was owned by my Grandfather and family for over 50 years.
      Aside from being a great movie, I always get a kick out of my families ties to it.

    Awesome job Patrick. I worked on these sets and I don't even remember them all. 00:26 the 303 location is believe was in Waukegan not far from North Ave. It is 303 west something. Check street view possibly Douglas.

    The photo of the "Tease-O-Rama is really a liquor store located on the NW corner of Grand and Butrick in Waukegan.

      Hi Jim it turns out that was incorrect. Someone else pointed out to me that it was in North Chicago. I really agreed with you until I saw the other building and for sure that one is it.

    The Brass Candle restaurant (at least the interior shots) was apparently the Parkway Restaurant on Belvidere Road in Waukegan, not far from where the car spinning scene was filmed. Like the Mathon's restaurant, both were closed down at the time and then torn down after the filming.

      Hi Duane thank you for the info. I still believe the gas station is in Carpentersville but the other two are spot on. too bad each of them are now torn down. I was not sure what you meant on the end of the paragraph.

    The interior of one bar or restaurant was a set built inside a warehouse located in Northbrook, Illinois. I'll investigate which specific scene, but I got a peak through fencing while they filmed.

    The fake pond was actually created inside a large warehouse on Commercial Avenue in Northbrook
