Find All John Hughes' Movie Locations in One Spot

Chicago’s North Shore could be called the ‘Hollywood of the Midwest’ pretty much thanks to one man.

John Hughes.

The late, great director and Glenbrook North High School alum brought us droves of timeless classics, from Home Alone and The Breakfast Club to Uncle Buck and Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.

And he didn’t take to California as the locale for any of those flicks, either. He stayed true to his roots, thus leaving Chicago’s north suburbs as a prime spot for movie-lovers to hit up these famous landmarks.

If interested, you could make a full day of “movie locations” by hitting up just one website.

Arubinow.com has an entire page dedicated to Hughes’ classics. Each movie has its own section, with descriptions and photos of every location.

Locations in Chicago’s north suburbs are found in Evanston, Park Ridge, Kenilworth, Wilmette, Winnetka, Libertyville among others.
