I live in the 10th most dangerous city in the US!!

My fiance lives in Wayne's World. But hate to break it to y'all's...I think very little of the movie was filmed there.

Especially the stuff people remember from the film. The big pole with all the cars on it? That's in Berwyn, not Aurora. Mikita's Donuts? Doesn't exist. The white castle they pass on the way to the club actually IS in Aurora, but I think that about does it.

Thanks for pointing all of that out. It's not like I haven't lived here in the western 'burbs my whole life or anything. This whole time I was suffering under the delusion that the whole movie was filmed here! At least I know the "Welcome to Aurora" signs are in Aurora. Right? RIGHT?!?!

Next thing I know you're going to tell me Breakfast Club was TWO schools; one on the outside and one on the inside!!

Wait! You're telling me Empire Strikes Back wasn't filmed on location?!

Sometimes I forget that all of the users here on the boards are from Chicago suburbs. I totally should have remembered that before posting something that maybe 6 people here already knew.

I am such an IDIOT.

I'm glad you said it so I didn't have to ;D
