![]() The home of Cameron ( Alan Ruck), where the 1961 Ferrari 250 GT California, is kept in a state of pristine perfection, is 370 Beech Street, between Linden Avenue and Wade Street, Highland Park (Linden Avenue, by the way was home to Tom Cruise in his breakthrough movie Risky Business). His dad, though, commutes to Chicago itself where his office is in the glass fronted block at 333 West Wacker Drive, overlooking the Chicago River. It’s finally been repainted and the lettering is now gone.įerris’s mum, Katy, works fairly locally in the Winnetka branch of real estate company Koenig and Strey, 583 Chestnut Street at the northwest corner of Elm Street, Winnetka. Just to the north of Northbrook Station, between Cedar Lane and Meadow Road, you can see the famous ‘Save Ferris’ water tower. The hallways of Glenbrook North had previously been used in John Hughes’s The Breakfast Club. The frontage, where Ferris poses as her dad to pick up Sloane ( Mia Sara), is not the school’s main entrance, but the Center for Performing Arts. The school, from which Ferris ( Matthew Broderick) bunks off to spend a day freewheeling around the big city, is Glenbrook North High School, 2300 Shermer Road, Northbrook, a northern suburb of Chicago on the Metra rail North Line from Chicago’s Union Station. Like many John Hughes films, it’s set in the fictitious Illinois town of ‘Shermer’ (Shermerville was the name of Hughes’ neighbourhood of Northbrook until 1923). Most of the locations for slacker classic Ferris Bueller’s Day Off can be found around Chicago, of course – though not all of them.
