36. Triple Dog Dare You ...

I may have mentioned this in the past, but "A Christmas Story" is based in my hometown city where I grew up, Hammond, IN.
When I first watched this in the mid 80's, when internet wasn't around yet, the mention of the Chicago Bears up there, and down in Griffith (Indiana), I knew it was was close to where I grew up.

Then I found it just how close I was to this storied location.
The author of "A Christmas Story", is Jean Shepherd , who played the narrator & the gentleman who told Ralphie that the line to see Santa started waaaay back there, in the movie.
Jean Shepherd graduated from my high school, Hammond High School.
The school in the movie Warren G. Harding Elementary exists in the Hessville section of Hammond and is at the end of Cleveland St.
My cousins attended Harding Elementary.

So I tell people, that I grew up in "A Christmas Story"
