I grew up in Pontiac but was living in Washington state when movie was made. When I went back for a visit, my sister told me a lot about the filming. I recognized a lot of the locations. The house that was demolished was 2 blocks from the house I grew up in. It was a vacant lot when I visited. Wish it was available on DVD.
