Walsh's ex-wife house, film location


Finally been able to track this down, with the help of the Itsfilmedthere web site.....
3899 Grace Lane Glenview Illinos

Google Maps has a great view of it.
The roof and driveway look the same, as does the house across the street.
And the address is seen over the garage...
Also, as Walsh and The Duke first pull up, the 2-3 houses to the right can be seen, and they match up from the film...

Are you going to send the owners a Christmas card?

What's your problem....why the immature lame comment?
A side hobby a lot of us have....finding film locations.....there are dozens of web sites for film locations...
Why not just click to the next thread if this one doesn't interest you....

Cry me a river.Your too thin skinned to be on the net.It was sarcasm like this(clue for you corky)but your too busy playing amateur sleuth/creepy net stalker too realize it.

reply

Not thin skinned at all. Its people like you who feel they have to post things like this (negative, stupid comments) to make up for lack of confidence, in their less than happy lives..
... Like I said... why even post? And nothing stalker about it, dozens of web sites for film locations.... never been to one.. just fun to play detective and find them.
Need to go back to your regular web site... www.chronicmasterbater.com

Dude! I totally giggled at ny pitbull's first comment, because..it was funny! His second comment..not so much. Either way, judging by the whole exchange, you BOTH sound thin-skinned. Anyway, you might not ever read this, but thanks for finding the locations. I too like to be a bit of a sleuth when it comes to researching my favorite movies.

It's fun to find the locations. I found the bail bonds office, Red's Corner Bar, the alley at the start of the movie where Jack runs down the guy he is chasing. Also the diner where they have the "Chorizo and Eggs" conversation. The convenience store they run out of right before hopping the train.
That guys comment didn't really bug me, just wonder sometimes what motivates people to be negative about things.
If you like locations here is a site that focuses on locations in So Cal:

Just watched it on cable and that appears to be the exact street and house where that scene was filmed.

reply

If I ever visit that area (doubt it), I'll walk up to the house and ask the owners for some cash just because.

That's awesome dude. I just googled and it is a great view. I always wonder how much people get paid to use their home in films.

I was curious as well
I grew up in Glen Ellyn, IL (Lucas)and am always interested in Chicago area filming locations!
Glenview is a N Suburb of Chicago
