That's awesome. I lived like a block away from that HS a few years ago. Those condos right to the east if that means anything to you. They have a lot of good options for lunch, I'm talkin like Oberwise, Dunkin Donuts, Panera, all RIGHT across the street. I didn't go there myself, went to Wheaton North. There were some Beth Coopers. I worked strange hours but drove by there Friday mornings when students were walkin in for the day. There was this girl walkin across Dundee right in front of me in those wicked tight pants that have a word on the ass, you know they type. Are you out there Buffalo Grove girl, do you post at IMDB?? Just kiddin. God what a stupid post this is. Anyway, anyone else here from B Grove?

I'm not from BG but I'm from Arlington Heights. I lived right down the street from Hersey actually. I do know those condos you're talking about. There's the "blue park" right next to them (as my friends and I called it). I think that park is getting redone or something. I used to go around that area all the time to party and whatnot. Yeah there was some good food in that area. It might be a bit new for you, but there's now 30's Pizza. Their gimmick is if you eat a 30 inch pizza with 2 other people in under an hour, it's free. Also, part of the movie Couples Retreat was filmed in a park on Lake Cook Road, which is about a block away. I was on my way after school to buy a pack of cigarettes (Lake County is the place to get smokes due to less tax) and I was stopped at a light on Lake Cook Road and looked to my left to see a filming crew. I didn't know what it was until there was an article about it in the Daily Herald.

The northwest suburbs of Chicago were a great place to be.

Damn straight they were. I forgot to mention, BGHS students loved to do it in the parking lot of my condo. That was like, where you went for sex. There were used condoms down there all the time, my roommates gf went down there one night and there were two naked teenage girls outside of a car, I think they got in real quick when they saw her. Don't remember the exact details. Cooper probably got railed there all the time, haha.

I doubt it's Buffalo Grove Illinois when all the license plates had Washington license plates. The scenery also looked to be Washington state.

This has nothing to do with where it was filmed. It's about the place it's based on

This movie came out the same year I graduated from BGHS. I also heard that the producers went to the school telling them if they could shoot the film there. Then the school tells them no and thats why they went to canada. Way to go BGHS

I used to live in Palatine, which is right near Buffalo Grove. I used to eat at that Panera Bread in Buffalo Grove.
