Vol. 3, No. 12, December 2010 This house where the 1983 classic film A Christmas Story was shot still stands in Cleveland and has been visited by more than 100,000 tourists. The RTA #81 bus goes there from downtown. Classic film’s hero’s home really exists The home of Ralphie Parker, the boy hero of the classic movie A Christmas Story, is on Rowley Avenue in Cleveland, Ohio, not on Cleveland Street in some fictional town in Indiana., where author Jean Shepherd had placed it in a story he wrote. Shepherd grew up in Hammond, Indiana, where he graduated from high school and worked as a mail carrier and steel worker. Later, he became a radio broadcaster in Cincinnati, Philadelphia and New York. Grampa remembers listening to him on station KYW and chucking at his tall tales. Shepherd also wrote short stories, among them A Christmas Story. The movie’s producer looked at a half dozen cities and towns and decided to shoot its exterior scenes in Cleveland, because Higbee's Department Store there was willing to cooperate in the film’s production. It’s mere coincidence that the name of the street in Hammond where Shepherd grew up was Cleveland Street. 1 Pictures credit: A Christmas Story House Museum; Jennie Moore Cray. ‘Christmas Story’ house in Cleveland.
