Back In Time with Home Alone: Exploring the Retro Charm of Iconic Locations

Home Alone takes us on a nostalgic journey back to the good old days of family comedies. Remember the mischievous eight-year-old Kevin McCallister, played by the adorable Macaulay Culkin, who finds himself Home Alone during Christmas? Ah, those were the days!

The McCallister Homestead (671 Lincoln Avenue, Winnetka, Illinois):

Picture this: a charming colonial-style house at 671 Lincoln Avenue in Winnetka, Illinois. It's the McCallister residence, where young Kevin had his epic battle with the Wet Bandits. The red door, the snow-covered lawn, and the overall picturesque neighborhood—pure nostalgic gold.

O'Hare International Airport (10000 West O'Hare Avenue, Chicago, Illinois):

The McCallisters' mad dash to catch their flight was a symphony of chaos and comedy. The scenes at the airport unfolded at the bustling O'Hare International Airport in Chicago. The hustle and bustle of holiday travel? Classic '90s chaos.

Paris, France (The Ritz-Carlton, Chicago):

The McCallisters believed they were jet-setting to Paris, but in reality, they were chilling at The Ritz-Carlton in Chicago. The opulence of the hotel stood in for the luxurious accommodations one could only dream of in the City of Lights. But of course, some exteriors were shot in Paris, like this one:

Interior of the church (Grace Episcopal Church, 924 Lake St, Oak Park)

Kevin's introspective moments at the church. Kevin was walking past the church and heard singing. He goes into the church and sits down in one of the pews, then notices his neighbor, whom he is afraid of. The neighbor sits down next to him and they get to talking. The tranquil setting added a touch of sincerity to the film, reminding us of the importance of family and connection.

This place is different from the shot outside. Interior was filmed in Grace Episcopal Church, Oak Park.
