After the suggestion from Tim Kindler, I'm looking forward to checking out the original house where the film "A Christmas Story" was filmed. Check out
www.achristmasstoryhouse.com for more info. It doesn't look too far from the IX Center. My father-in-law is a big fan and will be getting a 'leg lamp' for Christmas this year. We'll probably check it out on Wednesday morning, before the show opens.
