“We
didn't forget him. We just miscounted.”
The house of Kevin MacAllister
(Macaulay Culkin)
is to the north of Chicago,
at 671 Lincoln Avenue, Winnetka
(rail: Winnetka, Metra Commuter line from Northwestern
Station).
Nearby is the green where Kevin visits Santa Claus,
in front of Winnetka Village
Hall, Green Bay Road.
The green with the bandstand, where Kevin shops for
a toothbrush, is one stop north of Winnetka,
at Hubbard Woods,
while the church is way over in the western suburb of
Oak Park. The scene
was filmed in Grace Episcopal
Church, 924 Lake Street in Oak
Park. Don't recognise? That's because the
exterior seen is Trinity United
Methodist Church, 1024 West Lake Avenue, Wilmette,
way north of Chicago.

The airport from which the family leaves is, of course,
O'Hare
International Airport. And the ‘Paris’
airport at which they land? Well, wouldn't you know
it, that’s O'Hare
too.

There's
Home Alone 2, 3
and 4, of
course.
In Home Alone 2: Lost
In New York,
Kevin once again gets separated from his family,
as they head for ‘Florida’ and he
catches a plane for New
York. 671 Lincoln
Avenue and Chicago
Oí Hare Airport reprise their roles
from the first movie. Kevin stays at the Plaza
Hotel, Fifth Avenue at 59th Street,
New York, but this is a John
Hughes-produced movie, and if it can be
filmed in Chicago,
it will be. The luxury suite, in which the family
is reunited at the end of the movie, supposedly
overlooking New York's ‘Central Park’,
is the Conrad Hilton
Suite of the Chicago
Hilton and Towers, 720 South Michigan Avenue
(seen in The
Fugitive, with Harrison
Ford). Likewise, Eddie Brackenís toyshop
is the unmistakable rusticated arch of the Rookery
Building, 209 South La Salle Street
at West Adams Street in the Loop, also seen
as the office of Elliot Ness (Kevin
Costner) in Brian
De Palma's The
Untouchables.
