  3. I used to live at 1321 S. MILLARD and before this site was made I used to say this is my old block, I know it is, I just know it and now some years later this site is made and I was right, I will never forget that playground I have so many memories on that block but my dad moved us when I was 13...also I knew that bus stop on California was in this movie I used to catch the bus there all the time from the green line el station. I just want to say thank you for creating this page because I am validated

  6. I'm coming to this a little late, but I read the audition scene was filmed at the Athenaeum Theatre at 2936 N Southport. I just had my daughter watch the scene (she's performed on the stage) and she said- yup! That's pretty much it! Hope that helps!

  8. I know I'm really late to the game here, but I think the alley where they sneak up the fire escape to the dance studio is "Couch Alley or Death Alley" behind the Oriental Theatre. Between N. Dearborn and N. State, E. Lake and E. Randolph!
