Funny People like John Hughes
Being a kid from Chicago,John Hughes was a part of my inner circle's family. I own every movie Hughes did. Planes,Trains & Automobiles holds a special place in my heart. I grew up in a neighborhood about 3 miles from the El Rancho Motel. The first time I tripped on acid was in the room where the motel scenes were shot. Yes,it did look exactly like that room in the movie. If you google map The El Rancho Motel(Gurnee,Ill corner of Route 41 and Route 21),to the left of it is a truckstop(spent MANY drunk/stoned nights there eatin' B&G),to the right is what used to be a biker bar named Fatman's( hat my older sister spent many drunk/stoned nights at) and to the right of Fatman's at the actual intersection of Rts.41 & 21,you'll see The Point restaurant where my sister honed her waitressing skills. I have been to almost EVERY location shoot in Chicago for Hughes movies. Some are quite obvious. Most are hidden and some are of the unique. R.I.P. Mr.Hughes-Growing up stoned just wouldn't have been as fun without you :-(— August 10, 2009 8:20 p.m.
