Being a huge fan of the movie “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off” and living in the Chicago area, I decided to check out Northbrook Highschool (which is where they filmed the highschool scenes in Ferris Bueller's Day Off), in Northbrook, IL and see what’s changed since 1986. It’s been nearly twenty years and it still looks pretty much the same. I brought a camera along and snapped some shots and put them up as links below. I also included a still from the movie as comparison.

Here’s a map link to the Northbrook highschool from "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" for those interested.
