*Christmas Story* House Restored by Fan

Filed under: Fun Stuff — Administrator @ 4:43 am

Ok… everybody and there mother knows the movie “A Christmas Story” but did you know you can tour the house. Yep some crazy fan (aka Brian Jones) bought the house and restored it.

Jones has restored the three-story, wood-frame house to its appearance in the movie and will open it for tours beginning Saturday. His hope is that it will become a tourist stop alongside the city’s Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and other destinations.

He’s unsure whether he’ll make enough money to cover his $500,000 investment, but as sure as a kid’s tongue will stick to a frozen flag pole, he’s committed to the project.

BTW… I love the Christmas Story and this year I bought a Leg Lamp Replica which is life-size and stands 40 inches tall.
