    Number 6 took place in Cleveland. Or at least filmed there. 

     The rest all took place at the North Pole. That’s where all Christmas movies happen?

    I get the impression that roughly half of 'A Christmas Story' was filmed in Cleveland, the other half in Toronto. I know for sure that the Chinese restaurant and the school were in Canada.

    It's so much cheaper and easier in Canada....or Mexico or anywhere than LALA Land. Small town and rust belt USA are making new inroads though.
