where did they film a christmas story

The classic Christmas movie "A Christmas Story" was primarily filmed in the Cleveland, Ohio area. The majority of the film was shot on location in Cleveland and its surrounding suburbs, including the scenes set in the school and the department store. The interior scenes of the house, the alley, and the family's dining room were all shot on soundstages. Additionally, the exterior scenes of the family's house were shot in the town of Cleveland Heights, just a few miles from the actual shooting locations in Cleveland.
