| Fight Scene - Minto Street |
Filmed at the end of this dead end street, the junkyard is gone and a small brick apartment building now stands where the boys fought their battle.

In the photo at left you can see the trolley yards still exist. This is the same trolley you see in the scene when the Parkers buy their Christmas Tree. (See below)

|
| Christmas Tree Lot - Queen Street |
 |
The lot appears to have been reduced in size with the addition af the 'New Tribe' building. As you can see the trolleys still pass by.
The building in the background of the tree lot is on the street behind and is shown in the lower left photo as it stands today. |

Exterior and interior shots were all done here.
Even though there is a flagpole in front of this school, the
scene where Flick's tongue got stuck was filmed in the rear with
a specially constructed pole.

Thanks to Mike Duyn who wrote:
"I tried to match it up to the photo you have from the film the
best I could. As you can see from the photo the same trees are
still there, but all the windows have been boarded up. It was
closed down as a school about 10 years ago, they have a sign out
front that says they are planning
on turning it into a womens shelter soon. The field behind the
school is going through some major changes, it was sold and they
are laying foundations for new housing."
"I remember when they were
filming down there I was 9 years old and my parents brought me
and my younger bro down to see all the excitement." |
