"Ferris Bueller's Day Off" premiered 40 years ago today.
@chicagotribune critic Gene Siskel gave it 2 stars. Still, the film was a commercial success. And the Chicago-area filming locations make for a fun tour.

The #Cubs game on TV at the pizza place took place June 5, 1985, against the Atlanta Braves.
But when Ferris Bueller caught the foul ball? That was shot during a Sept. 24, 1985, game at Wrigley Field.

A worthy excuse, if you ask us.

Have you ever heard of the Shipwreck of the Silver Spray? The passenger steamer sank in 1914 off the shoreline near 49th Street Beach. We could see the boiler clear as day from the helicopter today š. Pretty neat piece of history I didnāt know about!
