Billy's House - "Little Big League" Filming Location - Edina, MN

Yesterday, I got lost in an Edina, Minnesota residential neighborhood. I drove by this property and immediately I thought, "It's Billy's house!" I knew the house was in Edina and I have been keeping an eye out for it for years. The house has been remodeled some. They added the fake second floor and changed some of the front windows, but the placement of the side window and the trees in front are the dead give-aways. You can find this property at 5401 Londonderry Road in Edina. Above is a still from the film, as Billy rushes home to get the news of his grandfather's passing. Below is the house in June of 2015.

The Elf Tree - Edina, MN

Found on Lake Harriet Drive in Edina, Minnesota, this tree apparently is the home of at least one elf. People often leave notes and wishes at the footstep of the elf's door. I knocked. Either the elf was sleeping, hiding or ficticious. Find out for yourself!

Arnold's House - "Jingle All the Way" Filming Location - Edina, MN

This location took me quite awhile to find. However, thanks to Google Earth and and little foresight, I found the filming location used for Arnold's neighborhood in "Jingle All the Way." It can be found on the cul-de-sac of Bruce Place in Edina, Minnesota.

The above photo is how the neighborhood appeared in the opening credits of the film. The photo below is how the neighborhood appeared in 2014.

The house specifically used as Arnold's has changed significantly. Both images above are how the house looked in the film: one at night and one during the day. The below photo is how the house looked in 2014.
