I think he's a state too far East. Gene Shepard, who wrote the story [which I understand hasd a lot of autobiograhical experience] grew up in Northwestern Indiana.

I've never identified with a film like I did with A Christmas Story.
I grew up in the 40s, went to a red brick school where kids dared you to lick the flag pole in freezing weather, looked a lot like Ralphie (without the glasses)and wanted a Red Ryder BB gun more than anything. Our dogs even ate the Christmas turkey once--but instead of going out for Chinese, we had a meatless feast of all the trimmings. I could go on, but damn it is a wonderful movie that captured that time so well.
