The quaint and very real Woodstock Illinois.

With one of the best places to see live music in the Old Woodstock Opera House. I swear the thing holds like 300 people or so.







I saw John Prine, Doc Watson, and Leo Kotke there. Like watching them in your livingroom.

Woodstock, Illinois - Groundhog Day Movie Town

The movie "Groundhog Day" was filmed in Woodstock, IL because they have a very quaint, old-fashioned town square. If you visit Woodstock, you can not only see the actual town square and pavilion where the Groundhog Day festivities were filmed, but other outdoor scenes were filmed there as well. When Bill Murray stepped into the huge hole in the street, they actually had to remove bricks from the street to create the hole. When they repaired the street, the town put a plaque in the spot on the sidewalk that says "Bill Murray Stepped Here". Also, the scene where Bill Murray's character meets Ned Ryerson (the insurance salesman) was filmed here. There is a plaque on the building wall at the corner that says "Ned's Corner." If you like the movie, it's very cool to see this! [Janel, 07/10/2005]
