Chicago is the most populous city in Illinois and the third most populous city in the United States. The McCallister and Pruitt families resided in Winnetka and Evanston, respectively. Both cities are in the Chicago metropolitan area.
History[]
Two Christmas vacations in a row, the McCallister family flew out from Chicago O'Hare International Airport. The first year, they flew to Paris.[1] The following year, Kevin McCallister traveled from Chicago to New York City by accident when he was separated from his family at O'Hare, with them traveling to the planned holiday destination in Miami, Florida.[2]
Four international spies led by Petr Beaupre followed Greta Hess to Chicago after she accidentally took their bag which contained a missile-cloaking chip.[3]
