As a native Houstonian, I was delighted to see the movie and identify
some of the locations. Yes, the movie was filmed in Houston as many 
of the signs and landmarks reveal. Here are some of the locations I 
recognized: ** Delmar Stadium (290 at 610, where they flew kites) 
** St. John's School (as Rushmore) ** The cemetary is located just 
outside of Western Downtown (but burning leaves is illegal in city 
limits) ** Max's house is located just between Montrose and Downtown 
** Ms. Cross's house is in the Museum District ** The barbar shop is 
located on one of the "nth" strets leading into downtown, although 
the number was always obscured ** Bill Murray's house is probably in 
River Oaks or West University 

True, the movie is not "SET" in Houston, but thankfully, the location 
was never obscurred. Good job, Wes -- you're welcome back anytime.

the plant scenes were filmed at Saw Pipes USA, Inc. in Baytown, TX 
where we make the best steel pipes in the business.

Parts of the movie were also filmed at North Shore High School in 
Houston. Just wanted to set the record straight.

Yes, the film is set in Texas, it was filmed in Houston, and just to 
clear things up -- at Kinkaid, St. John's, and NORTH SHORE - people 
tend to like to forget about the last one due to the fact that it 
was used for the reject school that Max ends up at - but hey - it 
makes no matter!! I love my school, and it was fun to see the 
filming.
