The used car lot ("Campus Cars") that Dave's father owns was at 1010 South Walnut Street and was a real used car lot for many years though it now has two small commercial buildings on the property. Pagliai's, the pizza restaurant in the film, became Opie Taylor's, on the east side of North Walnut Street, but it later closed down. Other scenes were filmed outside the <a href="/wiki/Delta_Delta_Delta" title="Delta Delta Delta">Delta Delta Delta</a> sorority house at 818 East 3rd Street and along Jordan Street. Two scenes were filmed on West 7th Street: one at Fairview Elementary, the other three blocks east near the intersection of North Madison Street (the old railroad tracks have since been removed).
