Filmed here, per Wikipedia

Productions whose English Wikipedia article names Park Ridge as somewhere it was shot, with no matching statement on Wikidata. Weaker evidence than a Wikidata statement, and labelled as what it is, each production’s own page links the exact section the claim comes from.

The Blues Brothers 1980
The Lucky Ones 2008
“Much of the film was shot on location in Illinois at sites including Alsip, Arlington Heights, Barrington, Bolingbrook, Chicago, Edwardsville, Naperville, Niles, O' Fallon and Park Ridge and Skokie.” Wikipedia

Named here by Park Ridge’s own Wikipedia article

Productions this page’s own Wikipedia article says were shot at Park Ridge, where neither Wikidata nor the production’s own article records it. That is the weakest evidence on this atlas, so these get no pin on the map and stay out of the downloads — the sentence is quoted in full below each one so you can judge it.

The Blues Brothers 1980

“The 1980 film The Blues Brothers had some scenes filmed in Park Ridge, including the scene in which the brothers are first pulled over by the state police and the beginning of the subsequent chase.” Wikipedia
