Is there such a place or was it just fictional?

If it is fictional, then is the name supposed to be a joke of some sort?

It's a pretend city. Next time you're at the store, look it up in a road atlas.

I checked on that a LONG time ago when the movie first came out, and was disappointed.

Funny story about Illinois and Follow That Bird actually. I was watching it down on my TV in the family room when my parents got home, and I paused it right when a newspaper flashed up on the screen, and my parents started reading it, and it turns out the paper was from my home town of Belleville, Illinois. Coincidental no?

Funny. Was it the newspaper that Sam Sleaze was reading?

That it was Bry! I don't remember if it said "Belleville" on the page, but there were ads for stores my mom and dad had been to.
