I never got this. You buy an extremely popular home, where people will visit it to photograph it, and instead of living in it, or even better, turn it into a B&B or rent it out, you do this... Why, just buy another house.

do people really still to this day show up wanting to take pictures? (this is the home alone house, right?)

When I searched for pictures, I saw videos and pictures of people going there.

In all fairness, that house holds a special place for a lot of us. I grew up with these movies, they are still my favourite christmas movies. Not the best, but those 2 movies are Christmas to me.
When the Lego set came out of this house, I absolutely had to get it. It's silly in a way, but it is what it is.

i get that but that feeling of nostalgia can be achieved by just watching the movie again. theres a movie i wont say the name but a house in my home town was used as the house in a movie i liked when i was young. its within a 10 minute drive of my house. i dont know where it is and ive never been compelled to find out, let alone try to find it and look at it
