Happy 30th Anniversary to “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off”

Posted on June 11, 2016 at 8:00 am

30 years ago today, Ferris Bueller took the day off and in our hearts we all went with him. While kids at school were listening to Ben Stein drone on about tariffs and voo-doo economics, three kids with last names for first names were enjoying the Art Institute of Chicago, a baseball game, fine dining, and a parade!

The John Hughes movie has become a permanent part of our culture, featured this year along in a Super Bowl commercial and a post-credit scene in “Deadpool.”
