CLEVELAND -- A Cleveland home that was featured in the holiday classic, "A Christmas Story," may soon become a tourist attraction for fans of the movie.
The West 11th Street house occupied by Ralphie and the other characters in the movie has been sold on eBay to a California man who is considering turning the home into "A Christmas Story" museum.
The movie was filmed in the Tremont neighborhood in 1983.
Mark Codespoti rents the house now, but that may not be for much longer.
"I'll have to pay to take a tour where I used to live," said Codespoti.
Cleveland television station WEWS spoke with Jim Moralevitz, a Tremont resident who had his moment of fame in the movie.
Moralevitz played a deliveryman who delivered the famous woman's leg lamp to the home.
The house sold for $150,000.
