CLEVELAND - Ralphie Parker’s humble abode now has a new owner just in time for the holiday season.
Josh Dickerson is now the owner and managing partner of A Christmas Story House & Museum – a three-bedroom residence where the 1983 movie, "A Christmas Story" was filmed.
The cult classic follows the story of the Parker family, featuring the main character Ralphie — a 9-year-old boy who wants an "official Red Ryder BB gun" for Christmas — while the grown-ups in his life constantly and not so lovingly remind him: "You’ll shoot your eye out!"
