This set visit was held in late August 2011.
Driving into Plano, Illinois, you’d never guess that the United States’ third most populated city was only an hour from its borders. With a population just under 6000, Plano is the definition of Small Town, USA. It’s even the birthplace of the mechanical harvester that led innovation in farming technology and helped farmers increase their crop size. It’s fitting, then, that Warner Brothers would opt to use this locale as their shooting location for Smallville, Kansas in the upcoming Superman franchise reboot, Man of Steel.
Riding into Plano and looking out the window, it’s clear that the town’s residents are more than happy to accommodate Hollywood, whose presence has drawn in Superman enthusiasts from across the country and helped the flow of the town’s economy. The local businesses are taking advantage of it, plastering their storefronts with welcome messages for tourists boasting Kryptonian S-Shields.
