Can you really do "Ferris Buellers' Day Off?"

As an adopted Chicagoan and longtime John Hughes devotee, I’ve always wondered whether it’s possible to do everything Ferris accomplished as he dodges school in the 1986 film. He knocks out a trip to the top of the Sears Tower, the Chicago Board of Trade, a fancy French lunch, a Cubs game, the Art Institute, the Von Steuben Day parade and the beach, then races on foot through his North Shore suburb to get home by 6 p.m. Even with the help of movie magic, it seems like a stretch.
If you’re going to think like Ferris, though, you have to believe that no challenge is insurmountable. With the help of my friends Vasilios Niphoratos and Alyssa Edes, who played Cameron and Sloane, respectively, we set out to check off Ferris’s itinerary.

Not the first time that has been tried. I think we've talked about it here before, when some other attempt went sufficiently viral that it got mentioned in backwater libertarian-infested dens if iniquity like this one. I wonder if that writer was unaware of the previous attempts, or if he's content to let people think it was his zany idea to replicate the movie.
