    Happy Presidents’ Day!

    ‘ I am taking today off to celebrate Presidents’ Day, but I wanted to wish all of my fellow stalkers a very happy holiday.  I hope you all had a fabulous three day weekend, as well.  I will be back tomorrow with a whole new post! Until next time, Happy Stalking! ‘

  • Andrew’s House from “A to Z”

    Andrew’s House from “A to Z”

    ‘ Networks have recently begun the practice of digitally releasing the pilot episodes of new shows weeks before their scheduled premiere dates.  I think it’s a genius maneuver and have been relishing watching them all.  One that I perused, on the recommendation of fellow stalker Owen, of the When Write Is Wrong blog, was A…

  • The “My So-Called Life” House

    The “My So-Called Life” House

    ‘ Since I blogged about the house which stood in for the Chase residence in the pilot episode of My So-Called Life yesterday, I thought I would write today about the house which was used in the remaining 18 episodes of the series.  I have actually blogged about this location once before, over three years…

  • Joe Jost’s from “Win a Date with Tad Hamilton”

    Joe Jost’s from “Win a Date with Tad Hamilton”

    ‘ As I’ve mentioned countless times before, Win a Date with Tad Hamilton is one of my all time favorite movies.  And I have long been dying to stalk the restaurant which stood in for Lil’ Dickens, the Frazier’s Bottom bar where Rosalie (aka Kate Bosworth), Pete (aka Topher Grace), Cathy (aka Ginnifer Goodwin), and…

  • 18th Street Coffee House from “Modern Family”

    18th Street Coffee House from “Modern Family”

    ‘ As I have said countless times before on this blog, there’s pretty much nothing I love more than a filming location that serves coffee.  So I thought stalking the 18th Street Coffee House in Santa Monica, which was featured in the Season 6 episode of Modern Family titled “Rash Decisions,” would be a pleasant…

  • Citizens Bank Building from “The Sting”

    Citizens Bank Building from “The Sting”

    ‘ Upon landing my new gig writing for Los Angeles magazine’s CityThink blog, I comprised a list of iconic SoCal locales to spotlight in my weekly column, one of which was the Santa Monica Pier Carousel from 1973’s The Sting.  The only problem was that I had never actually seen The Sting.  Neither had the…

  • Halloween 2016 at the Los Angeles Haunted Hayride

    Halloween 2016 at the Los Angeles Haunted Hayride

    ‘ I love anything and everything having to do with the ‘80s.  So when I started hearing buzz about Stanger Things, a horror series on Netflix with deep ‘80s undertones, this past summer, I knew I’d be hooked.  The Grim Cheaper and I finally sat down to binge-watch it in August and immediately became obsessed,…

  • Howard Stern’s Building

    Howard Stern’s Building

    ‘ Why oh why did when I am already back on the West Coast??  Apparently Howard Stern is very upset that Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck have moved onto the same block where he resides. While I was in New York this past week, I was obsessively keeping my eyes peeled at every children’”‘”‘s playground…

  • Nuart Theatre from “Foul Play”

    Nuart Theatre from “Foul Play”

    ‘ I was hesitant to include today’s locale in with my Haunted Hollywood postings being that the Nuart Theatre is neither haunted nor a horror movie location, per se.  But the small arthouse venue did cameo in one of my favorite thrillers/comedies – 1978’s Foul Play – as the site of a murder, no less,…

    Tom Kelley’s Photography Studio – The Site of Marilyn Monroe’s Nude Pictorial

    ‘ A few weeks ago, while out doing some Oscar stalking with Mike, from MovieShotsLA, the two of us visited a convenience store on Hollywood Boulevard which just so happened to be selling the latest edition of fave star map “Movie Star Homes and Notorious Crime Scenes”.  So, I, of course, just had to buy…
