The Apple Pan from “Beverly Hills, 90210”
‘ While the Grim Cheaper and I were out and about doing some stalking in the West L.A. area two weekends ago, we happened to pass by The Apple Pan, the exterior of which masqueraded as the original Peach Pit on fave show Beverly Hills, 90210. Finding ourselves both hungry, we decided to pop in…

Kelly Gulch from “Parks and Recreation”
‘ Right next door to Pat’s Topanga Grill, which I blogged about on Tuesday, is an oft-filmed-at residence known as Kelly Gulch. Fellow stalker Mike, from MovieShotsLA, had mentioned the property to me back in early December while the two of us were in the midst of our hunt for the Topanga Canyon house where…

Peg Entwistle’s Former House
‘ Another location that I learned about thanks to the fabulous Hollywood Death and Scandal Sites book, which was penned by fellow stalker E.J. of The Movieland Directory, was the one-time Beachwood Drive home of Peg Entwistle, the tragic blonde actress who only achieved fame after her 1932 suicide, in which she jumped to her…

The Cobb Estate from “Phantasm”

And while I stalked the location shortly thereafter, for whatever reason I never got…

The VA Sepulveda Ambulatory Care Center aka the American Embassy from “Argo”

This year, the DVDs waiting in my mailbox were Silver Linings Playbook (my pick for best movie of the year),…

The Canadian Ambassador’s Residence from “Argo”
‘ Last week, while scanning through Argo to make screen captures for my post on the Veterans Affairs Sepulveda Ambulatory Care Center in North Hills, which stood in for the Tehran American Embassy in the flick, I got completely sucked in and had to force myself to turn the thing off. Then, the Grim Cheaper…

The O’Neill House from "Beverly Hills, 90210"
‘ While perusing the article “The Ultimate Guide to Hidden L.A.” in the February 2013 issue of Los Angeles Magazine, I came across a blurb about the O’Neill House in Beverly Hills – one of Southern California’s most unique residences – and recognized the place immediately. I had seen the property featured in a production…

Happy Veterans Day!
‘ I would like to wish a very Happy Veterans Day to all of my fellow stalkers and I would also like to say a heartfelt thank you to all of those who have served our military, including the vast majority of my family members. I will be taking today off in honor of Veterans…

The Hyatt Regency Valencia from “Little Miss Sunshine”
‘ A couple of months ago, the Grim Cheaper and I sat down to re-watch fave 2006 dramedy Little Miss Sunshine and I just about fell out of my chair when I spotted the Hyatt Regency Valencia pop up in a brief scene. I had actually stalked and blogged about the Santa Clarita-area hotel way back…
