  • The “Beaches” Mansion

    The “Beaches” Mansion

    ‘ One location that I have been asked about repeatedly ever since I first started my blog almost four years ago (and I CANNOT even believe that it has been that long!!!) is the large Tudor-style mansion where Hillary Whitney Essex (aka Barbara Hershey) lived in the 1988 tearjerker Beaches.  And while it had long…

  • The Last Bookstore from “Gone Girl”

    The Last Bookstore from “Gone Girl”

    ‘ I love bookstores – and books.  Actual books, not the digitized versions.  You will never catch me reading on a Kindle.  I like the feel of a book in my hands, the physical act of turning the pages and the smell.  I love, love, love the smell of books.  The Grim Cheaper always makes…

  • The Great Wall Chinese Restaurant from “I Love You, Man”

    The Great Wall Chinese Restaurant from “I Love You, Man”

    ‘ In Pretty Woman, Edward Lewis (Richard Gere) states that very few people surprise him.  I could say the same about filming locations.  One that did recently surprise me, though, was The Great Wall Chinese Restaurant in Reseda.  For years I had been under the impression that the engagement party scene from the 2009 comedy…

  • The Coffee Gallery from “The Office”

    The Coffee Gallery from “The Office”

    ‘ A few weeks ago, Mike, from MovieShotsLA, told me about a coffee house in Altadena named the Coffee Gallery which was featured in the Season 4 episode of The Office titled “Chair Model”.  He figured that because the place was both a coffee shop and a filming location that it would be right up…

  • Rain, Rain, Go Away!!

    Rain, Rain, Go Away!!

    ‘ I am sad to say that I had a lot more luck last year stalking the 79th Annual Academy Awards than I did this year at the 80th Annual Academy Awards. 🙁 We did have some fun, though! Yesterday morning, bright and early, my boyfriend and I headed to the Kodak Theatre at the…

  • Taking the Day Off

    ‘ My dad has unfortunately been in the hospital since Sunday evening, so I did not have time to write a new post for today.  Hopefully I will be back tomorrow, though, with a whole new location. Until next time, Happy Stalking!  🙂 ‘

  • Joyce’s House from “Little Black Book”

    Joyce’s House from “Little Black Book”

    ‘ Last week, while doing research on locations from fave movie Little Black Book, I decided to watch the “Live & On-Air: The Making of Little Black Book” DVD special feature in which the filming of a deleted scene happened to be shown taking place in front of a house that I immediately recognized.  I…

  • The Haunted House from “The Goldbergs”

    The Haunted House from “The Goldbergs”

    ‘ There’s literally nothing better than being scared at Halloween!  In my mind, at least.  Terrifying movies?  Yes!  Spooky decorations?  Yes!  Haunted houses?  Yaaaas!  Especially haunted houses!  Too bad Adam F. Goldberg (Sean Giambrone) doesn’t share my sentiment.  In the Season 3 episode of The Goldbergs titled “Couples Costume,” the teen only begrudgingly visits a…

  • It’s A Wrap!

    It’s A Wrap!

    ‘ Got an email the other day from fellow stalker Heather who told me about a store in Burbank named It’”‘”‘s A Wrap that sells clothing, props, and memorabilia from recently wrapped movies and television shows!  Being that the store sounded right up my alley, I immediately ran out to stalk it!!  🙂  It’”‘”‘s A Wrap has been in…

  • Pete’s Tavern

    Pete’s Tavern

    ‘ Yet another Sex and the City location that I stalked while in New York last month was a spot that touts itself as New York’s oldest continuously operating bar and restaurant.  And while there are actually quite a few watering holes claiming to be New York’s most long-established, Pete’s distinguishes itself thanks to the…
