The Chinese Foooood Drive-Through from “Dude, Where’s My Car?”
‘ One location that I have been begging fellow stalker Chas to find for what seems like months now is the “Chinese Foooood” restaurant from the 2000 movie Dude, Where’s My Car? As I’ve mentioned in the past, Dude is one of my very favorite comedies and a few years back my best friend Robin…

The “Shadow of a Doubt” Remake House
‘ Let’s be honest – remakes are rarely, if ever, good. Especially if they’re of the made-for-television movie variety. Despite that fact, when I heard that the house from the 1991 made-for-television remake of Shadow of a Doubt was located right across the street from the pad featured in the 1943 original, I just had…

Màs Malo from “Scandal”
‘ Los Angeles is often ridiculed for having no history – or no appreciation of its history. Demolition of the Ambassador Hotel aside, I don’t find that to be true. There is history – well-preserved history – around pretty much ever corner. You just have to know where to look. Case in point – Màs…

Mountain View Mausoleum from “Lucifer”
‘ Given my proclivity for graveyards and extensive knowledge of Los Angeles (especially the Pasadena area), it is shocking that I only learned of Altadena’s Mountain View Mausoleum a few months ago.

Taking a Break . . .
‘ Unfortunately, I have no blog to publish today. 🙁 I had to rush my dad to the emergency room bright and early yesterday morning and wound up spending the entire day and most of the night with him in the hospital. Which normally wouldn’t have precluded me from writing a post, but for some…

Pickwick Bowl from “Parks and Recreation”
‘ While watching the Season 4 episode of Parks and Recreation titled “Bowling for Votes” back in June, I wondered aloud about at which bowling alley filming had taken place. The Grim Cheaper, who happened to hear me, looked up from his ever-present laptop and said, “That’s Pickwick Bowl – part of Pickwick Gardens –…

The St. Regis Hotel
‘ Last year while visiting Manhattan, I dragged my boyfriend out to the posh St. Regis New York hotel on 55th Street. I had wanted to see the St. Regis not so much because it is an oft-used filming location, but because my girl Marilyn Monroe stayed there back in 1954 while on location in…

How I Became Prince of a Town Called Bel Air
‘ Got a challenge from Byron a couple of weeks ago to find the house from the Fresh Prince of Bel Air. According to several Hollywood tour books, including my fave, the location on the left was the home used in the filming of the TV sitcom. However, after watching a few clips of Fresh…

Mayo, Schmayo!
‘ Because yesterday was quite possibly one of the worst days in my entire life, I was not able to write a post for today. I had such high hopes for the Mayo Clinic finding a cure for my dad’”‘”‘s illness, but sadly it has become blindingly apparent that the facility is completely incompetent and inept. In…

Big Oaks Lodge from “Beverly Hills, 90210”
‘ Before I left on my New York vacation just about two months ago, Mike, from MovieShotsLA, and I spent a day together stalking in and around the San Fernando Valley. And even though we had a long list of places to stalk, the location we were most excited about seeing had to be a…
