    My Favorite Pasadena Places – Part II

    ‘ As promised, today’s blog is a continuation of my top ten favorite places in Pasadena. If you missed the first installment, you can check it out here. And now, on with the post! (Big THANK YOU to Mike, from MovieShotsLA, for taking the above photograph of Pasadena City Hall. I swear, that guy takes…

  • Le Borghese Apartments

    Le Borghese Apartments

    ‘ While Mike, from MovieShotsLA, was cyberstalking the ‘”‘”‘Til There Was You  apartment building a few weeks ago, he came across a comment on a website which stated that the very same building from ‘”‘”‘Til There Was You  was also used in the 2001 David Lynch thriller Mulholland Dr.   Well, after doing a bit more research, Mike and I discovered that information is actually…

  • Kyoto Gardens from “Her”

    Kyoto Gardens from “Her”

    ‘ As a kid, I was pretty much never without a book in hand.  (Truth be told, not much has changed since.)  One of my favorite childhood tomes was Frances Hodgson Burnett’s 1911 masterpiece The Secret Garden.  Reading it made me want nothing more than to unearth a lush hidden idyll of my own.  That…

  • Christmas Tree Lane

    Christmas Tree Lane

    ‘ Last December, I blogged about a house in Altadena known as the Balian Mansion, or, as I like to call it, the real Clark W. Griswold house (pictured above).  And even though the mansion has appeared only briefly onscreen – in the movie Obsessed and in an early episode of Beverly Hills, 90210 –…

  • 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…

  • Liberace’s Former Home

    Liberace’s Former Home

    ‘ A couple of weeks ago, while doing some stalking in the Valley, I became a bit obsessed with locating the home where legendary pianist Liberace lived back in the 1950s.  I first heard about this location, ironically enough, from comedian and Whose Line Is It Anyway? star Ryan Stiles, who also owned the property…

  • Lucy’s El Adobe Cafe

    Lucy’s El Adobe Cafe

    ‘ Two Mondays ago, after Mike, from MovieShotsLA, and I finished our tour of Paramount Studios in Hollywood (which I still have yet to blog about), the two of us headed across the street to grab a bite to eat at a little restaurant that has been at the top of my To-Stalk list for…

  • The Glendale Amtrak Station from “Bulletproof”

    The Glendale Amtrak Station from “Bulletproof”

    ‘ I don’t know about y’all, but this stalker is so darn excited for Halloween that I am practically bursting at the seams!  I have already decorated my apartment with all things orange and black (much to the Grim Cheaper’s chagrin) and can hardly wait for Monday when I can begin my Haunted Hollywood postings. …

  • William McKinley High School from “Glee”

    William McKinley High School from “Glee”

    ‘ My Hollywood obsession as of late is the new Fox musical dramedy Glee.  Actually, stating that I am obsessed with the series is a rather gross understatement.  To say it’s more of an all-out, withdrawal-symptom inducing addiction would be closer to the truth.  In fact, I don’t think I’ve been this enamored of a…
