“The Awakening” Sculpture
I am not typically a big art person. This is mainly due to the fact that I love to be outside, especially when on vacation, so I don’t find myself frequenting museums often. While researching Washington, D.C.-area attractions prior to my trip to the East Coast last September, though, I came across some information about…

The Marsh House from “Happy Land”
Since we’re on the subject of McDonald Avenue (you can read Wednesday’s post about the McDonald Mansion from Pollyanna here), I figured I should write about another of its famous homes. While doing research on the picturesque Santa Rosa street, one of the area’s most oft-filmed spots, prior to my trip up to Northern California…

The McDonald Mansion from “Pollyanna”
I am fully aware that I have a hyperbolic nature. I use words like “favorite,” “best,” and “most” a LOT. Caps, too, for that matter. I wouldn’t say that I am an exaggerator, though. I just happen to like a lot of things. Case in point, I have more “all-time favorite” movies than I can…

The Conservatory Garden from “The Girl on the Train”
One of my favorite places in all of Manhattan is, surprisingly, not a stalking location. Or at least it wasn’t up until recently. The Conservatory Garden, a six-acre oasis in East Harlem situated across from the Museum of the City of New York, is easily the most picturesque park I have ever set foot in. …

Donna’s House from “Rosewood”
I’ve never met a police procedural I didn’t like. When one centers around an insanely charming male lead who constantly (and comically) spars with his cynical female partner, it’s a guarantee it will make my top ten. Such was the case with the FOX drama Rosewood, which began airing in 2015. For those who don’t…

Orange Army-Navy from “That Thing You Do!”
Another day, another That Thing You Do! locale. It is one of my all-time favorite movies, after all! In early December, the Grim Cheaper and I found ourselves in the O.C. and decided to head out to Old Towne Orange to do some Christmas shopping. While perusing the charming streets and boutiques, I was reminded…

The Old Towne Orange Starbucks from “That Thing You Do!”
“We met at Starbucks. Not at the same Starbucks, but we saw each other at different Starbucks across the street from each other.” So says Meg Swan (Parker Posey) about meeting her husband, Hamilton (Michael Hitchcock), in the 2000 comedy Best in Show. (You can watch the hilarious scene here.) Meg might well have been…

Happy New Year!
I would like to wish a very happy new year to all of my fellow stalkers! Since today is being considered a holiday, I decided to take it off, too! Come Wednesday, I will resume my regular postings. As was the case last year, because I am writing for several other websites, I will only…
