The Stuart Building from “That Thing You Do!”
‘ Back in early October, upon returning home from doing some That Thing You Do! stalking in Orange (you can read my posts on the locations I stalked here, here and here), I popped in my DVD of the 1996 flick to re-watch it for the first time in years. I was absolutely shocked –…

Valentino from “Pretty Woman”
‘ Pretty Woman is one of the most well-documented movies out there when it comes to locations.

Ashton Kutcher’s House from “A Lot Like Love”

As I mentioned in last Friday’s post about the Washoe Country Courthouse, during the…

The King Edward Hotel from “In Time”
‘ I am a sucker for a grand staircase! My affinity likely stems from the movie Titanic, which I was obsessed with back in the day. Whatever the impetus, I am drawn to them like a moth to a flame. Case in point – while researching the Surfridge neighborhood for this 2013 post, I was…
