Hilton Checkers Hotel
‘ A few months ago, Mike, from MovieShotsLA, scored the two of us invites to a party and silent auction being held by the Location Managers Guild of America. We had a fab time at the party and got to meet many location scouts, none of whom had any idea that there were people like us out…

The Numb3rs House
‘ Ever since the pilot episode of the TV show aired back in 2005, I was totally obsessed with finding the location of Charlie’”‘”‘s large Craftsman style house.

We devoured the three episodes that have aired…

While watching the first episode, titled “From the Ashes…

The Tire House from “Pee-wee’s Big Holiday”
‘ Today’s locale is becoming quite the prolific film star! I’ve blogged about the residence at 800 Adelaine Avenue in South Pasadena previously – twice, in fact. It first came on my radar thanks to its appearance in the 2008 comedy Bedtime Stories, as I chronicled here. Then, in 2015, I noticed it pop up…

The Family House
‘ My good friend and fellow stalker Kerry is a huge fan of the 1976 television show and I just found out that while she has stalked the home used in the series several times, she doesn’”‘”‘t have any photographs of it. So I just had to go out and stalk the house for her…

Dancing in the Friends’ Fountain!
‘ I’”‘”‘ve done some pretty cool things in my life, but I must say that one of my favorite and most memorable adventures was dancing in the fountain that was used in the opening credits of ! Back in 2002, I attended a seminar put on by my acting school that just happened to be…
