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.

ARIA Resort & Casino “The Bachelor”
‘ Each season, The Bachelor reality series whisks its stars and contestants to various exotic, high-end locales. During Brad Womack’s second stint as The Bachelor, he and the ladies (including my girl Emily Maynard) headed to the ARIA Resort & Casino in Las Vegas.

The Baldwin Home from “For All Mankind”
‘ Apple TV+ is seriously setting the bar high when it comes to original content! Every program I’ve come across on the streaming platform has been excellent.

Mitch’s New York Condo from “The Morning Show”
‘ It’s been a minute (literally) since I’ve blogged about a location from The Morning Show, but, don’t worry, I’ve still got a few more up my sleeve – namely the modern building that served as beleaguered television host Mitch Kessler’s (Steve Carell) New York pied-à-terre. I had a hunch that the property was most…

24
‘ Today while driving in Pasadena, I happened to pass by one of those yellow filming signs I am so fond of seeing, and it turns out that the TV show 24 was filming at Saint Luke’”‘”‘s Hospital. So I immediately parked my car and ran onto the set in the hopes of seeing Keifer…

Chez Cherie Cooking School from “I Love New York”
‘ This year for Christmas, I decided to gift the Grim Cheaper with tickets to a cooking class. The GC is an absolutely FABULOUS cook, while I, on the other hand, can hardly crack an egg, as I mentioned in my January 2010 post about the home where Julia Child grew up. So I thought…
