The Old Place Restaurant from “Twin Peaks”

The Kirkeby Mansion from “The Beverly Hillbillies”
‘ Hold on to your hats, my fellow stalkers, ‘cause today’s post is going to be a long one. A few weeks ago, my mom called me up to ask about one of the answers provided in the “Ask Chris” column from the September 2012 issue of Los Angeles Magazine. In the column, an inquiring…

The Campbell House from “Soap”

‘ The Grim Cheaper and I were inundated with new shows we love during the Fall 2015 television season.
