Moving On Up . . .
‘ Over the next couple of weeks, I will only be blogging periodically due to my impending move. Unfortunately, that means no new post for today, but I should be back on Monday with a whole new location. Until next time, Happy Stalking! ‘

City Supper Club from “He’s Just Not That Into You”
‘ Back in February, I wrote a Scene it Before column for L.A. magazine covering a few locales from He’s Just Not That Into You in honor of the romcom’s 20th anniversary. While researching, I was thrilled to come across a mention on production designer Gae Buckley’s website that the supposed Baltimore-area City Supper Club,…

Larry’s Chili Dog from “The Office”
‘ Because fellow stalker Lavonna has been in town for the past few days and I have been doing some major stalking with her, today’s post is, unfortunately, going to be a short one. Sorry about that folks, but I do promise to be back tomorrow with a regular-sized write-up. And now, on with the…
