The Very First Starbucks Store
‘ While this probably goes without saying, the location that I was most excited about stalking while vacationing in Seattle this past May was the very first Starbucks store at Pike Place Market. As I’ve mentioned countless times in the past – and as anyone who knows me even slightly well can attest to –…

Villa Sorriso – The Restaurant Where Michael Jackson’s “Celebration of Life” Reception Was Held
‘ One location that I stalked quite a while back, but, for whatever reason, have yet to blog about is Villa Sorriso Ristorante – the Italian eatery where the Jackson family hosted the September 3, 2009 “Celebration of Life” reception for pop star Michael Jackson following his burial at Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Glendale. …

The Willmore from “Rosewood”

The Great Quake of ’08!

Dan Aykroyd’s Former Haunted House
‘ Another spooky locale that I learned about thanks to fellow stalker E.J., of The Movieland Directory, and his fabulous book Hollywood Death and Scandal Sites was the longtime home of Ghostbuster Dan Aykroyd and his wife, actress Donna Dixon. The residence piqued my interest due to Aykroyd’s claim of numerous hauntings taking place there…

My “Sex and the City” Bachelorette Party
‘ As I mentioned in Tuesday’s blog, this past weekend I headed up to Northern California to celebrate my final days of singlehood with a bachelorette party in San Francisco. My friends Nat and Kylee planned the entire celebration and until I actually arrived at the party site, I had absolutely no idea of what…

Having a Carrie Bradshaw Moment
‘ I have three pretty big articles due in the coming days for both Discover Los Angeles and L.A. Magazine, and am having a bit of a Carrie Bradshaw moment. I can finally utter her famous words, “I’m on deadline!” Because of said deadline(s), and an upcoming trip to L.A. – the trip is actually…
