Taking the Week Off!
‘ I will be spending the upcoming week in the Desert visiting my parents, so I will be taking the next five days off from blogging. But I did have a fabulous pre-Oscar week during which I finally got a picture with my “unicorn”, Miss Kristin Cavallari, who, I am very happy to report, was…

The Drug Store and Beauty Salon from “Beautiful Girls”
‘ Another Stillwater location that I was incredibly excited about stalking was the drugstore where Gina Barrisano (aka Rosie O’Donnell) spewed a very choicely-worded rant at Willie Conway (aka Timothy Hutton) and Tommy “Birdman” Rowland (aka Matt Dillon) over their superficial treatment of women in fave movie Beautiful Girls.

Mawby’s Bar from “Flashdance” – An Update
‘ Typically, when a vacant space is built out for a production, it is dismantled as soon as filming wraps – though sometimes stranger things, ahem, do happen. Take Gwinnett Place, for instance. A wing of the largely deserted Duluth, Georgia shopping center was transformed (with breathtaking attention to detail, I might add) into Hawkins,…

Jim and Pam’s Wedding Church from “The Office”
