    Dinah’s Family Restaurant from “Modern Family”

    ‘ While I primarily love stalking filming locations of the residential variety, restaurants come in at a close second.  So when my friend Owen, of the When Write Is Blog, recently told me about Dinah’s Family Restaurant, a historic Westchester eatery that was featured in a Season 3 episode of Modern Family, I ran right…

  • Taking the Day Off

    ‘ My dad has unfortunately been in the hospital since Sunday evening, so I did not have time to write a new post for today.  Hopefully I will be back tomorrow, though, with a whole new location. Until next time, Happy Stalking!  🙂 ‘

  • Mission Street from “Little Black Book”

    Mission Street from “Little Black Book”

    ‘ Back in November 2010, a fellow stalker named Clayton wrote a comment on my post about Fair Oaks Pharmacy from Mr. Deeds (which you can read here) alerting me that fave movie Little Black Book and the 1985 classic Back to the Future had also done some filming at the 50s-style soda fountain.  And…

    A Weeklong Visit to L.A. with Friends!

    ‘ I am heading to L.A. today to spend the next week with my friends Kim and Katie who are visiting from Kentucky (that’s Kim above during a visit last November).  We have a ton of fun stalking activities planned (you can follow along on Instagram) that will not leave any time for blogging, so…

  • Whitney Houston’s Drug Bust

    Whitney Houston’s Drug Bust

    ‘ Back in January of 2000, Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown had a little scuffle with the authorities at Keahole Kona International Airport. So, since I just happen to be in Kona, I had to do a little airport stalking. 🙂 It seems Ms. Houston was departing from Kona after a vacation on the Big…

  • The “Sylvester Stallone” House from “Pretty Woman”

    The “Sylvester Stallone” House from “Pretty Woman”

    ‘ A couple of weeks ago, while trying to figure out in what movie I had spotted L’Orangerie, aka Chez Quis restaurant from Ferris Bueller’s Day Off (which, maddeningly, I still have yet to determine, by the way!), I started scanning through the 1990 romantic comedy Pretty Woman and found myself wondering why I had…

  • Tamale Heaven from “Beverly Hills, 90210”

    Tamale Heaven from “Beverly Hills, 90210”

    ‘ One location that Mike, from MovieShotsLA, has been begging me to blog about for over a year now is the Canoga Park burger restaurant that stood in for Tamale Heaven in the Season Two episode of Beverly Hills, 90210 entitled “Ashes to Ashes”.  In real life that restaurant is named Michael’s Burgers and even…

  • Rise N Grind from “Veep”

    Rise N Grind from “Veep”

    ‘ I have never been one for New Year’s resolutions.  That being said, in 2018 I am hoping to regularly exercise, be kinder (to myself and others), drink more water and less champagne, and cut down on my daily latte regimen.  The last one is going to be much easier said than done.  No matter…

  • The “Easy A” House

    The “Easy A” House

    ‘ The Easy A location that I was most excited about stalking while in the Ojai area almost two years ago was, not surprisingly, the charming clapboard residence where Olive Penderghast (Emma Stone) lived with her unique family (notice they are all named after a food of some sort) – dad Dill (Stanley Tucci), mom…

    A Haircut With Nicole from Shear Genius

    ‘ This year, while visiting New York, my mom, of course, booked her annual haircut appointment with famed stylist Nick Arrojo, from the TLC makeover show What Not To Wear.   As I first blogged back in December of 2007, for years my mom has been absolutely obsessed with the hair guru and had long dreamed…
