    The Inside of the Walsh House from “Beverly Hills, 90210”

    ‘ Last Friday, Mike, from MovieShotsLA, and I set out to do a little Pasadena stalking. Who knew that our day would hold the stalking adventure to end all stalking adventures! Even as I sit here, days later, writing these words, I am pinching myself, unsure if the whole thing even really happened. But since…

    McGee’s Pub – The Inspiration for MacLaren’s on “How I Met Your Mother”

    ‘ I have never been a film location purist.  I am just as happy visiting spots that have appeared onscreen as I am touring those that have provided inspiration for sets – as evidenced here, here and here.  So while in New York in April 2016 I just had to pop by McGee’s Pub, aka…

  • Rest Easy, Luke

    Rest Easy, Luke

    ‘ Coy Luther Perry III – I scrawled that name in my high school notebooks more times than I care to admit, along with his better known moniker, Luke Perry.  My bedroom was also wallpapered with images of the dreamy teen idol.  I even slept on Beverly Hills, 90210 sheets!  And, at the age of…

  • Lake View Medical Center from “Beverly Hills, 90210”

    Lake View Medical Center from “Beverly Hills, 90210”

    ‘ In researching today’s post, I put in several hours scanning through countless Season 1 and Season 2 episodes of Beverly Hills, 90210.  Time well spent as far as I’m concerned!    This was all due to a comment left on my blog last October by a reader named Vanessa Laine who said that the…

  • The Numb3rs House

    The Numb3rs House

    ‘ Ever since the pilot episode of the TV show aired back in 2005, I was totally obsessed with finding the location of Charlie’”‘”‘s large Craftsman style house. American Craftsman Style architecture became popular towards the end of the 19th Century and usually combines huge front porches, handcrafted woodwork and clean lines. Craftsman houses are…

    Nick’s (Almost) Apartment from “The Crush”

    ‘ Just a mile and a half away from the Forrester mansion, which appeared in the 1993 thriller The Crush and which I blogged about yesterday, is the supposed Seattle-area apartment house where Nick Eliot (aka Cary Elwes) tried to rent a unit after discovering that his current landlords’ 14-year old daughter Adrian (aka Alicia…

    Dylan’s House from “Beverly Hills, 90210”

    ‘ Still licking our wounds this past weekend after finding out that the Walsh Family garage had recently been dismantled, Mike, from MovieShotsLA, and I decided to head over to Dylan McKay’s house to do some more Beverly Hills, 90210 stalking.  And, as fate would have it, the real life owner of Dylan’s home, an…

  • The Peach Pit

    The Peach Pit

    ‘ Got a comment Tuesday night from Kevin who asked if I had a picture of the Peach Pit location from 90210. I briefly blogged about the Peach Pit on my first 90210 post a few months ago, but at the time I didn’”‘”‘t have a picture of the filming site. In reality, there were…

  • Westfield Culver City from “Girls Just Want to Have Fun”

    Westfield Culver City from “Girls Just Want to Have Fun”

    ‘ Some filming locations are maddeningly elusive.  One that remained a thorn in my side for ages was the mall where Janey Glenn (Sarah Jessica Parker) and Lynne Stone (Helen Hunt) shopped in Girls Just Want to Have Fun, which, for those who haven’t been paying attention over the years, is one of my all-time…

    Esperanza Resort

    ‘ Another celebrity hot spot that my husband and I stalked while honeymooning in Cabo San Lucas last week was the world-famous Esperanza Resort hotel – a place my girl Jen A. has checked into frequently over the years.   The 17-acre property, which is a member of the Leading Hotels of the World, is consistently…
