  • Happy New Year!

    ‘ I would like to wish a very happy new year to all of my fellow stalkers!  Since today is being considered a holiday, I decided to take it off, too!  Come Wednesday, I will resume my regular postings.  As was the case last year, because I am writing for several other websites, I will…

  • Clown Dog Restaurant from “Don’t Tell Mom the Babysitter’s Dead”

    Clown Dog Restaurant from “Don’t Tell Mom the Babysitter’s Dead”

    ‘ UPDATE – I just drove by this location last week and was shocked to discover that the entire thing had been completely torn down.  The only part of it left standing is the All American Burger sign pictured below.  🙁  A Chipotle restaurant is currently being built in its place. So incredibly sad!  I will leave this post up, though, for those…

  • “Christmas with the Kranks” Studio Locations

    “Christmas with the Kranks” Studio Locations

    ‘ Since I have been on such a Christmas with the Kranks kick as of late, I thought I’d finish out this year’s Yuletide posts by blogging about the movie’s studio locations.  The 2004 comedy was unusual in that it utilized the backlots of not one, not two, but three different L.A.-area studios! The main…

  • The Prince Restaurant from “New Girl”

    The Prince Restaurant from “New Girl”

    ‘ One location that has been at the top of my To-Stalk list for what seems like ages now is The Prince – a historic and oft-filmed-at 1920s-era eatery located in Koreatown.  And while I had never actually dined there, I had long been familiar with the place’s interior thanks to its many appearances onscreen. …

    The Apple Pan from “Beverly Hills, 90210”

    ‘ While the Grim Cheaper and I were out and about doing some stalking in the West L.A. area two weekends ago, we happened to pass by The Apple Pan, the exterior of which masqueraded as the original Peach Pit on fave show Beverly Hills, 90210.  Finding ourselves both hungry, we decided to pop in…

  • Disneyland’s Club 33

    Disneyland’s Club 33

    ‘ I must preface today’s blog with an apology, as this is one post that is far too long overdue!  Well over six months ago – yes, I am talking about waaaaaaaaaay back in July of 2009 – my good friend and fellow stalker Kerry invited me to share in her birthday celebration at the…

    New “L.A.” Mag Post – About the Queen Mary

  • Charles W. Eliot Middle School from “The Mentalist”

    Charles W. Eliot Middle School from “The Mentalist”

    ‘ Located directly across the street from the Larry Crowne apartment building in Altadena, which I blogged about last Friday, is Charles W. Eliot (not Elliot) Middle School – a very unique and arresting structure that looms over the neighborhood thanks to its large fortress-like bell tower.  My veterinarian is located just up the street…

  • The Correct “A Nightmare on Elm Street” Bridge

    The Correct “A Nightmare on Elm Street” Bridge

    ‘ While stalking the Venice Canals (the history of which you can read about on yesterday’s post about Lana Clarkson’s former home) with Mike, from MovieShotsLA, last July, he mentioned that there was some misinformation floating around online about the Venice Canal bridge that appeared in the 1984 horror flick A Nightmare on Elm Street. …

  • Happy Martin Luther King Jr. Day!

    ‘ I will be taking today off for Martin Luther King Jr. Day, but will be back on Wednesday with a whole new locale!  I hope everyone has a safe holiday. ‘
