The Town House Motel from “Vacation”
‘ As I mentioned in last Wednesday’s post, fellow stalker Owen, of the When Write Is Wrong blog, recently got on a kick of tracking down missing locations from his all-time favorite comedy, the 1983 classic National Lampoon’s Vacation.

Pickwick’s Pub from “The Office”

And while there is actually a real life Poor Richard’s Pub…

The Mercantile from “Major Crimes”

The King Edward Hotel from “In Time”

Celeb’s Coffee of Choice
‘ While we all know that Britney Spears can’”‘”‘t live without her daily Starbucks ration, it seems that most other celebs in the LA area much prefer a smaller coffeehouse chain called Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf.

Hyatt Regency Century Plaza Hotel from “The Ugly Truth”
‘ It has been said that Los Angeles has no regard for its history. Today’s post is a testament to that assertion. On March 1st of this year, the doors of the Hyatt Regency Century Plaza Hotel were closed in order for a massive remodel and renovation process to take place. Though the building is…

Patapsco Valley State Park from “Serial”
‘ Patapsco State Park. Those three words, the name of a popular Baltimore-area recreation spot, shouldn’t be part of the lexicon of this California native.
