    Patrick Swayze’s Former Apartment

    ‘ Ever since the Grim Cheaper purchased the Dirty Dancing: Limited Keepsake Edition DVD for me this past Christmas, I have become just a tad bit obsessed with finding out more behind-the-scenes information about the movie.  So, the other day I picked up Patrick Swayze and wife Lisa Niemi’s autobiography which is titled The Time…

    Another . . . Day . . . Off!

    ‘ Because I spent all day yesterday with fellow stalkers Lavonna, Beth, Melissa, Kim, and Sandy, who were in town from Cincinnati for a little stalking vacay, and Miss Pinky Lovejoy, of the Thinking Pink blog, I did not have time to write a new post for today.  But I do promise to be back…

    Annie’s House from “Sleepless in Seattle”

    ‘ We all have those movies – the ones that affected us so much upon first viewing, they left a lasting imprint on our hearts.  Sleepless in Seattle is one such movie for me.  As I mentioned in this 2010 post about the houseboat from the 1993 romcom, I still remember exactly where I was…

    The George Peabody Library from “Sleepless in Seattle”

    ‘ The Grim Cheaper has never been much interested in filming locations, as I’ve mentioned many times before.  He does love stalking them with me, though, as doing so usually involves seeing historic and unique spots.  One site that absolutely bowled him over during our trip back east last September was the George Peabody Library…

  • The “Empty Nest” House

    The “Empty Nest” House

    ‘ Today’s post is a looooooong-time coming, friends! Easily the location I get asked to track down most often is the supposed Miami, Florida-area house where Dr. Harry Weston (Richard Mulligan) lived on the television series Empty Nest. I have searched for the contemporary two-story residence off-and-on over the years, but never had any luck. …

    ‘ My best friend, Robin, and his family are currently in town visiting from Switzerland for the week and I could NOT be more excited.  We have rented an uh-ma-zing house in Hollywood for their stay and are all looking forward to countless adventures together over the next seven days.  Although Robin and I see…
