Rod’s Grill from “Mad Men”
‘ During last year’s Haunted Hollywood postings, I blogged about the Mills View House in Monrovia, which was featured in both the Season 1 Halloween-themed episode of Picket Fences titled “Remembering Rosemary” and the 1986 horror flick House.

Lorraine’s House from “Back to the Future”
‘ Back to the Future fans are undoubtedly looking at the photo above thinking, ‘That’s not Lorraine Baines’ (Lea Thompson) house!’ But the Craftsman I am standing in front of, located at 1705 Bushnell Avenue in South Pasadena, did actually serve as her 1955 pad in the movie.

Now! Clothing from “L.A. Story”
‘ My second most-wanted location from the 1991 classic comedy L.A. Story was Now!, the ultra-hip clothing store with unisex dressing rooms where SanDeE* (my girl Sarah Jessica Parker) worked.

A Weekend in Newport
‘ My parents, the GC and I headed down to Newport Beach for the weekend to celebrate my dad’s birthday. We stayed at the Balboa Bay Club, which, as you can see above, was decorated quite beautifully for Christmas. If you are in the area, I HIGHLY recommend stopping by to see their lights. Anyway,…

Dionne’s House From “Clueless”
‘ One location that I have been searching for for what seems like forever is the huge castle-like abode where Cher’s (aka Alicia Silverstone’s) best friend Dionne (aka Stacey Dash) lived in one of my all time favorite comedies, 1995’s Clueless. Since I had been trying to track down the home for years and had…

Sarah Silverman’s Apartment Building from “The Sarah Silverman Program”
‘ A few months back, I got an email from a fellow stalker named Kate who wanted to know if I could track down the apartment building where Sarah Silverman lives on The Sarah Silverman Program.

The Barthman Sidewalk Clock
‘ It has been said that you shouldn’t look down when you walk. There are two places in Manhattan where you ought to keep your eyes on the pavement, though. I blogged about one, Hess Triangle in front of Village Cigars, on Wednesday. The other, a clock imbedded in concrete outside of what was once…
