    The Poppa’s Popcorn House!

    ‘ Quite a few months back, I challenged Mike, from MovieShotsLA, to find the house the Ashe family moved into in the Season 2 episode of Beverly Hills, 90210  entitled “Ashes to Ashes”.  In the episode, the African-American family moves in to a home just down the street from the Walshes, causing quite a stir in their…

    Pickwick Bowl from “Parks and Recreation”

    ‘ While watching the Season 4 episode of Parks and Recreation titled “Bowling for Votes” back in June, I wondered aloud about at which bowling alley filming had taken place.  The Grim Cheaper, who happened to hear me, looked up from his ever-present laptop and said, “That’s Pickwick Bowl – part of Pickwick Gardens –…

    Tacos Jalisco from “A Star Is Born”

    ‘ Stumbling upon filmings used to be a regular occurrence when I lived in L.A.  Sadly, that is not the case in Palm Springs.  So I was thrilled – and shocked – to happen upon A Star Is Born being shot at desert eatery Tacos Jalisco while on a Windmill Tour with the Grim Cheaper…

    The Daily Dose Café from “Scandal”

    ‘ UPDATE – After closing and then reopening briefly as Café Société in 2018, this spot shuttered for good early last year.  It currently remains vacant. There’s pretty much nothing I love more than a cool coffee house.  So when Cupcakes and Cashmere blogger Emily Schuman wrote about the Daily Dose Café, a downtown Los…

    Partying With the Kids From West Bev!

    ‘ Thanks to a tip from Andrea Sachs who interviewed me a few weeks back for a Washington Post article, I was able to drag my boyfriend to a little shindig for the new 90210 series at the Paley Center in Beverly Hills on Saturday night. The Paley Center, which was started in 1975 by…

  • The Site of Ariel’s House from “L.A. Story”

    The Site of Ariel’s House from “L.A. Story”

    ‘ One L.A. Story location that I tracked down and stalked months ago, but has since become a bit of a conundrum to me, is the apartment building – or house – where Ariel (Susan Forristal), the best friend of wacky weatherman Harris K. Telemacher (Steve Martin), lived.  Finding the locale was pretty much a…

    The Convenience Store from “Can’t Hardly Wait”

    ‘ My buddy, fellow stalker Owen of the When Write Is Wrong blog, is a huge Jennifer Love Hewitt fan.  Like huge.  He is also a fan of filming locations and, over the years, has managed to track down the vast majority of locales featured in his fave JLH movie, 1998’s Can’t Hardly Wait.  One…

    Candace’s Rental from “You”

    ‘ Though Anavrin was by far my favorite locale from the second season of the Netflix series You, I was also pretty darn smitten with the charming Victorian that Candace Stone (Ambyr Childers) rented during her stay in Los Angeles while posing as Amy Adam.  I was struck by the picturesque property as soon as…
