  • The Site of Sanford and Son Salvage from “Sanford and Son”

    The Site of Sanford and Son Salvage from “Sanford and Son”

    ‘ There’s pretty much nothing I relish more than diving into the nitty-gritty when proving or disproving a location – especially if that location is from an old production and/or is no longer in existence.  I love the challenge of it.  I recently had the pleasure of delving into one such case thanks to a…

  • The Newhall Mansion from “Charmed”

    The Newhall Mansion from “Charmed”

    ‘ Another location that the Grim Cheaper and I visited two Saturdays ago while doing some stalking in the Heritage Valley area was the Newhall Mansion, formerly the Piru Mansion, which fellow stalker Chas, from the ItsFilmedThere website, had told me about a few weeks prior.  The Newhall Mansion has appeared in countless productions over…

  • Edgeway Auto Upholstery from “Wicked City”

    Edgeway Auto Upholstery from “Wicked City”

    ‘ ABC finally released the remaining five episodes of Wicked City on both ABC.com and Hulu.  Watching them proved to be a bit of a double-edged sword because the show got really good.  And I already thought it was great!  By episode 8, I realized what a real contender it could have been, with a…

  • The Daisy – Where O.J. Simpson and Nicole Brown Met

    The Daisy – Where O.J. Simpson and Nicole Brown Met

    ‘ I love a good true-crime podcast.  One that recently got me hooked is Confronting: O.J. Simpson with Kim Goldman, which just finished its first season.  In it, the sister of murder victim Ronald Goldman interviews numerous key players in the so-called Trial of the Century, including jurors, prosecutors, witnesses and one of the defense…

  • Chris’ Apartment from “Parks and Recreation”

    Chris’ Apartment from “Parks and Recreation”

    ‘ I realize that I am on serious Parks and Recreation overload here, but today’s location is one that I could not not blog about being that I am absolutely OBSESSED with it!  What is the location you ask?  The supposed Indianapolis-area ultra-modern loft that Chris Traeger (Rob Lowe) owns on the series.  I became…

  • The Tate Mansion from “Soap”

    The Tate Mansion from “Soap”

    ‘ I have a pretty amazing memory, especially when it comes to things most people find useless, such as filming locations and movie quotes.  I’m like a vault.  Or an elephant.  Once something enters my brain, it locks in and I don’t forget it.  So I was shocked when I received an email a couple…

  • The Self-Realization Fellowship Lake Shrine Temple

    The Self-Realization Fellowship Lake Shrine Temple

    ‘ Another location that I stalked while my good friend Nat was in town a few weeks ago was the Self-Realization Fellowship Lake Shrine Temple – a ten-acre public oasis located on Sunset Boulevard in Pacific Palisades that was established by spiritual leader/Kriya Yoga guru Paramahansa Yogananda in 1950.  Because Nat is a dedicated yogi,…

  • Star Stalking – East Coast Style

    Star Stalking – East Coast Style

    ‘ Well, here I am back on the West Coast – wishing I was still in New York! 🙁 I had a fabulous time in Manhattan and did a ton of stalking! I am exhausted tonight, so I will have to save my longer NYC posts for later. But I wanted to say that I…

  • Descanso Gardens

    Descanso Gardens

    ‘ This past weekend I dragged my fiance and my parents out to stalk Descanso Gardens in La Canada Flintridge – another location that I discovered thanks to my new favorite stalking book.  The 160-acre botanical garden has been featured in countless movies and television shows over the years and is also a popular wedding venue.…

  • Pickwick Bowl from “Parks and Recreation”

    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 –…
