    Miranda and Steve’s Garden Wedding

    ‘ In keeping with the SATC theme of this week, I thought I’”‘”‘d do a post about a location that my boyfriend actually dragged me to! At the time I had no idea it was a filming location, let alone a SATC filming location, so sadly I didn’”‘”‘t take many pictures while I was there.…

  • The “Four Christmases” Bar

    The “Four Christmases” Bar

    ‘ Last December, while doing research on the Venice residence that was used as the interior of the house belonging to Kate (Reese Witherspoon) and Brad (Vince Vaughn) in Four Christmases (which I blogged about here), I came across this Venice Paper article that stated that the 2008 comedy had also done some filming at…

    Sid & Dexter’s Sports Bar from the “Happy Hour” episode of “The Office”

    ‘ As I mentioned yesterday, one location that fellow stalker Lavonna was absolutely dying to stalk while she was in town last week was Sid & Dexter’s Sports Bar, the arcade/restaurant which appeared in the Season 6 episode of The Office entitled “Happy Hour”.  So, before her arrival, I called upon fellow stalker Owen for…

    Twin Palms – Frank Sinatra’s Former Palm Springs Estate

    ‘ Another Palm-Springs-area location that the Grim Cheaper and I stalked two weekends ago while vacationing in the Coachella Valley was Twin Palms, the former desert home of legendary crooner Frank Sinatra and his then-wife Nancy Barbato.  And while I have actually stalked – and even blogged about – this location once before (way back…

  • The “Crossroads” Gas Station

    The “Crossroads” Gas Station

    ‘ One  location that I was absolutely dying to stalk while visiting Palmdale last week was the supposed Texas-area gas station where Lucy Wagner (aka Miss Britney Spears) stole the keys to Ben’s (aka Anson Mount’s) Buick Skylark convertible in the 2002 movie Crossroads.  I had known from watching the flick’s DVD commentary with director Tamra…

  • The “Young Sheldon” House

    The “Young Sheldon” House

    ‘ I don’t think I’ve ever hated a television character more than Samantha Ruland on Scandal (though Beverly Hills, 90210’s Kelly Taylor ranks a close second).  Played by Zoe Perry, Samantha represented pure evil – there was literally not a single redeeming thing about her.  It got to the point that even hearing her voice…

  • The Last Bookstore from “Gone Girl”

    The Last Bookstore from “Gone Girl”

    ‘ I love bookstores – and books.  Actual books, not the digitized versions.  You will never catch me reading on a Kindle.  I like the feel of a book in my hands, the physical act of turning the pages and the smell.  I love, love, love the smell of books.  The Grim Cheaper always makes…
