    Marilyn Monroe’s Former Doheny Drive Apartment Building

    ‘ Another day, another Marilyn Monroe location.  🙂  Last month, fellow stalker and major Drew Barrymore aficionado Ashley, from The Drewseum website, tipped me off to The Marilyn Monroe Collection Blog which had just published a post about an apartment building where my girl had lived at two separate times during the 1950s and 1960s.…

    Father of the Bride House

    ‘ Had a request today from a co-worker to post the location of the house . Even though in the movie Steve Martin proclaims that he lives in the town of San Marino, his character’”‘”‘s home is actually located a short distance north of San Marino, in Pasadena. The home is beautiful in person, and…

    The “Pretty Little Liars” Church

    ‘ Before we get started, I have a couple of announcements.  Some changes will be coming to the blog in 2016.  The biggest change will be a major site redesign, which the Grim Cheaper is currently working on and which I could NOT be more excited about.  You’”‘”‘ll notice I’”‘”‘ve altered my screen captures a…

  • We’re Moving!

    We’re Moving!

    ‘ As I mentioned in Monday’s post, the Grim Cheaper and I are moving this week.  (Hopefully we won’t have any moments like this!)  So blog posts will likely be few and far between over the next couple of weeks until we get settled.  Hopefully I’ll be back up and running sooner rather than later,…

  • Doheny Memorial Library from “Matilda”

    Doheny Memorial Library from “Matilda”

    ‘ Movies have a way of making locations appear more majestic than they truly are, thanks largely to photogenic set dressing, perfect camera angles, and expert production design (anyone who has ever seen a Nancy Meyers film knows exactly what I am talking about).  Amazingly, that is not the case with Doheny Memorial Library, which,…

  • The Almost Famous House

    The Almost Famous House

    ‘ Thanks to fellow stalker Chas, way back in the beginning of July, I was able to stalk the main house used in the 2000 award winning movie Almost Famous.   Somehow, though, in all this time, I’”‘”‘ve yet to blog about it.  What can I say – so many places to stalk, so little time to write…

  • Halloween 2016 at the Los Angeles Haunted Hayride

    Halloween 2016 at the Los Angeles Haunted Hayride

    ‘ I love anything and everything having to do with the ‘80s.  So when I started hearing buzz about Stanger Things, a horror series on Netflix with deep ‘80s undertones, this past summer, I knew I’d be hooked.  The Grim Cheaper and I finally sat down to binge-watch it in August and immediately became obsessed,…

  • The Golden Girls House

    The Golden Girls House

    ‘ This past weekend, thanks to fellow stalker Owen, I was able to stalk the home used in one of my favorite ‘”‘”’80s TV shows – The Golden Girls.   Being that I was only eight years old at the time The Golden Girls premiered, I probably seem like a very unlikely fan of the show.  But, for some reason,…

    Hal’s Bar & Grill from “13 Going on 30”

    ‘ Last week, while shopping in Venice Beach with my girls Lavonna, Kim, Katie and Kaylee, we made a brief stalking stop at Hal’s Bar & Grill, which appeared in one of my favorite movies of all time, 13 Going on 30.  During our visit, we happened to have the good fortune to speak with…
