The VA Sepulveda Ambulatory Care Center aka the American Embassy from “Argo”
‘ There are few things this stalker loves more than opening her mailbox to discover a slew of “For Your Consideration” screeners – something that happens each January shortly before the Screen Actors Guild Awards. This year, the DVDs waiting in my mailbox were Silver Linings Playbook (my pick for best movie of the year),…

The Friends Apartment
‘ Another one of my must-see New York filming locations from my first trip to the Big Apple was the Apartment. The apartment is actually located right in the same neighborhood as Carrie’”‘”‘s brownstone and SJP’”‘”‘s house. I could hardly contain myself as we walked up to the building – I felt like I had…

Vibiana
‘ A couple of weeks ago, while spending the weekend at the Hilton Checkers Hotel, I stumbled upon a filming location I had been meaning to stalk for quite some time – a former cathedral named Vibiana located in Downtown Los Angeles. While walking back to the hotel after grabbing a Starbucks :), I saw what looked like a wedding being set up…

Touring Paramount . . . Again
‘ I spent this past Friday on the Paramount tour and doing some other miscellaneous stalking with my good friend and fellow stalker Lavonna and a group of her girlfriends, who were all in town visiting from Ohio. Because we were out and about all day, I did not have time to write a post…
