    Fill ‘Er Up!

    ‘ In the film-friendly city of Altadena, where pretty much every other house has been featured in a movie or television show, it seems that even the gas stations are famous! 🙂 Last week, while doing some Altadena stalking with Mike, from MovieShotsLA, he drove me by Ronnie’”‘”‘s Automotive, a gas and service station that…

    The Salton Sea

    ‘ About fifty miles southeast of Palm Springs lies the Salton Sea, a former resort destination that I had wanted to stalk ever since seeing Troy Paiva’s haunting images of the place on his website Lost America.  Due to the fact that it is largely abandoned and hence lacking in public restrooms, I hesitated making…

    “It Never Rains In Southern California . . . “

    ‘ As the old Albert Hammond song says “It never rains in Southern California, but girl, don’”‘”‘t they warn ya, it pours man, it pours!”  And pour it did almost all last week all over the normally sun drenched landscape of Los Angeles.  While on my way to stalk Burbank’”‘”‘s Handy Grocery Store in the pouring rain this…
