  • “The Bedroom Window” Apartment

    “The Bedroom Window” Apartment

    ‘ I am always on the lookout for new thrillers and scary movies to watch, especially during this time of year.  While researching Baltimore locations in preparation for our recent trip to the Old Line State, I came across information about the brownstone apartment featured in The Bedroom Window.  I had never seen the 1987…

  • Don Antonio’s from “The Hills” and “Life in Pieces”

    Don Antonio’s from “The Hills” and “Life in Pieces”

    ‘ I am a creature of habit, so it should come as no surprise that Don Antonio’s – the subject of my very first blog post back in 2007 – has remained my favorite Mexican restaurant ever since I first set foot inside it over a decade ago.  I initially learned about the Sawtelle-area eatery…

  • Lindsay, The Celebrity Hunter

    Lindsay, The Celebrity Hunter

    ‘ Yesterday, our first full day in Kona, I did a little Dog, the Bounty Hunter stalking. My mom gets a bit obsessed with celebs, just like me – at least I know where I get it from 🙂 – and one of her biggest obsessions right now is Mr. Duane Chapman, aka Dog, the…

  • Langer’s Delicatessen-Restaurant from “Black Widow”

    Langer’s Delicatessen-Restaurant from “Black Widow”

    ‘ Sorry to have been a bit M.I.A. lately – my personal life has been rather hectic.  This week will be a little light on columns, too, as both of my parents have doctor appointments in L.A. that I have to take them, too.  So please bear with me.    And now, on with the…

  • Michael Jackson’s Childhood Home in Gary, Indiana

    Michael Jackson’s Childhood Home in Gary, Indiana

    ‘ Today’s blog is a major, major fail on my part as I had originally intended to write about this location on Monday, August 29th – the day that would have been legendary singer Michael Jackson’s 53rd birthday.  The suggestion to write about the King of Pop’s childhood home on the anniversary of his birth…

    Màs Malo from “Scandal”

    ‘ Los Angeles is often ridiculed for having no history – or no appreciation of its history.  Demolition of the Ambassador Hotel aside, I don’t find that to be true.  There is history – well-preserved history – around pretty much ever corner.  You just have to know where to look.  Case in point – Màs…

  • The “Bad Santa” House

    The “Bad Santa” House

    ‘ A couple of weeks ago, my good friend/fellow stalker Lavonna suggested that I do a Christmas movie stalking theme during the entire month of December.  I absolutely LOVED the idea, but,  unfortunately, by that time it was too late for me to get enough locations together and actually stalk them prior to December 1st. …

  • Jerry’s Condo from “Jerry Maguire”

    Jerry’s Condo from “Jerry Maguire”

    ‘ Location hunts can take some strange, circuitous paths.  Case in point – during my laborious, years-long search for the condo where Jerry Maguire (Tom Cruise) lived in the 1996 classic of the same name, I headed down a fairly deep rabbit hole in an attempt to identify the onetime beach home of actress Suzanne…

  • The Philadelphia Museum of Art from “Rocky”

    The Philadelphia Museum of Art from “Rocky”

    ‘ The Philadelphia Museum of Art has been called the world’s second most famous filming location, falling only behind Grand Central Station in New York.  While the latter has been captured on celluloid copious times, the former is known mainly for one significant appearance.  It was there that Rocky Balboa (Sylvester Stallone) embodied triumph by…

  • McSorley’s Old Ale House from “Rounders”

    McSorley’s Old Ale House from “Rounders”

    ‘ It has been said that 60% of restaurants close within a year of opening and that 80% don’t make it past year five.  Many in New York, though, have real staying power.  Take McSorley’s Old Ale House, for example.  The East Village watering hole/eatery has been around for more than 16 decades!  Yep, 16…
