Haskell’s Ice Cream Hut from “The Brady Bunch”
‘ I have been a The Brady Bunch fanatic since I was about three years old. Growing up, I wanted nothing more than to be Cindy Brady (Susan Olsen) and don blonde pig tails on a daily basis. Too bad my hair was brown, curly and far too short for pig tails. As an adult,…

Opera on Ocean from “Don’t Tell Mom the Babysitter’s Dead”
‘ A couple of weeks ago, a fellow stalker named Gina reminded me of a Don’t Tell Mom the Babysitter’s Dead location that I had yet to blog about – Opera on Ocean, the Santa Monica restaurant where slime-ball Gus (John Getz) took Sue Ellen Crandell (Christina Applegate) for a lunch date in the 1991…

Lake View Medical Center from “Beverly Hills, 90210”

But its history began over 200 years ago when the area was built by early Spanish settlers. At…

The Home Where Marvin Gaye Was Killed
‘ Way back in January, while on a stalking adventure with Mike, from MovieShotsLA, he took me by the West Adams-area home where, on April 1st, 1984, singer Marvin Gaye Jr. was shot and killed by his father, Marvin Gay Sr. (and no, gay is not a typo – Marvin Jr. added an e to…

Seinfeld’s Apartment
‘ Like most filming locations, the site used as Jerry’”‘”‘s apartment building on the hit TV show Seinfeld, can actually be found in Los Angeles, not Manhattan. It is a nondescript little building that actually does look very reminiscent of New York. I didn’”‘”‘t recognize the building in person, until I looked at it through the viewfinder of my camera, and…
