    The It’s A Grind Coffee House from Weeds

    ‘ Another location that Mike, from MovieShotsLA, and I stalked while in the San Fernando Valley a few weeks ago was the It’s A Grind Coffee House featured weekly in the opening credits of the Showtime series Weeds.  I was dying to stalk this location not only because I love anything and everything having to…

    ARIA Resort & Casino “The Bachelor”

    ‘ Each season, The Bachelor reality series whisks its stars and contestants to various exotic, high-end locales.  During Brad Womack’s second stint as The Bachelor, he and the ladies (including my girl Emily Maynard) headed to the ARIA Resort & Casino in Las Vegas.  Prior to last month, I had not been to Sin City…

  • The Pink Motel from “Vanderpump Rules”

    The Pink Motel from “Vanderpump Rules”

    ‘ The latest season of Vanderpump Rules might have been the most epic yet.  With Stassi Schroeder making only occasional appearances, I had a fear that the show was going to lose all of its allure and most of its steam, but that was not the case.  Kristen Doute brought the crazy like never before…

    A New York State of Mind . . .

    ‘ The Grim Cheaper and I are heading to New York for the week and I could NOT be more excited!  Manhattan is pretty much my favorite place in the world and not only has it been almost seven years since our last visit, but we are also meeting up with some of our closest…

  • The “Punky Brewster” Grocery Store

    The “Punky Brewster” Grocery Store

    ‘ As I mentioned in my August 18th post about the buildings used in the opening credits of fave ‘80s television show Punky Brewster (which you can read here), one spot that remained a mystery was the grocery store where Punky Brewster (Soleil Moon Frye) offered to help patrons carry their bags in exchange for…

    The Old Towne Orange Starbucks from “That Thing You Do!”

    ‘ “We met at Starbucks.  Not at the same Starbucks, but we saw each other at different Starbucks across the street from each other.”  So says Meg Swan (Parker Posey) about meeting her husband, Hamilton (Michael Hitchcock), in the 2000 comedy Best in Show.  (You can watch the hilarious scene here.)  Meg might well have…

    Johnny Weissmuller’s Former Home

    ‘ I would like to start off today’s post by wishing all of my fellow stalkers a very Happy Halloween! And while I could not be more excited to celebrate the day that I pretty much spend all year waiting for, my heart is broken over the devastation to the East Coast (especially New York,…

    Pacific Dining Car

    ‘ My father is currently in the hospital (again) as he just had some minor surgery – and no, it was not caused by me dragging him to filming locations! 🙂 As they say, though, every cloud has a silver lining! Not only has his hospital been used as a filming location, but there is…

  • Janine and Ben’s House(s) from “He’s Just Not That Into You”

    Janine and Ben’s House(s) from “He’s Just Not That Into You”

    ‘ You know those crime novels where a main character is trying to solve a case and there is some niggling clue that tugs at them throughout the story – an important piece of evidence that would solve the whole mystery, but which remains elusive until the final pages?  That was how I felt while…

    Jonathan’s Apartment from “Mannequin”

    ‘ I wanted to go to Philadelphia for one reason and one reason only – to stalk Mannequin locations.  The 1987 comedy is one of my all-time favorites.  I loved it as a kid and love it even more today.  It has pretty much everything I could ever want in a film.  A mannequin that…
