    Twin Palms – Frank Sinatra’s Former Palm Springs Estate

    ‘ Another Palm-Springs-area location that the Grim Cheaper and I stalked two weekends ago while vacationing in the Coachella Valley was Twin Palms, the former desert home of legendary crooner Frank Sinatra and his then-wife Nancy Barbato.  And while I have actually stalked – and even blogged about – this location once before (way back…

    The “Splitting Up Together” House

    ‘ Being that four of my favorite shows were recently cancelled, I have been on the lookout for alternative series to watch.  So when a fellow stalker named Catherine contacted me last week to ask if I had any intel on the location of the house from ABC’s new comedy Splitting Up Together, I welcomed…

    Derek’s Apartment from “Little Black Book”

    ‘ The Little Black Book location that I was most interested in tracking down was the supposed New Jersey-area apartment building where Derek (Ron Livingston) lived and where his girlfriend, Stacy (Brittany Murphy), spent most of her time.  I fell in love with the adorably charming building upon sight when first watching Little Black Book…

    Ben and Leslie’s New House from “Parks and Recreation”

    ‘ Back in October, while watching the fabulous Season 5 episode of Parks and Recreation titled “Halloween Surprise”, I became just a wee-bit obsessed with tracking down the Anywhere, U.S.A.-style home that Leslie Knope (Amy Poehler) leased with her longtime boyfriend, Ben Wyatt (Adam Scott – whom I just saw the other day at my…

    More Charmed Locations!

    ‘ My friend Chelsea is just about as obsessed with the TV series as I am with So while hanging out the other day she asked me to stalk a few filming locations for her. She was just dying to find Finn’”‘”‘s creepy looking house from the Season Four episode entitled “Size Matters”. In the…

  • Rest Easy, Luke

    Rest Easy, Luke

    ‘ Coy Luther Perry III – I scrawled that name in my high school notebooks more times than I care to admit, along with his better known moniker, Luke Perry.  My bedroom was also wallpapered with images of the dreamy teen idol.  I even slept on Beverly Hills, 90210 sheets!  And, at the age of…

  • El Pollo del Mar from “L.A. Story”

    El Pollo del Mar from “L.A. Story”

    ‘ One location that I had been dying to find for years was El Pollo del Mar (yes, that translates to The Chicken of the Sea LOL), aka the supposed Santa Barbara-area resort featured in the 1991 flick L.A. Story.  Try as I might, though, I just could not seem to track the place down. …

    Old Tony’s on the Pier from "The O.C."

    ‘ The Baader-Meinhof phenomenon has been in full effect lately when it comes to Old Tony’s on the Pier, a Redondo Beach restaurant I stalked way back in January 2012 with my good friend Mike (he provided many of the images in this post), but have yet to blog about.  First, Alison Martino, founder of…

  • The Beethoven House

    The Beethoven House

    ‘ Got a challenge from Debbie a few weeks back to find the house used in the 1992 movie Beethoven and its many subsequent sequels.  Debbie had just read my post on the Camden house from the television series 7th Heaven  and was struck by how similar it looked to the home used in the…

    Entertainment Recommendations to Beat the Shelter-at-Home Blues

    ‘ These definitely are some uncertain, scary times, to say the least.  The one silver lining to my dad’s recent hospital stay is that I binged a lot of TV, read quite a few books and listened to a bunch of podcasts, which means I have a slew of new entertainment favorites to share with…
