A Weekend in Newport
‘ My parents, the GC and I headed down to Newport Beach for the weekend to celebrate my dad’s birthday. We stayed at the Balboa Bay Club, which, as you can see above, was decorated quite beautifully for Christmas. If you are in the area, I HIGHLY recommend stopping by to see their lights. Anyway,…

The “L.A. Story” Fundraiser House
‘ Another L.A. Story location that I was desperate to track down was the sloped-roof residence where Harris K. Telemacher (Steve Martin) and Sara McDowel (Victoria Tennant) attended a “private art museum” fundraiser in the 1991 comedy. Because the home was so architecturally unique, I was sure that it would be an easy find. I…

Another Long Day in the Hospital
‘ I am sorry to say that I don’t have a new blog to post for today as I spent about 12 hours in the hospital yesterday with my dad (his surgery lasted far longer than expected) and didn’t have time to write one. 🙁 But the good news is that my dad is doing…

A Tour of Rockhaven Sanitarium
‘ Well, here it is – my final Haunted Hollywood post of 2014. Sad day! Last September, I stalked an abandoned mental health institution named Rockhaven Sanitarium where Marilyn Monroe’s mother, Gladys Baker Eley, spent almost a decade and a half of her life. Due to the fact that the place was gated and…

Happy Memorial Day!
‘ I would like to wish all of my fellow stalkers a happy Memorial Day. I hope everyone takes a moment today to remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice to protect America’s freedoms. I know I will be. And I will return here on Wednesday with a new post. ‘

Cafe Luka
‘ One of my very favorite places to grab a bite to eat in all of New York is a small restaurant located on Manhattan’s Upper East Side named Cafe Luka. The tiny, little cafe also just happens to be the spot where I ate my first ever New York meal on my first ever…

The Friends of Heaven Grief Retreat Hotel from “Dead to Me”
‘ You wouldn’t expect a show centered around grief to be funny. But the Netflix original Dead to Me, about the recently-widowed Jen Harding (Christina Applegate) and her new BFF Judy Hale (Linda Cardellini), whom she meets in the Laguna Beach chapter of the Friends of Heaven grief group, is downright hilarious! One episode in…

Chabelita Tacos from “Truth or Dare”
‘ Roadside taco stands don’t usually conjure up images of the macabre. Today’s locale is no different. In fact, the eatery – Chabelita Tacos – is a bright and colorful addition to the Harvard Heights skyline. But since it did appear in a memorable scene in the 2018 horror flick Truth or Dare, I thought…

Home Restaurant from “Raines”
‘ Every once in a while a show comes along that immediately hooks me. Such was the case with Raines, an extremely short-lived police procedural boasting a scant seven-episode run. I was unaware of the NBC series at the time of its original airing in March 2007. In fact, I only learned of it this…

Betty White’s Childhood Home
‘ While doing research on Afton Arms, the apartment building from the 1985 movie The Boys Next Door (which I blogged about here), I came across a page on the Hollywoodland website which stated that, at the age of eight, actress Betty White lived at a home located at 454 North Harper Avenue in Los…
