  • Rest in Peace, Michael

    Rest in Peace, Michael

    ‘ I was absolutely devastated to learn yesterday of the passing of music legend Michael Jackson.  I had no idea his death would affect me in the way that it did, but I simply could not stop crying.  Due to the sad news of his death, I didn’”‘”‘t feel it would be appropriate to post a regular blog entry today. And while I do realize that…

  • Merry Christmas!

    Merry Christmas!

    ‘ I would like to wish all of my fellow stalkers a heartfelt Merry Christmas!  I will be taking the week off to celebrate with my family.  I hope everyone has a safe, fun and fulfilling holiday surrounded by loved ones.  I’ll see you back here in the new year! ‘

  • The “30 Rock” Building

    The “30 Rock” Building

    ‘ One of the locales at the very top of this year’s New York vacation’s must-stalk list was the main building featured on my new favorite television show 30 Rock.  For some reason, until we rented the series earlier this past summer, neither my fiancé nor I had ever seen even a single episode of…

  • “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” Basketball Court

    “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” Basketball Court

    ‘ I’d like to take a minute, just sit right there, I’ll tell you how my friend Owen found the basketball court from The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.  (That’s Owen, of the When Write Is Wrong blog, for those who don’t read my site regularly.)  Back in June 2011, he became bound and determined to…

  • A Tour of Rockhaven Sanitarium

    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…

  • Architect Frank Gehry’s House

    Architect Frank Gehry’s House

    ‘ One location that I stalked quite a while back, but have yet to blog about is the residence belonging to legendary 81-year old Pritzker Prize-winning architect Frank Gehry, a man who is perhaps best known for his contemporary designs of the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Downtown Los Angeles, the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao,…

  • The Brass Monkey Bar from “Bad Santa”

    The Brass Monkey Bar from “Bad Santa”

    ‘ Another Christmas-themed location that I stalked recently was the Brass Elephant bar – the Monrovia-area watering hole that stood in for the similarly-named “Brass Monkey” bar where Sue (aka Lauren Graham) worked in my least-favorite holiday movie of all time, 2003’s Bad Santa.  Fellow stalker Chas, from the It’sFilmedThere website, had tracked down the…

  • Casbah Café from “A Lot Like Love”

    Casbah Café from “A Lot Like Love”

    ‘ Today’s blog is going to be a short one as I am heading out to the eye doctor in a bit to have my eyes dilated, which, second to being on an airplane, is my least favorite activity in the entire world. Speaking of flying, US Magazine recently published an article about celebrity riders…

  • 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…

  • Harbor Steps Apartments from “The Ring”

    Harbor Steps Apartments from “The Ring”

    ‘ I am reaching deep into my stalking vault for today’s location.  I visited the Harbor Steps Apartments from The Ring during a trip to Seattle well over four years ago – shortly after being caught in a torrential downpour, which explains my hat in the above photograph – but somehow failed to blog about…
