The Avalon Hotel – The Former Beverly Carlton Where Marilyn Monroe Once Lived
‘ Another location that the Grim Cheaper and I stalked while in the Beverly Hills area two weekends ago was the historic Avalon Hotel, where my girl Marilyn Monroe once lived for a period of about three years back in the 1950’s.

Michael Jackson’s Thriller Zombie Dance Location
‘ Last week, while cyber-stalking the theatre used in Michael Jackson’”‘”‘s Thriller , I read that the final dance sequence in the video was filmed on a street in Los Angeles named Union Pacific Avenue.

Mountain View Mausoleum from “Lucifer”
‘ Given my proclivity for graveyards and extensive knowledge of Los Angeles (especially the Pasadena area), it is shocking that I only learned of Altadena’s Mountain View Mausoleum a few months ago.
