    Skylight Books from “Veep”

    ‘ While we are on the subject of historic book shops featured in Washington, D.C.-based productions (you can read my post on Idle Time Books from A Few Good Men here), I would be remiss if I did not mention a bookseller that popped up on my new favorite show, Veep.  The Grim Cheaper and…

    ‘ Be sure to check out my new Los Angeles magazine post here – about the Los Altos Apartments from Transparent.  My articles typically get published in the late morning/early afternoon hours. ‘

  • Charmed Challenge!

    Charmed Challenge!

    ‘ Got a from Jenna a few weeks back to find a whole bunch of locations, one of which being the “San Francisco” city street featured in both the Season 7 episode “The Bare Witch Project” and the Season 8 episode “Still Charmed and Kicking”. In “The Bare With Project” (pictured above), the street is…

  • Mercedes’ Apartment Building from “Larry Crowne”

    Mercedes’ Apartment Building from “Larry Crowne”

    ‘ The only Larry Crowne filming location that fellow stalker Mike, from MovieShotsLA, did not track down was the mid-century-style apartment building where East Valley Community College professor Mercedes Tainot (aka Julia Roberts) – that’s “T-A-I-N-O-T, not Tae Bow, not Tai Chi, not Tie Knot” – lived with her philandering husband, Dean Tainot (aka Bryan…

  • The “Clueless” Mall

    The “Clueless” Mall

    ‘ As evidenced by yesterday’s post, I have been on a major Clueless filming locations kick as of late.  One spot about which much conflicting information has been reported online is the mall (or malls) that appeared in the 1995 flick.  Some sites stipulate Westside Pavilion in Rancho Park was used, some surmise the Beverly…

  • Jason Priestley’s Former Apartment

    Jason Priestley’s Former Apartment

    ‘ I haven’t been getting much sleep the past few nights and it’s all Jason Priestley’s fault.  His new book, Jason Priestley: A Memoir, has me burning the midnight oil.  The chapters are brief (most only a page or two) and begging to be perused.  I find myself repeatedly thinking ‘I’ll just read one more,’…

  • Rose Towers from “CSI: Cyber”

    Rose Towers from “CSI: Cyber”

    ‘ Spanish-style courtyard apartment complexes are my jam (as evidenced here, here, here, here, here, here, and here).  One that I became especially enamored of a little over a year ago was the pink-hued building where Tristan Jenkins (fave actor Matt Lanter) lived on the Season 2 episode of CSI: Cyber titled “Corrupted Memory.”  While…

  • The “People Like Us” Apartment Building

    The “People Like Us” Apartment Building

    ‘ This past weekend, I dragged the Grim Cheaper out to Westfield Topanga mall in Canoga Park (one of my very favorite shopping centers) to do some major Christmas shopping. And “since we were in the area” (cough, cough), I asked if we could make a little stalking stop beforehand at the apartment building where…

  • The Hyatt Huntington Beach from “90210”

    The Hyatt Huntington Beach from “90210”

    ‘ One location that I have been absolutely DYING to stalk for over a year and a half now is the Hyatt Huntington Beach Hotel, the spot which stands in for the Beverly Hills Beach Club, the regular hangout of Liam Court (aka cutie Matt Lanter – sigh!), Annie Wilson (aka Shenae Grimes), Naomi Clark…

  • Yamashiro Restaurant

    Yamashiro Restaurant

    ‘ Last Monday night, the Grim Cheaper and I headed out to fave restaurant Yamashiro in Hollywood to grab some drinks to celebrate the six month anniversary of our wedding.  I can hardly believe that it has already been six months, by the way.  While in some ways it feels as if my wedding took…
