    Halloween 2009 at The Nest!

    ‘ I hope my fellow stalkers had an absolutely fabulous Halloween 2009!  As I’ve mentioned many times before, Halloween is downright my favorite holiday.  I pretty much look forward to it all year long!  So, today I thought I’d take a little break from my New York blogging to write a post about this year’s…

  • Descanso Beach Club from “NCIS”

    Descanso Beach Club from “NCIS”

    ‘ My family has long had a love affair with Catalina, the idyllic island located about 22 miles southwest of Los Angeles.  One of our favorite spots to grab lunch or an evening cocktail while there is Descanso Beach Club, a toes-in-the-sand restaurant situated along the shore of Descanso Bay.  I have visited the site…

  • The Reno Main US Post Office from “Sister Act”

    The Reno Main US Post Office from “Sister Act”

    ‘ While visiting my grandmother in Sparks, Nevada over Christmas, I dragged her, along with my parents, out to stalk the Reno Main US Post Office, which masqueraded as the Reno Police Station in the 1992 movie Sister Act.  I first found out about this location from fave book Shot on This Site: A Traveler’s…

  • The House Where Judy Lewis, Loretta Young and Clark Gable’s Daughter, Was Born

    The House Where Judy Lewis, Loretta Young and Clark Gable’s Daughter, Was Born

    ‘ Today’s locale is easily one of the coolest I have visited in my 13-plus years of living in Southern California, which is ironic being that it is comprised of mostly vacant land.  I am talking about the one-time location of the house where Judy Lewis, the secret love child of screen siren Loretta Young…

  • The “Confessions of a Shopaholic” House

    The “Confessions of a Shopaholic” House

    ‘ While doing some research for my Who’s The Boss? post quite a few months back, I came across this website which chronicles all of the movies that have ever been filmed in the city of Fairfield, Connecticut and just about died when I saw the 2009 flick Confessions of a Shopaholic on the list. …

  • Miranda and Steve’s Garden Wedding

    Miranda and Steve’s Garden Wedding

    ‘ In keeping with the SATC theme of this week, I thought I’”‘”‘d do a post about a location that my boyfriend actually dragged me to! At the time I had no idea it was a filming location, let alone a SATC filming location, so sadly I didn’”‘”‘t take many pictures while I was there.…

  • Olympic Coffee Shop from “Sharp Objects”

    Olympic Coffee Shop from “Sharp Objects”

    ‘ I’m not sure what it is about old school diners, but I sure have an affinity for them.  My inclination maybe stems from memories of childhood road trips or weekend mornings spent at greasy spoons with my parents during my early years or my nostalgic nature in general.  Whatever the cause, if I see…

  • On Location With The Mentalist!

    On Location With The Mentalist!

    ‘ Yesterday morning while doing some Downtown Los Angeles stalking, I happened to stumble upon a large film crew outside of Union Station.  I, of course, asked one of the background actors what was being filmed and almost fell over when she told me it was my new favorite show, The Mentalist!!!!   I asked if Simon Baker was on set and she laughed and said “Everyone’”‘”‘s been…

  • Beating the Heat

    Beating the Heat

    ‘ Sorry to have been a bit MIA lately.  I have been travelling back and forth to L.A. over the past two weeks along with the Grim Cheaper and my parents in order to try to beat the heat in Palm Springs (temps got up to 122 degrees last Monday!).  I did do some stalking…

  • The “What Women Want” Coffee Shop

    The “What Women Want” Coffee Shop

    ‘ “If I ever go looking for my heart’s desire again, I won’t look any further than my own backyard.”  So says Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz.  I should have heeded her advice because for years I have been searching for the coffee shop from the 2000 comedy What Women Want and as it…
