  • The Campbell Apartment

    The Campbell Apartment

    ‘ One of my favorite bars in all of New York is called the Campbell Apartment and it is located right inside the most famous train depot of them all, Grand Central Station. I discovered the bar thanks to a guide book I was reading during my first trip to New York, back in December…

  • The King Edward Hotel from “In Time”

    The King Edward Hotel from “In Time”

    ‘ I am a sucker for a grand staircase!  My affinity likely stems from the movie Titanic, which I was obsessed with back in the day.  Whatever the impetus, I am drawn to them like a moth to a flame.  Case in point – while researching the Surfridge neighborhood for this 2013 post, I was…

  • Loews Hollywood Hotel from Britney Spears’ “Everytime” Music Video

    Loews Hollywood Hotel from Britney Spears’ “Everytime” Music Video

    ‘ I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again – I hate change, especially when it comes to filming locations.  So I was devastated when the Renaissance Hollywood Hotel, one of my favorite Tinseltown lodgings and frequent film star, was sold a couple of years ago, rebranded as a Loews, and extensively remodeled.  Though…

  • The “Little Miss Sunshine” Motel

    The “Little Miss Sunshine” Motel

    ‘ Another Little Miss Sunshine locale that I desperately wanted to stalk was the supposed Arizona motel where the Hoover family – Olive (Abigail Breslin), Richard (Greg Kinnear), Sheryl (Toni Collette), Dwayne (Paul Dano), Grandpa Edwin (Alan Arkin), and Frank Ginsberg (Steve Carell) – stayed mid-way through their road trip from Albuquerque to Redondo Beach…

    The Michael Buble Crazy Love Concert

    ‘ As I have mentioned countless times before on this blog, this stalker is one hundred percent, head over heels in love with cutie crooner Michael Buble.  In fact, my fiancé and I are currently in the midst of creating our wedding slide show and the vast majority of songs I picked out to play…

  • A Day Off . . . Again!

    A Day Off . . . Again!

    ‘ Spent the entire day yesterday running errands and taking care of household stuff again, so I did not have time to write a new post.  I will be back tomorrow, though, with a whole new location! Until next time, Happy Stalking! ‘

  • Caffe’ Opera – aka Dog Years Diner from “American Pie”

    Caffe’ Opera – aka Dog Years Diner from “American Pie”

    ‘ Shortly after selling their house a few months back, my parents moved into an apartment building in Old Town Monrovia.  Since that time, they have become regular patrons of their new favorite restaurant, Caffe’ Opera – the very spot that stood in for Dog Years Diner, the supposed Grand Rapids, Michigan-area hangout of Jim…

  • Happy  Memorial Day!

    Happy Memorial Day!

    ‘ A very happy Memorial Day to my fellow stalkers.  I hope we all take time today to remember the reason behind the holiday – to honor those who lost their lives protecting our freedoms.  I am taking the day off, but will be back tomorrow with a giveaway.   Until then, Happy Stalking! ‘

  • High Tower from “Dead Again”

    High Tower from “Dead Again”

    ‘ I did not see Dead Again when it was first released in 1991 (at 14, I was too young for such an intense thriller), but I vividly remember my parents coming home from the theatre raving about how great it was and how much I would have loved a particularly disturbing scene involving cigarettes. …

  • Henry’s House from “Selfie”

    Henry’s House from “Selfie”

    ‘ I was saddened to learn recently that both Selfie and A to Z – two of my favorite new shows of the fall season – had been cancelled.  If How to Get Away with Murder winds up on the chopping block next, the networks will be receiving a very strongly worded letter from me! …
