    The Best Place to View the Hollywood Sign!

    ‘ There is one site in Los Angeles that I absolutely never get tired of, no matter how many times I see it. Even though I can now officially call myself a native Angeleno, I am not ashamed to admit that I still get a little jolt of butterflies in my stomach every time I…

  • The “WarGames” 7-Eleven

    The “WarGames” 7-Eleven

    ‘ I am not a spontaneous person by nature.  I much prefer planning things out, especially when it comes to vacations.  Typically when going on a trip, I investigate any and all filming that has been done in the area we are heading to.  As I mentioned in Monday’s post, though, our Big Bear Lake…

    On Location With “Peep World”!

    ‘ Yesterday, while heading to fave bookstore Vroman’”‘”‘s to pick up a stalking book  I had special ordered, I happened upon a small crew filming on the sidewalk at the store’”‘”‘s entrance.  One of the policemen on duty was extremely nice and told me that the movie being filmed was a low-budget indie entitled Peep World. …

    My So-Called Weekend

    ‘ I know My So-Called Life has been off the air for over 8 years now, but I am still slightly obsessed with it.  When one of my co-workers told me that MSCL was filmed at his high school, University High School in West LA, I set out to have a My So-Called Weekend! University High…

    Amanda Peet’s Apartment Building from “A Lot Like Love”

    ‘ One of my favorite romantic comedies of all time is A Lot Like Love starring Amanda Peet and Ashton Kutcher – and while I was watching it I absolutely fell in love with the building used as Amanda Peet’”‘”‘s apartment. But as hard as I tried, I couldn’”‘”‘t seem to find this location by…

  • South Fork Inn from “Revenge”

    South Fork Inn from “Revenge”

    ‘ Finding today’s location had me feeling like a complete moron.  Though my obsession with Revenge has waned in recent months (I have only watched three episodes from the current season), I remained hell-bent on tracking down the Colonial-style structure used in establishing shots of the South Fork Inn on the series.  I figured the…

    Ray Raymond and Dorothy MacKaye’s Former House

    ‘ I have been told that I am ridiculously easy to buy presents for.  Anything pink or sparkly, dainty and gold, or having to do with Los Angeles automatically fits the bill.  Some gifts are so perfectly suited to me when it comes to the latter category, in fact, that I have received them on…

    The Thomas W. Phillips Residence from “The People Under the Stairs”

    ‘ In his comment on my Milbank Mansion post, fellow stalker David, from The Location Scout blog, also informed me that directly across the street from the Beckett house (which I blogged about yesterday) was another famous movie location – the Thomas W. Phillips residence, which was featured extensively in The People Under the Stairs. …

    The “Little Miss Sunshine” Gas Station

    ‘ A few months back, while doing research on Wokcano from Get Shorty (which I blogged about here), I came across a Chowhound message board titled “Restaurants Seen in the Movies.”  One of the eateries mentioned on the page was Pann’s restaurant at 6710 La Tijera Boulevard in Ladera Heights, which a commenter named Kevin…

  • The Pilot House!

    The Pilot House!

    ‘ One filming location that has pretty much been the bane of Mike, from MovieShotsLA, and my existence for quite some time now is the home that the Walsh family lived in during the very first of episode of Beverly Hills, 90210.  Mike and I fondly, and sometimes not so fondly – LOL – refer to this location as…
