The Franklin Institute from “National Treasure”
‘ I am not a fan of museums. Like at all. My dislike stems mainly from the fact that, if given the choice, I’d much prefer to be outdoors than indoors. There were quite a few on my list of must-see places in Philadelphia, though, including Eastern State Penitentiary (which I wouldn’t even really classify…

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…

Phil’s Diner from “The X-Files”
‘ When I was in L.A. last week, Mike, from MovieShotsLA, and I spent two full days stalking. Our adventures took us from one end of Los Angeles to the other. At one point, while in North Hollywood, we passed by Phil’s Diner at 5230 Lankershim Boulevard and stopped to snap some pics. I figured…

#Fail!
‘ A couple of weeks ago, I found out, thanks to my friend Marie, that the love of my life, Mr. Michael Buble, would be in town on May 10th to sing at a benefit concert at the Hollywood Palladium. So yesterday morning I headed out to Sunset Boulevard bright and early, armed with the…

Tom Rose’s House from “Beverly Hills, 90210”
‘ This past weekend, the Grim Cheaper surprised me with tickets for the Children’s Discovery Museum of the Desert annual Discovery Home Tour as a sort-of Welcome-to-Palm-Springs gift.
