    "Leave the Gun, Take the Cannoli"

    ‘ My title might be a bit in poor taste, but it seems Robert Blake followed just that advice on a fateful day back in May 2001 after dining at Vitello’”‘”‘s Restaurant in Studio City. Although a jury found him not guilty, it is pretty widely assumed that Blake murdered his wife Bonnie Lee Bakley…

    The Central Park Boathouse Cafe

    ‘ One of the locations that I was most excited about stalking while in New York last month was a little restaurant named the Central Park Boathouse Cafe, also known as the Loeb Boathouse.  And although I’ve stalked this location once before – and even blogged about it – because the restaurant is not open…

  • The 17 Again House

    The 17 Again House

    ‘ As I’ve mentioned numerous times in the past, I am a total sucker for any sort of teeny-bopper movie.  So, a couple of weeks ago when my fiancé surprised me with a copy of 17 Again,  I just about died!  🙂  And while I have to admit that I’ve never been a big Zac…

    Packing, Packing and Packing Some More!

    ‘ While I did manage to do a bit of stalking this weekend, most of my time was spent packing up our apartment (we are moving in nine days – yikes!), so I did not have time to write a new post for today. But I will (hopefully) be back tomorrow with a whole new…

    ‘ I will be taking the next five days off in order to spend Thanksgiving week with my family.  But I will be back with a whole new location on Monday, November 26th.  In the meantime, I’ll leave you with this favorite Thanksgiving moment from Friends, in which Rachel Green (Jennifer Aniston) accidentally adds beef…

    ‘ Be sure to read my latest post for L.A.mag.com today, about the Olivia Pope & Associates offices from Scandal.  My articles typically get published in the late morning/early afternoon hours.  (On a side-note – I wrote this article several weeks ago, before I became disillusioned with the show.) ‘

    Taking the Day Off

    ‘ I do not have a new blog to post for today as I spent all day yesterday in the South Bay doing some stalking with Mike, from MovieShotsLA, but I do promise to be back tomorrow with a whole new location.  So until that time . . . Happy Stalking! ‘

    The Ojai Valley Inn & Spa from “The Bachelorette”

    ‘ I know I said yesterday that today’s post would be about a Behind the Candelabra location, but I wound up getting a bit distracted by a spot that I stalked well over two years ago – the Ojai Valley Inn & Spa which appeared on this week’s episode of The Bachelorette. So y’all will…

  • Quake!

    Quake!

    ‘ The other night while driving home from the hospital – yes, my dad is in the hospital yet again – I happened to hit a red light at the corner of Green Street and Arroyo Parkway in Pasadena. The light took a really long time to change and while waiting I just happened to…
