  • Gray’s Papaya

    Gray’s Papaya

    ‘ I know I have blogged about this location briefly once before in my , but I think this is one location that is worthy of its very own blog post. So here goes. 🙂 I have long been a fan of Gray’”‘”‘s Papaya, a small hot dog stand/restaurant chain that was started in 1973…

  • The “George Lopez” House

    The “George Lopez” House

    ‘ The Grim Cheaper and I watch a LOT of television – something I’ve mentioned many times on this blog.  Somehow we still miss quite a few shows, though, like George Lopez which ran on ABC from 2002 to 2007.  Nonetheless, when a fellow stalker named Jonathan emailed me back in 2016 to let me…

  • Molly Malone’s from “Patriot Games”

    Molly Malone’s from “Patriot Games”

    ‘ Way back in mid-June, while trying to track down the Irish pub that masquerades as Scully’s bar on fave show Parks and Recreation (a location that I still have, maddeningly, yet to find, by the way), I came across a website for a Fairfax District-area watering hole named Molly Malone’s.  The website mentioned that…

  • 30th Street Station from “Trading Places”

    30th Street Station from “Trading Places”

    ‘ If you’re a filming location buff, you really shouldn’t travel to Philadelphia without first seeing Trading Places, the 1983 Dan Aykroyd/Eddie Murphy comedy set in the City of Brotherly Love.  And filming location buff or not, you really shouldn’t leave Philly without a visit to 30th Street Station, the city’s main railroad depot which…

  • Ryden’s House from “Post Grad”

    Ryden’s House from “Post Grad”

    ‘ Another location that I dragged the Grim Cheaper out to stalk while in the San Fernando Valley area this past weekend was the ranch-style house where Ryden Malby (aka Alexis Bledel) and her extremely odd, but extremely loveable family – dad Walter (aka Michael Keaton), mom Carmella (aka Jane Lynch), brother Hunter (aka Bobby…

  • LOVE Park from “Shazam!”

    LOVE Park from “Shazam!”

    ‘ I am a complete and total girly-girl, especially when it comes to anything having to do with love, hearts or romance.  So when I headed to Philadelphia in September 2016, John F. Kennedy Plaza, aka LOVE Park, was at the top of my To-Stalk List – or rather the iconic LOVE statute that serves…

  • Annie’s House from “Sleepless in Seattle”

    Annie’s House from “Sleepless in Seattle”

    ‘ We all have those movies – the ones that affected us so much upon first viewing, they left a lasting imprint on our hearts.  Sleepless in Seattle is one such movie for me.  As I mentioned in this 2010 post about the houseboat from the 1993 romcom, I still remember exactly where I was…

  • Dots Cupcakes!

    Dots Cupcakes!

    ‘ Last week, on a whim, I ventured into Dots Cupcakes in Pasadena to buy some Halloween cupcakes for my boyfriend. While waiting in line I noticed a framed InStyle Magazine article sitting on a shelf in the tiny shop. The article detailed the June 2007 wedding of Rebecca Romijn and Jerry O’”‘”‘Connell, who rather…

  • Lindsay’s Big Adventure

    Lindsay’s Big Adventure

    ‘ The idea of watching a movie outdoors at night in an LA cemetery might at first seem a little odd to some. And I must admit, it did at first to me, too. But that’”‘”‘s exactly what I did this past Saturday night for a screening of Pee Wee’”‘”‘s Big Adventure at the Hollywood…

  • Pawn Shop to the Stars

    Pawn Shop to the Stars

    ‘ Another day, another pawn shop to write about. 🙂 Ironically, just around the corner from the now defunct Beverly Hills, 90210 pawn shop that I blogged about yesterday, is yet another local pawn shop that also has a filming history. Who knew that pawn shops were such popular filming locations?? 🙂 Angelo’”‘”‘s Jewelry and…
