  • The Griffin from “NCIS”

    The Griffin from “NCIS”

    ‘ Today’s location comes with a caveat.  Last Saturday evening while in L.A. for a brief visit, I headed to The Griffin, an Atwater Village bar I had been dying to stalk ever since seeing it in an episode of NCIS almost three years ago.  The place did not disappoint and I started writing this…

  • Virginia City Stalking!

    Virginia City Stalking!

    ‘ I am currently visiting my Grandma in the Reno area and today she took me to historic Virginia City to do some sightseeing. Anytime I am in a new town, I always stop into the local visitor’”‘”‘s center or bookstore to ask if any movies have been filmed in the area. What’”‘”‘s that old…

  • My Guide to L.A. – Shopping

    My Guide to L.A. – Shopping

    ‘ If there is one thing I love almost as much as stalking, it’s shopping – and shopping in Los Angeles is in a class all its own.  When I first moved to SoCal in 2000, I found myself in retail heaven.  The city boasts a myriad of cute shopping districts, fabulous marketplaces, and one-of-a-kind…

  • Judge Crawford’s House from “Fracture”

    Judge Crawford’s House from “Fracture”

    ‘ After tracking down the hilltop abode Willy Beachum (aka cutie Ryan Gosling) called home in fave movie Fracture, which I blogged about last Tuesday, I became just a wee bit obsessed with finding the large brick mansion where Judge Gardner (aka Bob Gunton) lived in the flick.  Even though the dwelling showed up only…

  • The Erin Brockovich House

    The Erin Brockovich House

    ‘ Many, many months ago my very good friend and fellow stalker Kerry challenged me to find Julia Roberts’”‘”‘ house from the Academy Award winning movie Erin Brockovich.  Kerry knew that the home was located somewhere in the Ventura area, but had no idea of its exact whereabouts.  So, I, of course, enlisted the help of Mike,…

  • We’re Moving!

    We’re Moving!

    ‘ As I mentioned in Monday’s post, the Grim Cheaper and I are moving this week.  (Hopefully we won’t have any moments like this!)  So blog posts will likely be few and far between over the next couple of weeks until we get settled.  Hopefully I’ll be back up and running sooner rather than later,…

  • Spring Cleaning!

    Spring Cleaning!

    ‘ I hate to do this again, but . . . my parents came to town this past weekend to celebrate Easter with the Grim Cheaper and me and, in preparation for their visit, I spent all day Friday cleaning and tidying up our apartment.  As the GC loves to tell anyone who will listen…

  • The “Doppelganger” Mansion

    The “Doppelganger” Mansion

    ‘ Another location from the 1993 thriller Doppelganger that I dragged the Grim Cheaper out to stalk this past weekend was the mansion where Holly Gooding (aka Drew Barrymore) grew up in the flick.  I found this locale, once again, thanks to Tony, my friend and fellow stalker who has the amazing Flickr photostream which…

  • Liberace’s House from “Behind the Candelabra”

    Liberace’s House from “Behind the Candelabra”

    ‘ Two Sunday nights ago, I (along with the rest of the world) was glued to my television set watching Behind the Candelabra, the HBO biopic about legendary pianist Liberace (Michael Douglas) and his teenaged lover, Scott Thorson (Matt Damon).  I have to say that I was a bit disappointed when all was said and…

  • Tom Rose’s House from “Beverly Hills, 90210”

    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. The tour was an experience, to say the least. I honestly cannot remember the last time the GC and I laughed so hard – and for so…
