    Sorry To Do This Again . . .

    ‘ Sorry to do this again, but I have to take another day off.  I have been burning the candle at both ends this week and, unfortunately, have not had much time for blogging.  I do promise to be back tomorrow, though (and this time I really mean it! ) with a whole new location!…

    On Location With The Mentalist!

    ‘ Yesterday morning while doing some Downtown Los Angeles stalking, I happened to stumble upon a large film crew outside of Union Station.  I, of course, asked one of the background actors what was being filmed and almost fell over when she told me it was my new favorite show, The Mentalist!!!!   I asked if Simon Baker was on set and she laughed and said “Everyone’”‘”‘s been…

    Scorpion Headquarters from “Scorpion”

    ‘ The Grim Cheaper and I tend to get hooked on a new series every summer.  Well, truth be told, we get hooked on new series all throughout the year (The Goldbergs, Veep, and Vanderpump Rules come to mind).  But during the summer months, we typically pick out a new-to-us show and binge-watch it nightly…

    Tacos Jalisco from “A Star Is Born”

    ‘ Stumbling upon filmings used to be a regular occurrence when I lived in L.A.  Sadly, that is not the case in Palm Springs.  So I was thrilled – and shocked – to happen upon A Star Is Born being shot at desert eatery Tacos Jalisco while on a Windmill Tour with the Grim Cheaper…

    Afeni Shakur’s House from “Unsolved: The Murders of Tupac & the Notorious B.I.G.”

    ‘ I am unnaturally obsessed with pretty much all things southern – southern accents (what I wouldn’t give for a slow, lilting twang!), homemade fried chicken, and large plantation-style houses, among many others.  So I, of course, immediately fixated on the huge columned estate where Afeni Shakur (Sola Bamis) lived on Unsolved: The Murders of…

    The Old Towne Orange Starbucks from “That Thing You Do!”

    ‘ “We met at Starbucks.  Not at the same Starbucks, but we saw each other at different Starbucks across the street from each other.”  So says Meg Swan (Parker Posey) about meeting her husband, Hamilton (Michael Hitchcock), in the 2000 comedy Best in Show.  (You can watch the hilarious scene here.)  Meg might well have…

    The “Our House” House

    ‘ Two weeks ago, fellow stalker Cait posted a comment on my site challenging me to find the home where the Witherspoon family – Gus (aka Wilford Brimley), Jessie (aka Deidre Hall), David (aka Chad Allen), Molly (aka Keri Houlihan), and Kris (aka my girl Shannen Doherty) – lived in the 1980′”‘”‘s television series Our…

    Cameron’s Seafood from “Say Anything . . . “

    ‘ The restaurant business is an insanely fickle one.  So when I set out to find the eatery where Diane Court (Ione Skye) lunched with her mom, Mrs. Court (Lois Chiles), and her mom’s boyfriend, Ray (Stephen Shortridge), in the 1989 flick Say Anything . . . a few years back, I never dreamed it…
