  • The Willmore from “Rosewood”

    The Willmore from “Rosewood”

    ‘ The Grim Cheaper and I became obsessed with a myriad of new shows this year, namely Blindspot, Quantico (though I think that one may have already jumped the shark), The Family, Limitless, The Grinder (those last three have, sadly, all been cancelled), and Rosewood.  Oh, how we love Rosewood.   The police procedural perfectly…

  • The Virginia Street Bridge from “The Misfits”

    The Virginia Street Bridge from “The Misfits”

    ‘ Another Marilyn Monroe location that I dragged my dad and grandmother out to stalk while visiting Reno, Nevada last month was the famed Virginia Street Bridge, aka the “Bridge of Sighs”, which was featured in the 1961 film The Misfits.  As I mentioned in last Friday’s post about the Washoe Country Courthouse, during the…

  • The Night Before the Night Before Party

    The Night Before the Night Before Party

    ‘ Last night I dragged my boyfriend to the Regent Beverly Wilshire Hotel to do a little stalking of the “Night Before the Night Before Party” that was being held at Wolfgang Puck’”‘”‘s restaurant Cut located inside the hotel. I must say that aside from seeing Jeffrey Katzenberg (who is teeny tiny!!), the night was…

  • “The Vanishing” Apartment Building

    “The Vanishing” Apartment Building

    ‘ Today’s location is an oldie, but goodie.  Waaaaaaaaaaay back in May 2010, the Grim Cheaper and I took a little pre-wedding stalking vacation to the Pacific Northwest to visit our good friends fellow stalker Kerry and her husband, Jim – and to see the grocery store where Michael Buble’s “Haven’t Met You Yet” music…

  • The Cecil B. DeMille Estate

    The Cecil B. DeMille Estate

    ‘ This past April, the Grim Cheaper’s best friend came to town for a visit and, while he was here, he invited us over for dinner at his parents’ house.  Well, believe you me, because his parents live in the gated Los Feliz celebrity enclave known as Laughlin Park, there was very little arm-twisting involved…

  • The Rindge House from “The Brasher Doubloon”

    The Rindge House from “The Brasher Doubloon”

    ‘ There are few things the Grim Cheaper loves more than historic sites.  So when we came across a massive dwelling that appeared to have a past while on our way to stalk the Beckett Residence in September 2012, we stopped to take a closer look.  Figuring the place had appeared onscreen at some point,…

  • Grand Central Market from “Bosch”

    Grand Central Market from “Bosch”

    ‘ Happy 2019, my fellow stalkers!  I was originally going to write about a different locale today, one that was sadly lost in the Woolsey Fire, but decided it would be best to start the year off on a happier note.  So instead I’m covering a quintessential Los Angeles spot that I have stalked countless…

    New “L.A.” Magazine Post – “The Karate Kid” Dojo

    ‘ Be sure to read today’s Scene It Before post for Los Angeles magazine – about the dojo from the 1984 classic The Karate Kid.  You can find it here.  My columns typically get published in the late morning/early afternoon hours. ‘

  • My Guide to L.A. – Bars

    My Guide to L.A. – Bars

    ‘ When I lived in L.A., one of my favorite things to do was grab a drink with the Grim Cheaper at a different bar every Saturday night.  I loved discovering, cocktail in hand, the myriad of fabulous lounges the city has to offer, many of them historic.  That being said, I am in no…

  • The Levitt Pavilion MacArthur Park Bandshell from “New Girl”

    The Levitt Pavilion MacArthur Park Bandshell from “New Girl”

    ‘ Brace yourselves, my fellow stalkers, because today’s post is going to be a long one!  Another New Girl location that my good friend/fellow stalker Lavonna asked me to track down recently was the park where Jess (Zooey Deschanel) held a recital for her “Ensembell” bell choir in the Season 1 episode titled “Bells”.  This…
