  • “The Hangover” Gas Station

    “The Hangover” Gas Station

    ‘ The Grim Cheaper and I spent last week in Las Vegas on a business/pleasure trip (hence the lack of recent blog posts).  While there, we were lucky enough to stay at Caesars Palace (post on that location coming soon!) and found ourselves constantly quoting lines from The Hangover.  So one evening we decided to…

  • George Nader’s Former Home

    George Nader’s Former Home

    ‘ Earlier this year, while doing research on the various Coachella Valley-area houses formerly owned by pianist Liberace, I came across a blurb in fave book Palm Springs Confidential about the city’s first ever triple homicide, which took place in a Las Palmas Estates residence that once belonged to actor George Nader.  After wiping the…

  • Bradley’s Mom’s House from “The Morning Show”

    Bradley’s Mom’s House from “The Morning Show”

    ‘ The Morning Show really threw me for a loop, location-wise (as I mentioned in this recent post).  Set in NYC, I got through the entire first episode of the new Apple TV+ series thinking it was shot in the Big Apple, as well.  I did have a couple moments of hesitation in that belief…

  • Another Day Off

    Another Day Off

    ‘ I hate to do this again, but because I spent most of yesterday as a reader at the annual Read-In at the school where my mom used to teach, I did not have time to write a new blog post for today.  (The door decoration that the class I read for made for me…

  • The Malibu House from “Spanglish”

    The Malibu House from “Spanglish”

    ‘ A few weeks ago, fellow stalker Nick was driving along the Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu with his family when he happened to pass by a home that looked extremely familiar to him.  He immediately asked the driver of the car to pull over so that he could get a better look and, upon…

  • Healdsburg Town Plaza from “Scream”

    Healdsburg Town Plaza from “Scream”

    ‘ I was saddened to wake up to the news of yet another fire tearing through Sonoma County last Thursday morning, this one threatening Healdsburg, one of my favorite places in the entire world.  Not only is the city idyllic, pastoral and ridiculously charming, but it is a filming location to boot, the main square…

  • The Donna Martin Graduates Protest Site

    The Donna Martin Graduates Protest Site

    ‘ As big of a Beverly Hills, 90210 fan as I am, it will probably come as a shock to learn that up until recently I had yet to stalk the spot where one of the show’s most iconic moments was filmed – Burbank City Hall, aka the Donna Martin Graduates protest site from the…

  • Cameron Frye’s House

    Cameron Frye’s House

    ‘ Last Wednesday morning I almost fell out of my chair as I opened up my email account and saw an AOL news headline screaming out at me “Ferris Bueller’”‘”‘s Day Off   House For Sale!”  At first, I thought the article was talking about the Long Beach area home that stood in for Ferris’”‘”‘ in the film.  But, in reality, it is the…

  • Scout Bar from “Sex and the City”

    Scout Bar from “Sex and the City”

    ‘ Yet another Sex and the City location that I stalked while in New York last month was O’Nieals Grand Street Bar, which stood in for Scout, the watering hole owned by Carrie and Miranda’s ex-boyfriends, Aidan and Steve, on the show.  And even though I had actually stalked this location during last year’s New…

  • "Welcome Home, Baby"

    "Welcome Home, Baby"

    ‘ Got home from New York on Tuesday afternoon and was already so homesick for my favorite city in the world that I had to immediately sit down and watch the Sex and the City movie in its two and a half hour entirety to make myself feel better. So today I thought I’”‘”‘d blog…
