The Water Garden from “A to Z”
‘ During my recent viewing of A to Z’s digital preview (which you can watch here – I’ve now seen it twice!), I recognized a location featured in it – The Water Garden in Santa Monica. The Grim Cheaper used to live close to the office complex and I had driven by it countless times…

The Skyline Residence – Jacob’s House from “Crazy, Stupid, Love.”
‘ Back in August, I received an email from a fellow stalker named Brandon who wanted to let me know that he had tracked down the ultra-modern abode where Jacob Palmer (aka Ryan Gosling) lived in Crazy, Stupid, Love. At the time I had yet to see the movie, but added the address to my…

Gray’s Papaya from “Sex and the City”
‘ You will never catch anyone calling me a “foodie.” My palate leans much more toward comfort than epicurean with meals of choice consisting of chicken strips and ranch dressing, turkey and mashed potatoes, and hot dogs. I am a hot dog fanatic. My favorite spot to grab a ‘furter is Gray’s Papaya in New…

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 L.A. Hotel Downtown from “How to Get Away with Murder”
‘ UPDATE – This hotel is now known as “The L.A. Grand Hotel Downtown.” Sometimes while viewing a television show or movie, I become absolutely transfixed by a location.

Happy Fourth of July!
‘ I will be taking the next couple of days off from blogging in order to celebrate the Fourth of July weekend with the Grim Cheaper and Mike, from MovieShotsLA, who is in town for a visit. (Yay!) I know, I know – I just got back from a two-week vacation! But such is life.…

“Christmas with the Kranks” Studio Locations
‘ Since I have been on such a Christmas with the Kranks kick as of late, I thought I’d finish out this year’s Yuletide posts by blogging about the movie’s studio locations. The 2004 comedy was unusual in that it utilized the backlots of not one, not two, but three different L.A.-area studios! The main…

The Sex and the City Honeymoon House
‘ Ever since Sex and the City: The Movie premiered last May, I have been absolutely dying to stalk the hotel where the girls stayed during Carrie’”‘”‘s non-honeymoon. In the movie, Carrie, Samantha, Miranda, and Charlotte spend a week at what is supposedly a private villa located on the grounds of a Mexican resort. In actuality, though, not only…

The Firehouse from “Ghostbusters”
‘ This past weekend while doing some stalking in Downtown L.A. I dragged my fiancé out to see an oft-used filming location that has long been at the top of my “To-Stalk” list. That location is known as Fire Station #23, a real life former working fire house that served as the offices of Dr.…
