  • Olvera Street

    Olvera Street

    ‘ This weekend I dragged my boyfriend and my parents out to stalk a street that is known as the “birthplace of Los Angeles”.  The historic Olvera Street outdoor marketplace has long been a popular tourist attraction and filming location.  But its history began over 200 years ago when the area was built by early Spanish settlers.  At…

    Happy Thanksgiving!

    ‘ I would like to wish all of my fellow stalkers a very happy Thanksgiving holiday.  I am taking today as well as the rest of the week off to be with my family.  I will be back on Monday with a whole new post.  Until then, Happy Stalking! ‘

  • The Three Clubs from “Swingers”

    The Three Clubs from “Swingers”

    ‘ Besides a great coffee shop, there’s pretty much nothing I love more than an unpretentious bar/restaurant that boasts a retro vibe (as evidenced here, here, here, here, here, and here).  Add in a filming location element and I am completely smitten!  One that had been on my To-Stalk List for what seemed like eons…

  • Afton Arms – “The Boys Next Door” Apartment Building

    Afton Arms – “The Boys Next Door” Apartment Building

    ‘ A couple of months ago, Mike, from MovieShotsLA, informed me of a location that he thought was right up my alley due to its vast and storied Hollywood history – the Afton Arms apartment building from the movie The Boys Next Door.  After Mike mentioned it, I attempted to watch the 1985 flick –…

  • Willy Beachum’s House from “Fracture”

    Willy Beachum’s House from “Fracture”

    ‘ Back in early November, a fellow stalker named Eileen posted a comment on my site challenging me to find the residence where Willy Beachum (aka cutie Ryan Gosling) lived in the 2007 thriller Fracture, which is one of my all-time favorite movies.  In an extremely ironic twist of fate, at the exact moment that…

  • Frank The Tank!

    Frank The Tank!

    ‘ I have been a student at The Groundlings School for about two years now. The Groundlings is an exceptional improv school that was started in 1972 and is practically a breeding ground for Saturday Night Live actors. Some of the comedic greats who got their start at the Groundlings include Kathy Griffin, Lisa Kudrow,…

  • The View from Leonard and Sheldon’s Apartment on “The Big Bang Theory”

    The View from Leonard and Sheldon’s Apartment on “The Big Bang Theory”

    ‘ As I mentioned in Wednesday’s post, while doing research on the rooftop where Howard Wolowitz (Simon Helberg) and Bernadette Rostenkowski (Melissa Rauch) got married in the Season 5 episode of The Big Bang Theory titled “The Countdown Reflection”, I came across a TBBT forum that was an absolute treasure trove of location information.  I…

  • Today’s “Los Angeles” Magazine Post – The Disney Garage

    Today’s “Los Angeles” Magazine Post – The Disney Garage

    ‘ Sorry to have been M.I.A. for the past couple of days.  I was visiting L.A. and had the most amazing time!  The trip even included a surprise makeover for a new reality show (which I promise to blog about at a later date).  There was, unfortunately, no time for blogging, though, but I will…

  • Carrera Café – Where Your Favorite Celebrity Can Be Turned into Latte Art

    Carrera Café – Where Your Favorite Celebrity Can Be Turned into Latte Art

    ‘ When not stalking or shopping, you can typically find me perusing fashion and beauty blogs.  There are several I frequent daily including Gal Meets Glam, Atlantic-Pacific, Merrick’s Art, Cupcakes and Cashmere, and Hello Gorgeous.  The latter was founded by Angela Lanter, wife of fave actor Matt Lanter.  I started reading her site because of…

  • Moody’s Bar and Grille from “Jerry Maguire”

    Moody’s Bar and Grille from “Jerry Maguire”

    ‘ Oh, how this stalker loves herself a dark, wood-paneled bar!  There is just something so warm and inviting about them, which is probably why they are featured regularly onscreen.  One that I was quite fixated on tracking down for years was the supposed Tempe, Arizona-area “Crocodile,” where Jerry Maguire (Tom Cruise) got stood up…
