    The Ansonia from “Single White Female”

    ‘ There is no shortage of strikingly beautiful, ornately embellished buildings on New York’s Upper West Side.  I blogged about one of them, The Apthorp, and the circuitous route some friends and I took to stalk it on Friday.  That route included a stop at another gorgeous UWS structure, The Ansonia, easily one of the…

    The “Christmas Vacation” Pool

    ‘ Another Christmas-themed locale that I had long wanted to track down and stalk was Clark W. Griswold’s (Chevy Chase’s) dream pool from the 1989 classic Christmas Vacation.  (Is it odd, by the way, that I can still remember exactly where I was and who I was with the first time I saw the flick…

    The Thriller Movie Theatre

    ‘ Michael Jackson‘”‘”‘s Thriller is, in my humble opinion, the best music video ever created.
