Gas Works Park from “10 Things I Hate About You”
‘ Another location that I stalked while visiting the Pacific Northwest this past May – and yes, there are still quite a few of them that I have yet to blog about – was Seattle’s famously unique Gas Works Park, the spot where Patrick Verona (aka Heath Ledger) took Kat Stratford (aka Julia Stiles) to…

Where the Stars Shop!
‘ While Rodeo Drive is the most widely known shopping mecca for the rich and famous, there is another lesser known shopping street in West Hollywood that the celebs swarm to in droves for their version of retail therapy. That street is called Robertson Boulevard and it is home to a little store named Kitson.…

Bahooka Family Restaurant from “Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas”
‘ This past Sunday morning, my mom emailed me a link to a Los Angeles Magazine article about the upcoming closure of a veritable San Gabriel Valley institution, Bahooka Family Restaurant in Rosemead, with the admonishment, “You’d better take pictures! It HAS to have been in movies.” And she was right. Bahooka has starred in…

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…

Harris’ House from “L.A. Story”
Another L.A. Story location that production designer Lawrence Miller talked about in “The L.A. of L.A. Story” featurette included on the 1991 comedy’s 15th Anniversary Edition DVD was the Spanish-style dwelling where wacky weatherman Harris K. Telemacher (Steve Martin) lived.

Cole’s House from “The Sixth Sense”
‘ Locations stick with me. They just do. Obviously. One that stuck with me above the realm of normalcy, though, is the handsome brick townhouse where Cole Sear (Haley Joel Osment) lived in The Sixth Sense. Even though I’ve only actually seen the 1999 thriller once, the image of Bruce Willis as child psychologist Malcolm…

Kirsten Dunst’s Bring It On House
‘ Well, as Vanessa Williams once sang, I definitely “saved the best for last” regarding my Bring It On posts this week. As you might have already guessed, the BIO filming location I was most excited about stalking was, of course, the ultra-cool, modern-style abode belonging to Kirsten Dunst’s character, Torrance Shipman, in the movie. Fellow…

Latest Scene It Before Post – About Joe Jost’s from “License to Wed”
‘ I pay my respects to Robin Williams today with a Los Angeles magazine post about Joe Jost’s bar, where he filmed the movie License to Wed. You can read it here. My columns typically get published in the late morning/early afternoon hours. And don’”‘”‘t forget that I’”‘”‘ll be on “The Bill Feingold Show Featuring Kevin…

Casa Vega from “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood”
‘ One of the things I most appreciate about Once Upon a Time in Hollywood is the lengths director Quentin Tarantino went to portray an authentic 1960s-era Los Angeles onscreen. To that end, he featured several local historic restaurants from the time that are, thankfully, still around today, including Musso and Frank Grill, El Coyote,…

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…
