    Zipper Concert Hall from “The West Wing”

    ‘ Most actors will tell you that extra work is the worst.  But when I first landed in L.A. back in 2000, I did quite a bit of it and couldn’t have enjoyed myself more.  Just being on a movie or television set was surreal and provided an indelible opportunity to observe the inner workings…

    The “Girls Just Want to Have Fun” Park

    ‘ Today’s post was a true labor of love – one that required stalking a location three separate times and a massive amount of help from a fellow stalker named Michael.  While most of the locales from the 1985 movie Girls Just Want to Have Fun (one of my all-time faves) have been tracked down…

  • The “Party of Five” House

    The “Party of Five” House

    ‘ Sunday night I returned home from my bachelorette party weekend, which turned out to be a surprise Sex and the City-themed soiree thrown up north in San Francisco.  Needless to say, I was absolutely FLOORED about it.  🙂  The celebration was, of course, held at a filming location, so I will, of course, be…

  • The “L.A. Confidential” Christmas Eve Pot Bust House

    The “L.A. Confidential” Christmas Eve Pot Bust House

    ‘ Some might not consider the subject of today’s post a Christmas location.  It’s certainly not from a holiday flick, that’s for sure.  But the scene that was shot there took place on Christmas Eve, so I figured it was fair game.  For those who do not recognize the pad pictured above, it was at…

    ‘ My good friends Lavonna and Kim are in town this week visiting from Ohio and we spent all day yesterday touring various studios, including one of my personal favorites – the Warner Bros. Ranch.  So I, unfortunately, did not have time to write a new post for today.  But I will be back tomorrow…

  • Charmed, I’m Sure!

    Charmed, I’m Sure!

    ‘ Just got a challenge to find the house – but that is an easy one!  🙂  The house is located on Carroll Avenue, a historic block of Victorian homes near Echo Park that is used constantly for filming.  The Charmed house is the purple one located at 1329 Carroll Avenue – and the same…

    The Filming Locations of “Big Little Lies” Season 2 – “I Want to Know”

    ‘ Season 2 of Big Little Lies comes to an end with “I Want to Know,” as does my episode-by-episode coverage of its locations.  Hope you enjoyed reading through the posts as much as I enjoyed putting them together.  So, without further ado . . . (Note – as was the case with my posts…

    Happy Labor Day!

    ‘ I would like to wish all of my fellow stalkers a happy and safe Labor Day!  I am taking today off, but will be back on Wednesday with a new location.  Until that time, happy stalking! ‘

  • The Blast from the Past Strip Mall

    The Blast from the Past Strip Mall

    ‘ Since I was in the area this past week stalking a wedding venue, I decided to pay a little visit to the strip mall featured in fave romantic comedy Blast from the Past.  In the flick, which opens up in the year 1962, a nuclear-war-fearing Christopher Walken builds a massive fallout shelter for his wife…

  • The Burger That Ate L.A. from “Melrose Place”

    The Burger That Ate L.A. from “Melrose Place”

    ‘ Way back in July 2009, a fellow stalker named Zoe emailed me to ask for some help in tracking down a hamburger-shaped restaurant that had appeared regularly in establishing shots on the original Melrose Place. Because I had never really watched the series, though, and had never noticed a burger-shaped eatery in all my…
