“Parks and Recreation” Filming at Vroman’s Bookstore in Pasadena
‘ Last Wednesday, while on my morning walk to Starbucks, I happened to pass by fave bookstore Vroman’s and just about fell over when I noticed an entire slew of production trucks parked out front. I, of course, immediately sought out one of the crew members to ask what was being filmed and he told…

LA Not So Confidential
‘ For years my mom has been begging me to do some stalking of one of her favorite movies, LA Confidential.

Pasadena Elks Lodge from “Veep”
‘ Anyone who has visited Pasadena has likely taken note of the sprawling pillared building situated on the southeast corner of Colorado and Orange Grove Boulevards.

Bolthouse Productions – Where Heidi "Works"
‘ On The Hills, Heidi supposedly works at the event planning company Bolthouse Productions. I say “supposedly” not because I doubt that she actually works there, but because I doubt that she actually does any work. It seems the only two things Heidi ever does while at “work” are gossip with various co-workers about her…

Chez Cherie Cooking School from “I Love New York”
‘ This year for Christmas, I decided to gift the Grim Cheaper with tickets to a cooking class. The GC is an absolutely FABULOUS cook, while I, on the other hand, can hardly crack an egg, as I mentioned in my January 2010 post about the home where Julia Child grew up. So I thought…
