    Gray’s Papaya

    ‘ I know I have blogged about this location briefly once before in my , but I think this is one location that is worthy of its very own blog post. So here goes. 🙂 I have long been a fan of Gray’”‘”‘s Papaya, a small hot dog stand/restaurant chain that was started in 1973…

  • The Standard Hotel Rooftop Bar in Downtown Los Angeles

    The Standard Hotel Rooftop Bar in Downtown Los Angeles

    ‘ Another Fracture filming location that I recently stalked – without actually realizing it – was the Standard Hotel’s Rooftop Bar in Downtown L.A.  I say “without actually realizing it” because at the time I stalked the place I had no idea it was a filming location.   I ended up there while on the way…

  • Pickwick Bowl from “Parks and Recreation”

    Pickwick Bowl from “Parks and Recreation”

    ‘ While watching the Season 4 episode of Parks and Recreation titled “Bowling for Votes” back in June, I wondered aloud about at which bowling alley filming had taken place.  The Grim Cheaper, who happened to hear me, looked up from his ever-present laptop and said, “That’s Pickwick Bowl – part of Pickwick Gardens –…

    The “If U Seek Amy” House

    ‘ A few weeks ago, Miss Britney Spears debuted her new video for the third single off her Circus  album, the controversially titled “If U Seek Amy”.  So, of course, I just had to watch!  I was actually pretty excited about this video, as many critics were proclaiming that the old Britney was finally back.  I was hoping for…

    Orange Army-Navy from “That Thing You Do!”

    ‘ Another day, another That Thing You Do! locale.  It is one of my all-time favorite movies, after all!  In early December, the Grim Cheaper and I found ourselves in the O.C. and decided to head out to Old Towne Orange to do some Christmas shopping.  While perusing the charming streets and boutiques, I was…

    The Los Angeles Filming Locations of “Glow”

    ‘ Be sure to check out my latest article for Los Angeles magazine detailing the filming locations of Glow, the new Netflix comedy series about a 1980s female wrestling organization.  I have to admit that when my editor first pitched me the story, I was skeptical.  The show did not sound like my cup of…

    My So-Called Weekend, Part II

    ‘ This weekend, thanks to a few tips from my new stalking buddy Andrew (who posted a comment on my first ), I set out to do some more stalking. The first location I stalked was the Burlington Arcade, a covered shopping colonnade located just off Lake Avenue in Pasadena. I knew from IMDB that…

  • Kent’s House from “Wicked City”

    Kent’s House from “Wicked City”

    ‘ I cannot express how disappointed I am that ABC cancelled Wicked City.  I’ll admit that I was not very impressed with the series’ pilot episode, but I think that was mainly due to the fact that it was rather jarring to see Ed Westwick (one of my absolute faves!) portraying a serial killer.  The…

  • The “Black-ish” House

    The “Black-ish” House

    ‘ My good friend/fellow stalker Lavonna is obsessed with the show Black-ish.  Von was supposed to fly out to L.A. for a visit along with our friends Kim and Katie this past June, but ended up not being able to.  So in honor of her, during our trip we all went to stalk the home…
