    The Culver City Hobbit Houses

    ‘ I have a major affinity for unique architecture.  So when I came across this CurbedLA article about the Lawrence and Martha Joseph Residence and Apartments, a grouping of Storybook-style structures in Culver City colloquially known as the “Hobbit houses,” I just about foamed at the mouth.  The complex looks like something straight out of…

  • Police Doubt Fire . . .

    Police Doubt Fire . . .

    ‘ One of my favorite movie lines of all time is “It was a run-by fruiting!” from Mrs. Doubtfire – Robin William says the line to Pierce Brosnan after throwing a piece of fruit at his head at the local pool. LOL So, this weekend, the Mrs. Doubtfire house was on my must-see list of…

    Barnsdall Art Park from “Big Little Lies”

    ‘ The Grim Cheaper is easily the most creative gift-giver I know.  Not only does he find incredibly thoughtful presents, but he always comes up with highly unique ways of presenting them.  I have only ever managed to match his ingenuity on rare occasions – one being Valentine’s Day 2011 when I created a scavenger…

  • The Griffin from “NCIS”

    The Griffin from “NCIS”

    ‘ Today’s location comes with a caveat.  Last Saturday evening while in L.A. for a brief visit, I headed to The Griffin, an Atwater Village bar I had been dying to stalk ever since seeing it in an episode of NCIS almost three years ago.  The place did not disappoint and I started writing this…

  • Another Day Off

    ‘ I am taking the day off once again as I spent all day yesterday in the hospital with my dad.  He should be coming home today, though, so hopefully I will be able to write a new post for tomorrow.  Thanks to all of my fellow stalkers for their well wishes and kind words – they mean…

    Liberace’s Former House

    ‘ This weekend, while visiting the desert, and thanks to my friend EJ at the Movieland Directory, I got to stalk Liberace‘”‘”‘s former Palm Springs manse. His home is an absolutely beautiful Mediterranean estate and there is no doubt whatsoever that it once belonged to Liberace. Besides the large candelabra located in front of the…

  • The “Punky Brewster” Building

    The “Punky Brewster” Building

    ‘ Back in early July, a fellow stalker named Charles posted a comment on my Challenge Lindsay page asking me to track down the building where Punky Brewster (Soleil Moon Frye) lived with her adoptive father, curmudgeon Henry Warnimont (George Gaynes), in the 1980s television series Punky Brewster. Now this stalker absolutely LOVED herself some…

    Dolly Oesterreich’s House

    ‘ It is finally that time again, my fellow stalkers – time for my annual Haunted Hollywood postings!  I, for one, could not be more excited!  Though I should mention here that postings this year will be rather light as I have two trips planned this month (as I mentioned last week, I’ve traveled more…
