    More Dog!

    ‘ Finally I am back online – with another Dog post. I swear, I was about ready to throw my stupid computer off the lanai I was so annoyed with the internet problems. LOL With getting bumped off the internet constantly, I literally think I have spent about three hours trying to complete this post.…

    Coachella 2019

    ‘ Longtime readers of this site know that my musical tastes do not run the gamut.  As I’ve said many times, if it is not sung by Britney Spears, Michael Bublé or Michael Jackson, or was produced in any decade other than the ‘80s, odds are I don’t know it.  But when I was offered…

    The Magic Castle

    ‘ Happy Halloween!  I can’t believe the season is already coming to a close!  October 31st is always bittersweet for me because, though my favorite holiday, it marks the end of my Haunted Hollywood postings for the year.  For my last go round of 2018, I thought I’d blog about one of Los Angeles’ most…

    The Knickerbocker Hotel

    ‘ I don’t think there is any property in Los Angeles, perhaps the world, that has seen as much glamour and as much tragedy as the former Knickerbocker Hotel in Hollywood.  Today, the Renaissance Revival/Beau Arts-style structure, which was once dubbed “The Hotel to the Stars,” serves as a retirement home.  And oh, if those…

    Michael Jackson’s Former Condo

    ‘ A few months back I read a fabulous book named Michael Jackson: The Magic, The Madness, The Whole Story written by author J. Randy Taraborelli about the life and times of the King of Pop.  I’ve mentioned the biography once before in a post I wrote back in September about the Jackson Family’s first…

    The Derby Restaurant from “Step Brothers”

    ‘ During a recent visit to Los Angeles, the Grim Cheaper and I stayed at an Arcadia hotel that just so happened to be located right across the street from a nine-decades old eatery that I had always wanted to stalk – The Derby Restaurant, which was featured in the 2008 comedy Step Brothers.  As…

  • More Halloween!

    More Halloween!

    ‘ Last year, during our annual Haunted Halloween tour, I dragged my boyfriend to the two houses where Jamie Lee Curtis and her friend babysit in the movie Halloween. The final action sequence in the movie takes place at these two houses, which are located across the street from each other. Even though I had…

    The Spot Where the Black Dahlia’s Body Was Found

    ‘ One Haunted Hollywood locale that I had wanted to stalk pretty much ever since first moving to Southern California in 2000 was the spot where the dismembered body of Elizabeth Short, aka the “Black Dahlia,” was found on the morning of January 15th, 1947.  Over six decades later and the case is still one…
