  • JW Marriott Desert Springs Resort & Spa from “Saved by the Bell”

    JW Marriott Desert Springs Resort & Spa from “Saved by the Bell”

    ‘ This Labor Day, Lifetime is set to air The Unauthorized Saved by the Bell Story about the making of the Saturday morning classic which ran from 1989-1993.  Um, YAY!  (How did I not know about this, by the way??  Ordering it now!)  While the show was admittedly as cheesy as they come, I loved…

  • The “Father of the Bride” Grocery Store

    The “Father of the Bride” Grocery Store

    ‘ Due to my parents’ recent move and my dad’s recent hospital stay, I have sadly not had time to do much stalking as of late.  While in Palm Springs this past weekend my mom happened to ask me if I had some locations stockpiled (or should I say “stalkpiled”? ) for times such as…

  • Happy Martin Luther King, Jr. Day

    Happy Martin Luther King, Jr. Day

    ‘ Because I am spending the three day weekend in Palm Springs with my family, I will be taking today off from blogging.  But I’ll be back tomorrow with a whole new post.  In the meantime, I’d like to wish all of my fellow stalkers a Happy Martin Luther King, Jr. Day.  I hope you…

    My Latest Mike the Fanboy Article – About the “Pretty Little Liars”: Made Here Exhibit

    ‘ I am finally back from my surprise whirlwind vacation!  As it turns out, my best friends flew in from Switzerland for 9 days to spend my 40th with me, along with my parents and the Grim Cheaper.  Though we were originally supposed to spend our time on Coronado Island in San Diego, thanks to…

  • The New York Palace Hotel

    The New York Palace Hotel

    ‘ Yet another Gossip Girl location that I set out to stalk during this year’s Manhattan vacation was the New York Palace Hotel, a locale which has appeared in pretty much every single episode of the series since it began back in 2007.   Truth be told, though, I actually first stalked this location quite a…

  • Barney’s Beanery in West Hollywood

    Barney’s Beanery in West Hollywood

    ‘ Another location that has long been stockpiled (or should I say stalk-piled?) in my ever-growing stalking backlog is the original Barney’s Beanery restaurant in West Hollywood, which has been featured in numerous productions over the years and which I visited with fellow stalker Chas, from the It’sFilmedThere website, this past July.  For whatever reason,…

  • Weatherwolde Castle

    Weatherwolde Castle

    ‘ It is not everyday one comes across a mention of a random castle located on a sleepy residential street in Los Angeles.  So when I found out about Weatherwolde Castle in Tujunga thanks to this page on the Dupont Castle website a couple of summers ago, I took immediate note and started researching further. …

  • Yvette Vickers’ Former Home

    Yvette Vickers’ Former Home

    ‘ Boulevard of broken dreams – that phrase pops into my head every time I venture down Hollywood Boulevard and see the men and woman costumed as super heroes or movie stars charging tourists to take a photograph with them.  I can’t imagine it is what anyone who sets out for Los Angeles hopes to…

  • The Cliffhouse Restaurant from “City of Industry”

    The Cliffhouse Restaurant from “City of Industry”

    ‘ For our first wedding anniversary this past weekend, the Grim Cheaper and I headed out to the desert to spend a few days at the La Quinta Resort & Club, a historic hotel and popular celebrity hangout which I blogged about extensively last December.  The GC’s brother, who works for the Hilton Hotels chain,…

  • The Virgil from “A Star Is Born”

    The Virgil from “A Star Is Born”

    ‘ I got a text from my friend Liz the other day saying, “Don’t see A Star Is Born . . . OMG!” followed by a bunch of crying face emojis.  As Liz and most of my fellow stalkers are well aware, I do not like sad or depressing movies – at all.  Liz needn’t…
