  • Melrose Avenue from “L.A. Story”

    Melrose Avenue from “L.A. Story”

    ‘ Another L.A. Story location that has been waiting patiently in my stalking backlog is the block of Melrose Avenue where Harris K. Telemacher (Steve Martin) and Sara McDowel (Victoria Tennant) walked and talked after attending a fundraiser for a private art museum in the 1991 flick.  Unfortunately though, because the movie was lensed over…

  • The “(500) Days of Summer” Bench

    The “(500) Days of Summer” Bench

    ‘ Another Downtown Los Angeles location that my fiancé and I stalked this past weekend was the famous bench from 2009’s indie hit (500) Days of Summer.  A few weeks ago, fellow stalker Eileen emailed me to tell me of the bench’s location and to send me the above photograph of herself and her roommate…

  • Happy Trails Catering from “Big Little Lies”

    Happy Trails Catering from “Big Little Lies”

    ‘ UPDATE – Sadly, Happy Trails Catering is no longer open.  The restaurant closed in 2018 and its beautiful garden currently sits vacant. As you probably noticed, I was unexpectedly MIA for most of last week.  My dad had an experimental five-day procedure done at a hospital in Orange County, so my family and I…

  • Cordon’s Ranch Market from “Christmas with the Kranks”
  • The House from “The Brady Brides”

    The House from “The Brady Brides”

    ‘ I’m sad to say that we’ve arrived at the final day of my friend Michael’s guest post week. I have thoroughly enjoyed all of his fabulous articles (you check them out here, here, here and here – as well as his prior The Brady Bunch-related guest articles here, here, here and here.).  Today we…

  • The Ella Strong Denison Library from “Beaches”

    The Ella Strong Denison Library from “Beaches”

    ‘ Libraries are very much on my brain as of late.  It’s all thanks to Matilda and the post I wrote about the Wormwood home last week.  While scanning through the 1996 film making screen captures, I became awestruck by the incredible book repository where young Matilda (Sara Magdalin) regularly hung out.  Though countless websites…

  • The Warehouse Restaurant from “Anger Management”

    The Warehouse Restaurant from “Anger Management”

    ‘ While visiting L.A. last week, the Grim Cheaper and I stayed in Marina del Rey.  One late afternoon, during a waterfront stroll, we found ourselves passing by a unique eatery that had long been on my To-Stalk List.  Situated on the bustling Admiralty Way amongst upscale hotels and high-rise apartment buildings, the nautical-themed The…

  • Michael Jackson’s Walk of Fame Star

    Michael Jackson’s Walk of Fame Star

    ‘ Still saddened by the sudden death of Michael Jackson, early yesterday afternoon I decided to pay my respects to the legendary pop star by visiting his Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.  I thought I would post the pictures I took while there for those of you who do not live in the L.A. area and cannot visit…

  • Shannen Doherty’s Former Mulholland Drive Rental

    Shannen Doherty’s Former Mulholland Drive Rental

    ‘ Another locale that I found thanks to Hollywood Death and Scandal Sites, the fabulous book written by my buddy E.J. of The Movieland Directory, was the house at 13459 Mulholland Drive that was once rented by my girl Shannen Doherty and that was also the location of her ill-fated 1993 nuptials to Ashley Hamilton,…

  • Palm Springs Weekend!

    Palm Springs Weekend!

    ‘ This past Friday morning the Grim Cheaper and I headed out to Palm Springs for a little three-day getaway and, while I did manage to sneak some stalking into the trip, I was unfortunately not able to write a blog post for today. But I will be back tomorrow with a whole new location,…
