Scorpion Headquarters from “Scorpion”
‘ The Grim Cheaper and I tend to get hooked on a new series every summer. Well, truth be told, we get hooked on new series all throughout the year (The Goldbergs, Veep, and Vanderpump Rules come to mind). But during the summer months, we typically pick out a new-to-us show and binge-watch it nightly…

The California Colonic Institution from “L.A. Story”
‘ When I began my search for all of the missing L.A Story locations a few weeks back, I emailed about a million-and-a-half screen captures to fellow stalker Mike, from MovieShotsLA, in the hopes that he would be so inclined to help me out with the hunt. Thankfully, he was. One locale that we found…

Frankie’s House from “People Like Us”
‘ As I mentioned in early November in my post about Henry’s Tacos, I did not especially love the 2012 movie People Like Us as I found it to be a bit too depressing. What I did love, though, was the fact that the flick was filmed in its entirety in L.A. So after watching,…

Clark Gable’s Former House
‘ Speaking of Clark Gable . . . another location that I stalked recently was the Encino-area ranch where the “King of Hollywood” lived for over two decades. I first read about this locale, as I did yesterday’s (the Playa del Rey house where Judy Lewis, Gable and Loretta Young’s secret love child, was born),…

Premiering It With Miss Pinky Lovejoy
‘ I spent all morning yesterday taking care of some business on the West Side and then the afternoon stalking the premiere of The Possession with Miss Pinky Lovejoy, of the Thinking Pink blog, so I, unfortunately, did not have time to write a new post for today. But I will be back tomorrow with…

The “Larry Crowne” Cul-de-sac
‘ The last Larry Crowne location that I stalked recently – and there will be more coming, believe me, because Mike, from MovieShotsLA, has found quite a few others – is the cul-de-sac where Larry Crowne (aka Tom Hanks) and his garage-sale-hosting neighbors, Lamar Johnson (aka Cedric the Entertainer) and wife B’Ella Johnson (aka Taraji…
