Marie McDonald’s Former House
‘ There are strange Hollywood crimes and then there are strange Hollywood crimes. Today’s locale fits into the latter category.

Donna’s House from “Rosewood”
‘ I’ve never met a police procedural I didn’t like. When one centers around an insanely charming male lead who constantly (and comically) spars with his cynical female partner, it’s a guarantee it will make my top ten.

John Adams Middle School from “Heathers”
‘ The Grim Cheaper is a celebrity magnet. Literally everywhere he goes, he runs into someone famous. It’s maddening because 90% of these encounters occur when I am not with him. Like the time he stopped by a Starbucks while on his way to a business meeting and saw Keanu Reeves sitting outside. Or the…
