    The Fake Fendi Apartment Building from “Sex and the City”

    ‘ My favorite moment from the two Sex and the City episodes that took place in Los Angeles (Season 3’s “Escape from New York” and “Sex and Another City”) was when Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker) and Samantha Jones (Kim Cattrall) attempted to buy fake designer purses at a seedy apartment building somewhere in the…

    The Daily Grill at LAX from “Friends With Benefits”

    ‘ While watching Friends With Benefits this past July, I just about fell out of my theatre seat when I realized that one of the flick’s more pivotal scenes had been filmed at the Daily Grill restaurant inside of the Tom Bradley International Terminal at Los Angeles International Airport – an eatery that I am…

  • The “Ocean’s Eleven” House

    The “Ocean’s Eleven” House

    ‘ One location that I dragged the Grim Cheaper out to stalk last weekend while vacationing in Palm Springs was the supposed-Las-Vegas, Nevada-area residence where Reuben Tishkoff (aka Elliot Gould) lived in the 2001 heist movie Ocean’s Eleven.  I had absolutely fallen in love with the mid-century-modern-style residence while first watching the film just about…

  • Chabelita Tacos from “Truth or Dare”

    Chabelita Tacos from “Truth or Dare”

    ‘ Roadside taco stands don’t usually conjure up images of the macabre.  Today’s locale is no different.  In fact, the eatery – Chabelita Tacos – is a bright and colorful addition to the Harvard Heights skyline.  But since it did appear in a memorable scene in the 2018 horror flick Truth or Dare, I thought…

  • The Incorrectly Identified “Leave It to Beaver” House

    The Incorrectly Identified “Leave It to Beaver” House

    ‘ Last week, the latest issue of Los Angeles Magazine arrived in my mailbox and I, of course, tore the thing right open and devoured it in one sitting, as I do pretty much every month. Particularly fascinating was a feature titled “Affairs of Estate” about three unique communities in L.A., one of which –…

  • The Beverly Hills, 90210 Spring Dance!

    The Beverly Hills, 90210 Spring Dance!

    ‘ A few weeks ago, I happened to pop in my Beverly Hills, 90210 Season 1 DVDs to watch the “Spring Dance” episode – one of my very favorite 90210episodes of all time!  As I scrolled through the DVD menu, I realized that, unbelievably, I had yet to watch that episode accompanied by the commentary by series’”‘”‘…

    The Shannen Doherty “Badass” Book Signing

    ‘ This past Tuesday night, the Grim Cheaper, fellow stalker Erika, and I all headed out to the Grove Shopping Center in Los Angeles to attend the Shannen Doherty Badass book signing and, as you can probably well imagine, I could NOT have been more excited about it!  As I was telling the GC on…

  • Jackie Robinson Stadium from “Never Been Kissed”

    Jackie Robinson Stadium from “Never Been Kissed”

    ‘ One location that I attempted to stalk far more times than I actually care to admit is the supposed Chicago, Illinois-area Municipal Stadium where Sam Coulson (aka Michael Vartan) kissed Josie Geller (aka Drew Barrymore) for the very first time during the final scene of fave movie Never Been Kissed.  Fellow stalker Owen had…

  • The Painted Nail from “Nail Files”

    The Painted Nail from “Nail Files”

    ‘ Back in November, when my good friends, fellow stalkers Lavonna, Melissa, Beth, Kim, and Sandy, came out to Los Angeles from Ohio for a little stalking vacay, Lavonna booked them all a pampering session at The Painted Nail in Sherman Oaks – the salon that is featured regularly on the TV Guide Network’s reality…

  • Fair Oaks Burger from “Little Fires Everywhere”

    Fair Oaks Burger from “Little Fires Everywhere”

    ‘ I have never been a burger girl (I know, I know), but I’ve long been familiar with Altadena staple Fair Oaks Burger.  The veteran eatery sits at the northern end of Fair Oaks Avenue and, though I never popped in for a bite, I passed by it countless times throughout the 15+ years I…
