    Tom Rose’s House from “Beverly Hills, 90210”

    ‘ This past weekend, the Grim Cheaper surprised me with tickets for the Children’s Discovery Museum of the Desert annual Discovery Home Tour as a sort-of Welcome-to-Palm-Springs gift. The tour was an experience, to say the least. I honestly cannot remember the last time the GC and I laughed so hard – and for so…

  • A New York State of Mind . . .

    A New York State of Mind . . .

    ‘ The Grim Cheaper and I are heading to New York for the week and I could NOT be more excited!  Manhattan is pretty much my favorite place in the world and not only has it been almost seven years since our last visit, but we are also meeting up with some of our closest…

  • The Ladies’ Villa from Season 1 of “The Bachelor”

    The Ladies’ Villa from Season 1 of “The Bachelor”

    ‘ Another location that I became obsessed with tracking down thanks to the Best of The Bachelor DVD that my girl Miss Pinky Lovejoy, of the Thinking Pink blog, recently gifted me was the so-called “Ladies’ Villa” – the Mediterranean-style manse where the female contestants lived during the filming of the popular reality series’ inaugural…

  • The “Wicked City” Library

    The “Wicked City” Library

    ‘ I have one more Wicked City location up my sleeve (for the time being, at least – I did track down a couple of others after watching the recently-released final five episodes, but have yet to stalk them) – the former Second Church of Christ, Scientist in West Adams, which masked as an L.A.…

  • The “Black Sheep” House

    The “Black Sheep” House

    ‘ Another location that Mike, from MovieShotsLA, and I stalked last Monday afternoon was the supposed Buckley, Washington-area home where Mike Donnelly (aka Chris Farley) lived in the 1996 comedy Black Sheep.  Fellow stalker Owen tracked down this location – along with pretty much every other locale which appeared in the movie – quite a…

    New “L.A.” Mag Post – About Zelda’s Apartment from “A to Z”

    ‘ Don’t forget to check out my latest Los Angeles magazine post – about Zelda’s apartment from A to Z.  My articles typically get published in the late morning/early afternoon hours. ‘

  • The Villa Del Sol from “Rosewood”

    The Villa Del Sol from “Rosewood”

    ‘ The Baader-Meinhof Phenomenon is a term used to describe the experience of coming across an obscure word, thing, or piece of information for the first time and then subsequently happening upon references to that same word, thing, or piece of information on a regular basis.  I had never heard of it until fellow stalker/guest…

  • The Parking Lot Where Jack McKay was Killed on “Beverly Hills, 90210”

    The Parking Lot Where Jack McKay was Killed on “Beverly Hills, 90210”

    ‘ This past Saturday (which, as you can see above, was extremely overcast and cloudy – boo!), Mike, from MovieShotsLa, and I spent all day stalking in the Venice Beach/Marina Del Rey-area.  After stopping by the Killer Café (aka the former Edie’s Diner from Enough and Dexter), which I will be blogging about soon, Mike…

  • The Hyatt Regency Valencia from “Little Miss Sunshine”

    The Hyatt Regency Valencia from “Little Miss Sunshine”

    ‘ A couple of months ago, the Grim Cheaper and I sat down to re-watch fave 2006 dramedy Little Miss Sunshine and I just about fell out of my chair when I spotted the Hyatt Regency Valencia pop up in a brief scene.  I had actually stalked and blogged about the Santa Clarita-area hotel way back…

  • El Cabrillo from “L.A. Story”

    El Cabrillo from “L.A. Story”

    ‘ Last April, in the midst of my slightly-obsessive L.A. Story location-finding mission, fellow stalker Owen, of the When Write Is Wrong blog, tracked down a couple of the movie’s crew members for me, one of whom was extremely helpful.  After he assisted us in the finding the crash intersection from the flick, I inquired…
