Marilyn Merlot
‘ I am still very much in the throws of my Marilyn Monroe obsession, and it is definitely true what they say – the more you think about something, the more you attract that thing to you. My father happened to be going through his wine collection last week and discovered a bottle of “Marilyn…

Stalking In Pink
‘ Got a challenge the other day from Niki all the way over in Greece to stalk some of the locations from her favorite 80s flick Pretty In Pink. I have to admit that before I got the challenge I had never actually seen the movie, so this week I made a special trip to…

O’Hara’s Pub from “Bad Santa”
‘ I realize that Christmas has passed, but I have one more holiday locale to write about before bidding adieu to the Yuletide season. Two Fridays ago, after reading my post on Footsies bar from Bad Santa, fellow stalker Owen, of the When Write Is Wrong blog, miraculously managed to track down the exterior of…

Mawby’s Bar from “Flashdance”
‘ While I am definitely a child of the ‘80s, there are some classic films from that era that I have never been a fan of. Pretty in Pink, Fast Times at Ridgemont High and Flashdance come to mind. Being that there’s pretty much nothing I love more than movies with musical and dance montages,…

The Jerry Maguire House

From a quick internet search, Mike was able to ascertain that Dorothy’”‘”‘s tiny yellow house was located in an area of Manhattan Beach known as the “Tree Section”. The home’”‘”‘s exact location, though, was…

Frankie’s House from “Alpha Dog”
‘ One location that I have been on the lookout for for what seems like forever now is the home belonging to Frankie Ballenbacher’s (aka Justin Timberlake’s) father, Juergen Ballenbacher (aka Chris Kinkade), in the ultra-dark and depressing movie Alpha Dog. As I have expressed a few times before on this blog, I was not…

Pickwick Bowl from “Parks and Recreation”
‘ While watching the Season 4 episode of Parks and Recreation titled “Bowling for Votes” back in June, I wondered aloud about at which bowling alley filming had taken place. The Grim Cheaper, who happened to hear me, looked up from his ever-present laptop and said, “That’s Pickwick Bowl – part of Pickwick Gardens –…

A Visit with My Grandma
‘ My grandma is currently in town for a visit, so I will probably not be able to post a new column until later in the week as I will be spending time with her. I hope all of my fellow stalkers have a great few days! ‘
