    George Nader’s Former Home

    ‘ Earlier this year, while doing research on the various Coachella Valley-area houses formerly owned by pianist Liberace, I came across a blurb in fave book Palm Springs Confidential about the city’s first ever triple homicide, which took place in a Las Palmas Estates residence that once belonged to actor George Nader.  After wiping the…

  • The “Jack and Jill” House

    The “Jack and Jill” House

    ‘ This past Sunday afternoon, while doing some stalking in the Pacific Palisades area, I dragged the Grim Cheaper over to Amalfi Drive to stalk the main house used in the 2011 movie Jack and Jill.  And I should mention here that while I did not have very high hopes for Jack and Jill before…

  • The “L.A. Confidential” Christmas Eve Pot Bust House

    The “L.A. Confidential” Christmas Eve Pot Bust House

    ‘ Some might not consider the subject of today’s post a Christmas location.  It’s certainly not from a holiday flick, that’s for sure.  But the scene that was shot there took place on Christmas Eve, so I figured it was fair game.  For those who do not recognize the pad pictured above, it was at…

  • Lucille’s House from “Bye Bye Love”

    Lucille’s House from “Bye Bye Love”

    ‘ Another location that fellow stalker Chas, from the It’sFilmedThere website, had on his extensively detailed list of places to stalk during our day together in L.A. this past July (and there were over 30 locales on that list, by the way; as I said it was quite extensive!) was the residence where Lucille (aka…

  • My Experience at Halloween Horror Nights (Hint – It Was Fabulous!)

    My Experience at Halloween Horror Nights (Hint – It Was Fabulous!)

    ‘ Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios Hollywood is something I have wanted to do forever.  Considering my obsession with Halloween, all things spooky and movie studios, it’s kind of a shock that I had never been.  The rather steep ticket prices – as well as the fact that everyone told me I shouldn’t bother…

  • My Guide to Palm Springs – Hotels

    My Guide to Palm Springs – Hotels

    ‘ Today’s post is loooooong overdue.  For ages now, I’ve been talking about putting together a guide to Palm Springs.  Having lived in the desert for over six years, regularly playing a tourist in my own town, has given me quite an insider’s knowledge of the area.  Who better to share that knowledge with than…

  • My Guide to Palm Springs – Coffee

    My Guide to Palm Springs – Coffee

    ‘ My love of coffee knows no bounds!  So I have, of course, visited pretty much every café the Coachella Valley has to offer.  Of that group, there are a few standouts.  Read on for my list of the very best spots to grab a cup of joe in the desert.  As was the case…

  • Madeline Garden Bistro & Venue from “Mad Men”

    Madeline Garden Bistro & Venue from “Mad Men”

    ‘ I have had many different stalking notebooks over the years.  My latest is a gorgeous white Moleskin that I picked up during my Switzerland vacation back in June 2013.  One locale that has been listed in it since I started using it almost four years ago (it’s one of the very first entries), but…

  • The Campbell House from “Soap”

    The Campbell House from “Soap”

    ‘ Something must be in the water, because this has been the most fortuitous week I’ve ever had when it comes to stalking.  Over the course of the past few days, not only have three of my most-wanted locations been found, but I was even granted access to the interior of one and, remarkably, it…

  • Stalking In Pink

    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…
