  • Day Off!

    Day Off!

    ‘ Because I spent all day yesterday out and about stalking with Mike, from MovieShotsLA, I did not have time to write a new post for today.  But I do promise to be back tomorrow with a whole new location.  In the meantime, I hope all of my fellow stalkers have a fabulous weekend! Until…

  • Dolly Green’s House from “Eye for an Eye”

    Dolly Green’s House from “Eye for an Eye”

    ‘ Taking a break today from my many Gossip Girl posts, I thought I would write about a residence that I stalked with fellow stalker Chas, from the It’sFilmedThere website, way back in mid-July.  While he was in town for a little Southern California stalking vacay, the two of us, along with his super-sweet mother,…

  • Grand Hope Park from “All About Steve”

    Grand Hope Park from “All About Steve”

    ‘ The Hills are alive and well once again thanks to the recent MTV reboot The Hills: New Beginnings which debuted late last month.  I actually did not have high hopes for the show, despite loving the original, but I have to say that the Grim Cheaper and I are really enjoying it.  More mature…

  • Vibiana

    Vibiana

    ‘ A couple of weeks ago, while spending the weekend at the Hilton Checkers Hotel, I stumbled upon a filming location I had been meaning to stalk for quite some time – a former cathedral named Vibiana located in Downtown Los Angeles.   While walking back to the hotel after grabbing a Starbucks :), I saw what looked like a wedding being set up…

  • The Sharper Image from “When Harry Met Sally”

    The Sharper Image from “When Harry Met Sally”

    ‘ Movies don’t typically surprise me, as far as locations go.  But When Harry Met Sally has me absolutely shocked as of late!  Ever since first seeing the romcom when it debuted back in 1989, I had been under the impression that it was lensed entirely in New York.  The city is so woven into…

  • Dean’s House from “License to Drive”

    Dean’s House from “License to Drive”

    ‘ For no particular reason and seemingly out of the blue, I got on a License to Drive kick a couple of weeks ago and was absolutely floored to come across a page on fellow stalker Geoff’s 90210Locations website that detailed almost all of the locales featured in the movie.  The only spot missing was…

  • The “Some Kind of Wonderful” Party House

    The “Some Kind of Wonderful” Party House

    ‘ While I was stalking Steff’s mansion from Pretty in Pink, which I blogged about last Thursday, fellow stalker Mike, from MovieShotsLA, texted me to let me know that the party house from another classic John Hughes-penned ‘80s movie, 1987’s Some Kind of Wonderful, was located literally just around the corner on Hudson Avenue.  So…

  • Twin Palms – Frank Sinatra’s Former Palm Springs Estate

    Twin Palms – Frank Sinatra’s Former Palm Springs Estate

    ‘ Another Palm-Springs-area location that the Grim Cheaper and I stalked two weekends ago while vacationing in the Coachella Valley was Twin Palms, the former desert home of legendary crooner Frank Sinatra and his then-wife Nancy Barbato.  And while I have actually stalked – and even blogged about – this location once before (way back…

  • The DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Torrance – South Bay from “The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story”

    The DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Torrance – South Bay from “The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story”

    ‘ I do not think O.J. Simpson is guilty.  I know how incendiary that statement is and, up until a couple of years ago, had I heard it come out of someone else’s mouth I would have found the sentiment absurd.  But in November 2012 I read O.J. Is Innocent and I Can Prove It,…

  • The Los Angeles Theatre Alley from “Coyote Ugly”

    The Los Angeles Theatre Alley from “Coyote Ugly”

    ‘ You won’t typically find me frequenting back alleys in downtown Los Angeles.  But there is one that I just can’t get enough of.  My good friend Mike, from MovieShotsLA, pointed it out to me many years ago during a daylong DTLA stalking venture.  While driving through the Theatre District, he pulled over near what…
