  • The Almost Famous House

    The Almost Famous House

    ‘ Thanks to fellow stalker Chas, way back in the beginning of July, I was able to stalk the main house used in the 2000 award winning movie Almost Famous.   Somehow, though, in all this time, I’”‘”‘ve yet to blog about it.  What can I say – so many places to stalk, so little time to write…

  • Echo Park

    Echo Park

    ‘ One location that I have wanted to stalk ever since June 2012, when I wrote my post about MacArthur Park from New Girl (which you can read here), was the similar-looking Echo Park in L.A.’s Echo Park neighborhood.  Sadly though, my efforts were thwarted for over a year due to an extensive restoration project…

  • Café-Club Fais Do-Do from “Crossroads”

    Café-Club Fais Do-Do from “Crossroads”

    ‘ One location that I blogged about way back in March of 2009 and had been dying to re-stalk ever since – in order to snap some interior pictures – was Café-Club Fais Do-Do, the supposed New-Orleans-area karaoke bar that appeared in the 2002 movie Crossroads.  (For those who did not catch my original post…

  • The House Where Judy Lewis, Loretta Young and Clark Gable’s Daughter, Was Born

    The House Where Judy Lewis, Loretta Young and Clark Gable’s Daughter, Was Born

    ‘ Today’s locale is easily one of the coolest I have visited in my 13-plus years of living in Southern California, which is ironic being that it is comprised of mostly vacant land.  I am talking about the one-time location of the house where Judy Lewis, the secret love child of screen siren Loretta Young…

  • Villa d’Este – The “Under the Yum Yum Tree” Apartment Building

    Villa d’Este – The “Under the Yum Yum Tree” Apartment Building

    ‘ Thank you to all of my fellow stalkers for putting up with my two recent – and much-needed – blogging hiatuses.  It felt so good to relax and recharge and I will now be back with a vengeance.  And now, on with the post!  A couple of months ago, after stalking Romanesque Villa, my…

  • Virginia O’Hanlon’s Former House

    Virginia O’Hanlon’s Former House

    ‘ I still believe in Santa Claus.  Yes, you read that right.  Though I am fast approaching 40, the magic and wonderment of the Christmas season remain very real to me.  My feelings on the subject can best be summed up by Francis Pharcellus Church’s famed 1897 The New York Sun editorial penned in response…

  • Vivian’s Millennium Café

    Vivian’s Millennium Café

    ‘ I have to say that while I have always been a pretty big fan of Leah Remini (hello, Saved by the Bell! Who’s the Boss?! Living Dolls!), I don’t particularly love her reality show, Leah Remini: It’s All Relative.  I was fascinated to learn through watching it, though, that Leah’s husband, mother, and stepfather…

  • The Glen Capri Inn & Suites from “The Good Girl”

    The Glen Capri Inn & Suites from “The Good Girl”

    ‘ A few weeks ago, I dragged the Grim Cheaper out to stalk the Glen Capri Inn & Suites – a historic and oft-filmed Glendale-area motel that has appeared in over twenty movie and television productions in the past six years alone.  I was most interested in stalking the property due to its appearance in…

  • My Guide to Palm Springs – Restaurants

    My Guide to Palm Springs – Restaurants

    ‘ As I’ve mentioned many times on this blog, I am in no way a foodie, preferring chicken strips and ranch dressing to foie gras and jus.  My Guide to Palm Springs – Restaurants will reflect that.  Here you’ll find the best of the best comfort food, down home cooking, delis, and cafés, with a…

  • The Filming Locations of “Big Little Lies” Season 2 – “I Want to Know”

    The Filming Locations of “Big Little Lies” Season 2 – “I Want to Know”

    ‘ Season 2 of Big Little Lies comes to an end with “I Want to Know,” as does my episode-by-episode coverage of its locations.  Hope you enjoyed reading through the posts as much as I enjoyed putting them together.  So, without further ado . . . (Note – as was the case with my posts…
