  • Descanso Beach Club from “NCIS”

    Descanso Beach Club from “NCIS”

    ‘ My family has long had a love affair with Catalina, the idyllic island located about 22 miles southwest of Los Angeles.  One of our favorite spots to grab lunch or an evening cocktail while there is Descanso Beach Club, a toes-in-the-sand restaurant situated along the shore of Descanso Bay.  I have visited the site…

  • O’Hara’s Pub from “Bad Santa”

    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…

  • Liam Court’s House from “90210”

    Liam Court’s House from “90210”

    ‘ This past Thursday afternoon, while out running some errands in the Hancock Park area, I decided to do a little stalking of the residence where Liam Court (aka cutie Matt Lanter – sigh!) lives on fave show 90210.  I found this location thanks to Geoff at the 90210 Locations website who posted the information…

  • Happy Veterans Day!

    Happy Veterans Day!

    ‘ I will be taking today off in honor of Veterans Day, but will be back tomorrow with a whole new post!  A sincere thank you to all of the men and women who have fought for our country over the years, including my dad, grandpa, father-in-law, and brother-in-law. Until next time, Happy Stalking! ‘

  • The Baldwin Home from “For All Mankind”

    The Baldwin Home from “For All Mankind”

    ‘ Apple TV+ is seriously setting the bar high when it comes to original content!  Every program I’ve come across on the streaming platform has been excellent.  I first got hooked on The Morning Show, then Truth Be Told and, most recently, For All Mankind, a 1960s/1970s-set series that focuses on an alternate reality in…

  • Harbor Steps Apartments from “The Ring”

    Harbor Steps Apartments from “The Ring”

    ‘ I am reaching deep into my stalking vault for today’s location.  I visited the Harbor Steps Apartments from The Ring during a trip to Seattle well over four years ago – shortly after being caught in a torrential downpour, which explains my hat in the above photograph – but somehow failed to blog about…

  • Bugsy Siegel’s Former Resort – Club Arrowhead of the Pines

    Bugsy Siegel’s Former Resort – Club Arrowhead of the Pines

    ‘ Another place that I stalked while visiting Lake Arrowhead this past Thanksgiving was the Bracken Fern Manor country inn, which in the 1930’s was part of a private gambling club/resort named Club Arrowhead of the Pines that was run by none other than legendary mobster Bugsy Siegel.  Because the Grim Cheaper is obsessed with…

  • The “Thirteen Days” House

    The “Thirteen Days” House

    ‘ While I mentioned last week that today’s blog would be most likely be about the Cabo San Lucas rocks where Jennifer Aniston posed for her recent Jennifer Aniston Perfume advertisement, I’ve actually decided to postpone that post until a later date and instead write about a location that can be found right here in…

  • Happy Trails Catering from “Big Little Lies”

    Happy Trails Catering from “Big Little Lies”

    ‘ UPDATE – Sadly, Happy Trails Catering is no longer open.  The restaurant closed in 2018 and its beautiful garden currently sits vacant. As you probably noticed, I was unexpectedly MIA for most of last week.  My dad had an experimental five-day procedure done at a hospital in Orange County, so my family and I…

  • The Brass Monkey Bar from “Bad Santa”

    The Brass Monkey Bar from “Bad Santa”

    ‘ Another Christmas-themed location that I stalked recently was the Brass Elephant bar – the Monrovia-area watering hole that stood in for the similarly-named “Brass Monkey” bar where Sue (aka Lauren Graham) worked in my least-favorite holiday movie of all time, 2003’s Bad Santa.  Fellow stalker Chas, from the It’sFilmedThere website, had tracked down the…
