  • Ray Pruit’s House

    Ray Pruit’s House

    ‘ Thanks to Geoff over at 90210Locations, I was able to stalk Ray Pruit’”‘”‘s house this past weekend while out in Van Nuys. The home was featured in numerous Season 5 episodes of the series as the abode of Donna’”‘”‘s abusive, pumpkin-patch-owning boyfriend, Ray. At that time, the house was painted a light beige color,…

  • Stumbling Upon Sarah Silverman

    Stumbling Upon Sarah Silverman

    ‘ Yesterday, I happened to stop into my favorite bookstore on the planet – Vroman’”‘”‘s Bookstore in Pasadena – and was floored to see a sign on the door saying “Filming in Progress”. I couldn’”‘”‘t believe my luck and I rushed inside to find out what was being filmed. Turns out it was The Sarah…

  • Cole’s Restaurant from “A Lot Like Love”

    Cole’s Restaurant from “A Lot Like Love”

    ‘ This past weekend I dragged my fiancé out to re-stalk Cole’s Restaurant, a location that I originally blogged about way back in May of 2008.  I first learned about the old time watering hole while watching the DVD commentary for fave movie A Lot Like Love, during which one of the film’s directors mentions…

    Mitch’s New York Condo from “The Morning Show”

    ‘ It’s been a minute (literally) since I’ve blogged about a location from The Morning Show, but, don’t worry, I’ve still got a few more up my sleeve – namely the modern building that served as beleaguered television host Mitch Kessler’s (Steve Carell) New York pied-à-terre.  I had a hunch that the property was most…

  • The Home Where Marvin Gaye Was Killed

    The Home Where Marvin Gaye Was Killed

    ‘ Way back in January, while on a stalking adventure with Mike, from MovieShotsLA, he took me by the West Adams-area home where, on April 1st, 1984, singer Marvin Gaye Jr. was shot and killed by his father, Marvin Gay Sr. (and no, gay is not a typo – Marvin Jr. added an e to…

  • Voletta Wallace’s House from “Unsolved: The Murders of Tupac & the Notorious B.I.G.”

    Voletta Wallace’s House from “Unsolved: The Murders of Tupac & the Notorious B.I.G.”

    ‘ I have never been a fan of rap.  My musical tastes tend to run far more tepid (read: Michael Bublé, Michael Jackson, Britney Spears, and ‘80s pop).  The Grim Cheaper likes to joke that my iPod song list hasn’t been updated since I first got the device back in 2001.  Regardless, when I heard…

  • The Magic Castle Hotel from “The Hills”

    The Magic Castle Hotel from “The Hills”

    ‘ If I had a nickel for every time one of my fellow stalkers asked me for a reasonably-priced Hollywood area hotel recommendation . . . well, let’s just say that I’d have a lot more Louis Vuitton in my life than I do right now.  😉  And I never really had a solid answer…

  • Inez’s House from “Chef”

    Inez’s House from “Chef”

    ‘ My favorite movie of 2014 was, hands down, The Other Woman.  Running a close second was Chef, which I am guessing many of you have not heard of.  Sadly, it was a bit of a sleeper.  Take my word for it, though, the flick is fabulous.  As are its locations!  But more on that…

  • Casa Vega from “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood”

    Casa Vega from “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood”

    ‘ One of the things I most appreciate about Once Upon a Time in Hollywood is the lengths director Quentin Tarantino went to portray an authentic 1960s-era Los Angeles onscreen.  To that end, he featured several local historic restaurants from the time that are, thankfully, still around today, including Musso and Frank Grill, El Coyote,…
