  • The Garland Hotel from “Parks and Recreation”

    The Garland Hotel from “Parks and Recreation”

    ‘ A couple of years ago, I drove by a hotel that looked like a little slice of retro heaven and became transfixed.  I made a mental note of its name and vowed to research it further.  As soon as I got home, though, I realized the name had escaped me and, because I have…

  • Charmed Challenge!

    Charmed Challenge!

    ‘ Got a from Jenna a few weeks back to find a whole bunch of locations, one of which being the “San Francisco” city street featured in both the Season 7 episode “The Bare Witch Project” and the Season 8 episode “Still Charmed and Kicking”. In “The Bare With Project” (pictured above), the street is…

  • Valli Tropics from “Wicked City”

    Valli Tropics from “Wicked City”

    ‘ Locations, locations, locations!  Aside from Ed Westwick, locations were easily the best aspect of the now cancelled ABC series Wicked City.  The show took place in Los Angeles circa 1982 and the location manager did a fabulous job of securing spots evocative of that era.  None was more spectacularly retro than the apartment building…

  • Sarah Silverman’s Apartment Building from “The Sarah Silverman Program”

    Sarah Silverman’s Apartment Building from “The Sarah Silverman Program”

    ‘ A few months back, I got an email from a fellow stalker named Kate who wanted to know if I could track down the apartment building where Sarah Silverman lives on The Sarah Silverman Program.  Kate had heard on one of the show’s DVD commentaries that the building was located somewhere in Hollywood in…

  • 24/7 Restaurant

    24/7 Restaurant

    ‘ All stalkers have those locations – the ones that, despite years of searching, remain on our unfound list.  Miraculously (and thanks to an insane amount of good fortune), I managed to track down one of mine recently, after over a decade of hunting for it! During the early 2000s, I had major girl crushes…

  • Scout Bar from “Sex and the City”

    Scout Bar from “Sex and the City”

    ‘ Yet another Sex and the City location that I stalked while in New York last month was O’Nieals Grand Street Bar, which stood in for Scout, the watering hole owned by Carrie and Miranda’s ex-boyfriends, Aidan and Steve, on the show.  And even though I had actually stalked this location during last year’s New…

  • Lindsay, The Celebrity Hunter

    Lindsay, The Celebrity Hunter

    ‘ Yesterday, our first full day in Kona, I did a little Dog, the Bounty Hunter stalking. My mom gets a bit obsessed with celebs, just like me – at least I know where I get it from 🙂 – and one of her biggest obsessions right now is Mr. Duane Chapman, aka Dog, the…

  • Guasti Villa from "Veep"

    Guasti Villa from "Veep"

    ‘ It’s no secret how much I hate incorrect filming location information.  But sometimes errant info can lead to good things.  Case in point – back in 2012, an article was published about the Los Angeles locales featured in The Artist.  One of the sites detailed was Guasti Villa, aka Busby Berkeley’s former Jefferson Park…

  • Kirsten Dunst’s Bring It On House

    Kirsten Dunst’s Bring It On House

    ‘ Well, as Vanessa Williams once sang, I definitely “saved the best for last” regarding my Bring It On posts this week.  As you might have already guessed, the BIO filming location I was most excited about stalking was, of course, the ultra-cool, modern-style abode belonging to Kirsten Dunst’s character, Torrance Shipman, in the movie.  Fellow…

  • The Cooper House from “Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day”

    The Cooper House from “Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day”

    ‘ Sometimes I become obsessed with a location because I love the movie that it was featured in.  Other times I just like the look of a particular place and am desperate to see it in person.  And other times still I read something about a filming site that completely transfixes me despite the fact…
