  • The Last Bookstore from “Gone Girl”

    The Last Bookstore from “Gone Girl”

    ‘ I love bookstores – and books.  Actual books, not the digitized versions.  You will never catch me reading on a Kindle.  I like the feel of a book in my hands, the physical act of turning the pages and the smell.  I love, love, love the smell of books.  The Grim Cheaper always makes…

  • A Mini-Vacay

    A Mini-Vacay

    ‘ I will be spending the next week in L.A. with my good friends Lavonna and Kim who are flying out from Cincinnati for a visit.  We have a ton of fun adventures planned, which won’t leave much time for blogging, but I will be back the week of November 17th with a whole slew…

  • The “Mask” House

    The “Mask” House

    ‘ While I realize that I still have quite a few posts to publish from my recent stalking trip to the Palmdale/Lancaster area (including the Four Aces and Club Ed movie sets), as well as a few filming-related posts to write from my nuptials last August (most notably the venue), I decided to dedicate today’s…

  • Kansas City Barbeque Is Back In Business – Just In Time For Halloween!

    Kansas City Barbeque Is Back In Business – Just In Time For Halloween!

    ‘ This weekend, I took a little vacay down to San Diego with my family. Of course, while there I had to do some stalking of the Top Gun Bar, aka Kansas City Barbeque, which sadly has been closed since June 26th of this year due to a major fire. I was very curious to…

  • The Ambassador Hotel

    The Ambassador Hotel

    ‘ Katharine Hepburn once said, “I have many regrets and I’”‘”‘m sure everyone does. The stupid things you do, you regret . . . if you have any sense.” Katharine was right. One of my biggest regrets in life is that I never got to see the Ambassador Hotel in person before it was torn…

  • The Peach Pit

    The Peach Pit

    ‘ Got a comment Tuesday night from Kevin who asked if I had a picture of the Peach Pit location from 90210. I briefly blogged about the Peach Pit on my first 90210 post a few months ago, but at the time I didn’”‘”‘t have a picture of the filming site. In reality, there were…

  • Bookstar from “Beverly Hills, 90210”

    Bookstar from “Beverly Hills, 90210”

    ‘ I have certainly been revisiting the past lately, as evidenced here, here, and here.  Maybe it has something to do with nostalgia hitting me after our recent move.  Whatever the reason, here I am yet again with yet another redux.  Today’s locale is a favorite, one that I originally covered in May 2008 –…

  • Bette Davis’ House from “Feud”

    Bette Davis’ House from “Feud”

    ‘ My favorite Big Little Lies quote belongs to Madeline Martha Mackenzie (Reese Witherspoon), who, in response to Celeste Wright (Nicole Kidman) advising her to let something go, quips, “I love my grudges.  I tend to them like little pets.”  A woman after my own heart, I swear!  Oh yes, I am a definite grudge-holder. …

  • Big and Carrie’s Apartment from “Sex and the City 2”

    Big and Carrie’s Apartment from “Sex and the City 2”

    ‘ Apparently I did a lot of stalking during my April 2016 New York vacation because there are some places I do not even remember visiting.  Case in point – while organizing my photos from the trip a couple of days ago, I came across several images of the stately building above which I had…

  • The IHOP Restaurant from “Glee”

    The IHOP Restaurant from “Glee”

    ‘ As I have mentioned a few times in the past, I am a diabetic.   And in order to combat my currently out-of-whack blood sugars, I recently picked up Dr. Bernstein’s Diabetes Solution, a best-selling book which proposes a VERY low carbohydrate diet to maintain blood sugar control.  Which is a problem, because this stalker…
