  • Watermark On Main

    Watermark On Main

    ‘ This past weekend, while in Ventura, my parents, my fiance, and I ate dinner at a newly opened restaurant named Watermark On Main.  And, even though my eyes are ALWAYS peeled, I wasn’”‘”‘t exactly expecting to see a celeb during our meal.  But, sure enough, we did!  As it turns out, Watermark is something of…

  • Another Desert Weekend

    Another Desert Weekend

    ‘ The Grim Cheaper and I took off for the desert again this past weekend, so I, unfortunately, was not able to write a new post for today.  But I do promise to be back tomorrow with a whole new location. Until next time, Happy Stalking! ‘

  • The “L.A. Story” Fundraiser House

    The “L.A. Story” Fundraiser House

    ‘ Another L.A. Story location that I was desperate to track down was the sloped-roof residence where Harris K. Telemacher (Steve Martin) and Sara McDowel (Victoria Tennant) attended a “private art museum” fundraiser in the 1991 comedy.  Because the home was so architecturally unique, I was sure that it would be an easy find.  I…

  • Stalking San Diego

    Stalking San Diego

    ‘ Spent this past weekend in Coronado, a small island off the coast of San Diego, with my family to celebrate Father’”‘”‘s Day. My best friend, who lives nearby, came over to spend the day with me by the hotel pool and when she got there she mentioned that she was a “bit afraid” to…

    The Los Angeles Filming Locations of “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off”

    ‘ Be sure to check out my latest Discover Los Angeles article about the L.A. locations featured in Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.  I am especially excited about this post as – thanks to a lot of help from Michael Amundson, who worked on the movie, and my friend Owen, from the When Write Is Wrong…

  • Wonderland from “Scandal”

    Wonderland from “Scandal”

    ‘ I realize this is a complete about-face, but I am so over Scandal!  I know, I know – my love for the series was incredibly short-lived.  The Grim Cheaper and I just finished watching Season 4, though, and both felt that it went downhill fast.  The last few episodes proved so ridiculous that I…

  • The YWCA Hollywood Studio Club from “Dexter”

    The YWCA Hollywood Studio Club from “Dexter”

    ‘ Aside from Sex and the City’s, I don’t think there’s ever been a television finale that I loved. Dexter’s, in my opinion, was the absolute worst.  But I was thoroughly mesmerized by the location chosen to portray Rendall Psychiatric Hospital, the ultra creepy abandoned lair of the Brain Surgeon Killer, Oliver Saxon (Darri Ingolfsson),…

  • The Mentalist’s CBI Headquarters

    The Mentalist’s CBI Headquarters

    ‘ My location obsession as of late has been the CBI Headquarters building where Patrick Jane and the gang report to work each week on my new fave show The Mentalist. I do love me some Simon Baker!  He’”‘”‘s such a cutie!  🙂   Being that it is quite unique in appearance, I had an inkling that Mike, from MovieShotsLA, might recognize…

  • Brockton Point Lighthouse from “The Crush”

    Brockton Point Lighthouse from “The Crush”

    ‘ The third and final filming location that I stalked from the 1993 thriller The Crush while I was visiting Vancouver two weeks ago was the Brockton Point Lighthouse – the spot where 14-year old Adrian Forrester (aka Alicia Silverstone) tried to seduce Nick Eliot (aka Cary Elwes), the much older man who was leasing…

  • The “Little Miss Sunshine” Restaurant

    The “Little Miss Sunshine” Restaurant

    ‘ As I mentioned in yesterday’s post, while doing research on the former Abiquiu eatery (now Wokcano) from Get Shorty (which I blogged about here), I came across a Chowhound message board on which a commenter named Kevin stated that Pann’s restaurant in Ladera Heights was the spot where the Hoover clan –  Olive (Abigail…
