    The White House Gates from “Scandal”

    ‘ My life as of late seems to be absorbed by Scandal.  As I mentioned last week, the Grim Cheaper and I have recently become addicted to the ABC series.  Besides watching it during pretty much every free waking moment, I have also been furiously researching the show’s filming locations.  While set in Washington, D.C.,…

    I am in love – and his name is Don Antonio!

    ‘ Like most everyone who watches, I, too, think Spencer and Heidi from are complete douchbags – but I still had to go find the restaurant they seem to visit on every episode – Don Antonio’”‘”‘s.   It was easy enough to find with a simple Google search and, with camera in hand, my boyfriend and I ventured out there one Friday night.   It…

  • The Golden Girls House

    The Golden Girls House

    ‘ This past weekend, thanks to fellow stalker Owen, I was able to stalk the home used in one of my favorite ‘”‘”’80s TV shows – The Golden Girls.   Being that I was only eight years old at the time The Golden Girls premiered, I probably seem like a very unlikely fan of the show.  But, for some reason,…

    A “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” Halloween

    ‘ I usually start planning my and the Grim Cheaper’s Halloween costumes on November 1st each year.  Out with the old, in with the new, as they say.  This year I was a bit late to the game because by the time mid-summer came around, I still found myself with no ideas.  And then, on…

    The Colorado Street Bridge from “The Bachelor”

    ‘ When Juan Pablo Galavis and Chelsie Webster went bungee jumping off of Pasadena’s Colorado Street Bridge in the recently-aired Season 18 episode of The Bachelor titled “Soccer Date,” I found myself wondering, “How did I miss the filming?”  Although it has been over a year now, I still have to remind myself that the…

    Broadlind Hotel from “Over Her Dead Body”

    ‘ Over Her Dead Body is hardly a horror flick.  In fact, the only thing scary about it is the reviews, with one critic going so far as to opine, “A deceased bride, a depressed groom and a caterer who doubles as a psychic.  Yes, it’s an unlikely love triangle, and it’s even more unlikely…

    Farralone – Frank Sinatra’s Former House

    ‘ While doing research on the Chaplin Court apartment complex, which I blogged about last Thursday, I came across some information about an oft-filmed-at Chatsworth-area estate formerly owned by Old Blue Eyes himself, Frank Sinatra, that, for some inexplicable reason, I had somehow not previously known about.  The mansion, which in most circles is known…

  • The “Spanglish” House

    The “Spanglish” House

    ‘ The Michael J. Fox Theatre in Burnaby, British Columbia, which I blogged about yesterday, was actually the very last Vancouver locale that I had logged away in my location library and, while I have a slew of Seattle area spots that I have yet to write about, I thought that for today I’d mix…

    Lila’s Apartment Building on Dexter

    ‘ A few months ago, my fiancé and I started watching the Showtime television series Dexter and I have to say that it didn’t take very long for the two of us to become completely and totally obsessed with it.  So, as I’m sure you can probably imagine, I’ve also become pretty obsessed lately with…
