  • Live Oak Canyon Pumpkin Patch

    Live Oak Canyon Pumpkin Patch

    ‘ I thought I would break away from tradition today by blogging about a place that has no celebrity or film connection – Live Oak Canyon Pumpkin Patch, which is without a doubt the BEST pumpkin patch I have ever been to in my life!  I may be breaking from the norm more often in…

  • Cooking by JLo!

    Cooking by JLo!

    ‘ Two weeks ago, while in Pasadena, my boyfriend I happened to walk by Madre’”‘”‘s, the restaurant owned by Miss Jennifer Lopez. Madre’”‘”‘s, which opened up in 2002, serves up Latin food inspired by JLo’”‘”‘s grandmother’”‘”‘s recipes – food she ate when she was still just Jenny from the Block. When you step inside Madre’”‘”‘s,…

  • Halloween Countdown!

    Halloween Countdown!

    ‘ I had a bit of car trouble yesterday and, in dealing with that, did not have time to write a new post.  But I will be back on Monday . . . with the start of my Haunted Hollywood locales!  Yay!  I hope all of my fellow stalkers have a fabulous weekend and that…

  • Burlesque Lounge from “Burlesque”

    Burlesque Lounge from “Burlesque”

    ‘ A couple of months ago, I dragged the Grim Cheaper out to see Burlesque and, because of all of the bad reviews the movie was generating, I did not have very high hopes that either of us would enjoy it much.  As it turns out, though, I could NOT have been more wrong!  It…

  • Grand Central Air Terminal from “Pee-wee’s Big Adventure”

    Grand Central Air Terminal from “Pee-wee’s Big Adventure”

    ‘ While doing research for yesterday’s post (which you can read here), I came across a page on IMDB that stated that the bus station scene from Pee-wee’s Big Adventure was filmed at the Glendale Amtrak Station.  I knew from previous cyber-stalking, though, that the Pee-wee bus station scene was actually filmed a few miles…

    The Georgian Ballroom from “Girls Just Want to Have Fun”

    ‘ Had you asked me last week, I would have told you that I was an expert on both Pasadena and its filming history.  But something happened on Wednesday afternoon that rocked me to my stalking core.  While writing a blog post for Los Angeles magazine, I got on a bit of a Girls Just…

    The “Mr. Deeds” House

    ‘ One location that Mike, from MovieShotsLA, has being dying to stalk for ages now is Winona Ryder’”‘”‘s red-doored childhood home from the 2002 Adam Sandler comedy Mr. Deeds.  Mike had asked for my help in tracking down this location a couple of months ago, but, for some reason, even our two heads working together couldn’”‘”‘t seem to find…

  • Amanda Peet’s Apartment Building from “A Lot Like Love”

    Amanda Peet’s Apartment Building from “A Lot Like Love”

    ‘ One of my favorite romantic comedies of all time is A Lot Like Love starring Amanda Peet and Ashton Kutcher – and while I was watching it I absolutely fell in love with the building used as Amanda Peet’”‘”‘s apartment. But as hard as I tried, I couldn’”‘”‘t seem to find this location by…

  • Lucky Baldwin’s British Pub and Cafe from “The Big Bang Theory”

    Lucky Baldwin’s British Pub and Cafe from “The Big Bang Theory”

    ‘ In the recently-aired Season 4 episode of fave show The Big Bang Theory titled “The Irish Pub Formulation”, Sheldon Cooper (aka Jim Parsons) refers to an Old Town Pasadena-area restaurant named Lucky Baldwin’s Pub.  Ironically enough, just a few days prior to watching that episode, fellow stalker John from Northern California had mentioned that…

  • Hilton Checkers Hotel from “The West Wing”

    Hilton Checkers Hotel from “The West Wing”

    ‘ One of the best parts about finally watching The West Wing for the first time is all of the L.A. locales I’ve been able to identify and stalk (you can read about a few of them here, here, and here).  One spot that I recognized on sight was Hilton Checkers Los Angeles, which masked…
