Bob’s Big Boy in Burbank from “Heat”
‘ While doing some stalking in the Burbank area way back in November of last year, I dragged the Grim Cheaper out to the Bob’s Big Boy restaurant on Riverside Drive to grab a bite to eat. And even though the eatery has quite a vast Hollywood history, is a filming location, serves fried food…

Palm Springs City Hall from “Behind the Candelabra”
‘ The Behind the Candelabra location that I was most excited to stalk was Palm Springs City Hall, which appeared very briefly towards the end of the recently-aired HBO biopic. When I first saw the locale pop up onscreen, in all of its retro glory, I was convinced that it was a set that had…

Johnson Lake in Pasadena from “Celebrity Rehab”

Jen’s House from “Dead to Me”
‘ The Grim Cheaper and I admittedly become obsessed with a lot of shows. But it is a rare occasion (at least as of late) to find ourselves consumed by a series filmed entirely in L.A.

Eloise’s Garden from “Love Happens”

I found this location thanks to fellow stalker Owen, who has amassed quite an extensive…
