  • Farnsworth Park

    Farnsworth Park

    ‘ My favorite movie of all time has got to be Dirty Dancing. I’”‘”‘ve loved the coming-of-age film ever since I was about 13 years old.  Oh, how I wanted to be Baby!  🙂  Growing up, I made my best guy friend practice doing “the lift” with me everytime we were in a swimming pool.  LOL   And, like…

  • Caliente Tropics Resort from “Alpha Dog”

    Caliente Tropics Resort from “Alpha Dog”

    ‘ Another location that I dragged the Grim Cheaper out to stalk while visiting the Palm Springs area two weekends ago was the Caliente Tropics Resort which appeared in the ultra-disturbing 2006 movie Alpha Dog. I found this location thanks to fave stalking book Hollywood Escapes: The Moviegoer’s Guide to Exploring Southern California’s Great Outdoors,…

  • The Derby from “Book Club”

    The Derby from “Book Club”

    ‘ They say that laughter is the best medicine.  For me, it’s laughter coupled with stalking.  While recovering from a minor surgery last October, I hunkered down in bed for a couple of days watching movies.  The flick that brought the most healing was easily Book Club thanks to both its humor and the fact…

  • The Piru Creek Bridge from “Burlesque”

    The Piru Creek Bridge from “Burlesque”

    ‘ Another location that the Grim Cheaper and I visited this past weekend while doing some stalking in the Heritage Valley was the Union Pacific Railroad Piru Creek Bridge which stood in for the supposed Iowa-area bridge that Ali (aka Christina Aguilera) walked across during the opening scene of Burlesque.  I once again found this…

    A Day Off . . . Again!

  • Alex Theatre from “You”

    Alex Theatre from “You”

    ‘ The Grim Cheaper and I spent the days after Christmas in full vacation mode – sleeping in late, staying in our pajamas until all hours, and binging countless movies and TV shows, including the second season of Netflix’s You, which, I have to say, I enjoyed even more than the first.  Well, up until…

  • The Original Pantry Cafe

    The Original Pantry Cafe

    ‘ Well, it is shaping up to be restaurant week at iamnotastalker.com because for the third day in a row now here I am with yet another eatery to blog about – this time Downtown Los Angeles’ historic Original Pantry Café which first opened almost nine decades ago in 1924.  While I had actually known…

  • New York’s Paley Park

    New York’s Paley Park

    ‘ New York has no shortage of “secret” places.  I blogged about one – Grand Central’s Whispering Gallery – on Friday.  Another that the Grim Cheaper and I are fond of is Paley Park, located in NYC’s Midtown East neighborhood.  We happened by the site while wandering along 53rd Street during our very first visit…

  • The Great Quake of ’08!

    The Great Quake of ’08!

    ‘ Yesterday morning at around 11:42am a fairly large earthquake hit the LA area. I received a text message from a friend, who forgot that I am currently on vacation in Hawaii, asking if I felt the quake. My first thought was ” OMG! My Marilyn Merlot bottle!” LOL The bottle of Marilyn wine that…

  • George’s 50’s Diner from “A Cinderella Story”

    George’s 50’s Diner from “A Cinderella Story”

    ‘ Another location at the very top of my Long Beach “To Stalk” list was the restaurant where Hilary Duff worked in fave teeny-bopper movie A Cinderella Story.  In real life, that restaurant is known as George’s 50’s Diner and it is one of the last remaining diners of its kind in all of California. …
