    McGee’s Pub – The Inspiration for MacLaren’s on “How I Met Your Mother”

    ‘ I have never been a film location purist.  I am just as happy visiting spots that have appeared onscreen as I am touring those that have provided inspiration for sets – as evidenced here, here and here.  So while in New York in April 2016 I just had to pop by McGee’s Pub, aka…

    Marilyn Monroe’s Catalina House

    The Administration Building, Treasure Island from “The Parent Trap”

    ‘ The stalking itinerary for my October 2016 trip to Northern California was extremely Scream-centric.  So much so that I did not really do any research on area locales from other productions.  But life threw a pleasant surprise my way shortly after I arrived in the City by the Bay.  Upon landing at SFO, my…

    St. Vincent Court from “The Mentalist”

    ‘ I cannot wait for the Secret L.A.-themed February issue of Los Angeles magazine to hit newsstands!  The City of Angels is chock full of tucked-away gems and I absolutely love discovering them.  The Grim Cheaper and I just stalked one, in fact, that is also a filming location – St. Vincent Court, which appeared…

    ‘ While I realize that I still have quite a few posts to publish from my recent stalking trip to the Palmdale/Lancaster area (including the Four Aces and Club Ed movie sets), as well as a few filming-related posts to write from my nuptials last August (most notably the venue), I decided to dedicate today’s…
