    Catalina’s Pavilion Lodge

    ‘ This morning my family and I traveled to Catalina Island for a little summer vacay.  We’”‘”‘ve been planning this trip for quite some time now and, let me tell you, I could not have been more excited to finally arrive!  Ever since my grandmother gave me Robert Wagner‘”‘”‘s autobiography, Pieces of My Heart: A Life,  for Christmas last year, I…

  • The Fairmont Miramar Santa Monica

    The Fairmont Miramar Santa Monica

    ‘ I don’”‘”‘t know about you all, but for the past few Sunday nights I have been absolutely glued to my television set watching Season 2 of the Ryan Seacrest produced Denise Richards: It’”‘”‘s Complicated.   And while I admit that the girl is an absolute train wreck and that her laugh is like fingernails on a chalkboard,…

  • The Barthman Sidewalk Clock

    The Barthman Sidewalk Clock

    ‘ It has been said that you shouldn’t look down when you walk.  There are two places in Manhattan where you ought to keep your eyes on the pavement, though.  I blogged about one, Hess Triangle in front of Village Cigars, on Wednesday.  The other, a clock imbedded in concrete outside of what was once…

  • Holden’s House from “The Good Girl”

    Holden’s House from “The Good Girl”

    ‘ Another Simi Valley location that Mike, from MovieShotsLA, suggested I stalk this past Saturday after my and the Grim Cheaper’s American Jewish University Brandeis-Barden Campus snafu (which you can read about here) was the supposed Texas-area home where Holden Worther (Jake Gyllenhaal) lived in my favorite movie of all-time, The Good Girl.  Ha, just…

  • “The Awakening” Sculpture

    “The Awakening” Sculpture

    ‘ I am not typically a big art person.  This is mainly due to the fact that I love to be outside, especially when on vacation, so I don’t find myself frequenting museums often.  While researching Washington, D.C.-area attractions prior to my trip to the East Coast last September, though, I came across some information…

  • Twin Palms – Frank Sinatra’s Former Palm Springs Estate

    Twin Palms – Frank Sinatra’s Former Palm Springs Estate

    ‘ Another Palm-Springs-area location that the Grim Cheaper and I stalked two weekends ago while vacationing in the Coachella Valley was Twin Palms, the former desert home of legendary crooner Frank Sinatra and his then-wife Nancy Barbato.  And while I have actually stalked – and even blogged about – this location once before (way back…

  • The Gas Station from the “Palm Springs Weekend” Episode of “Beverly Hills, 90210”

    The Gas Station from the “Palm Springs Weekend” Episode of “Beverly Hills, 90210”

    ‘ One location that I have wanted to stalk for what seems like forever now is the gas station where Brenda Walsh (aka Shannen Doherty), Kelly Taylor (aka Jennie Garth), Donna Martin (aka Tori Spelling), Steve Sanders (aka Ian Ziering) and David Silver (aka Brian Austin Green) fueled up their cars in the Season 1…

  • The Georgian Hotel from “BH90210”

    The Georgian Hotel from “BH90210”

    ‘ While I was initially on the fence as to my feelings regarding BH90210, I have to say the meta-revival has really grown on me.  Though I did not particularly love the pilot, by episode 4, I was absolutely enthralled and am so saddened that Season 1 will be coming to a close this week. …

  • Jay and Gloria’s House from “Modern Family”

    Jay and Gloria’s House from “Modern Family”

    ‘ Once fellow stalker Robert, from the website Movie Locations and More, tracked down Phil and Claire’s house and Mitchell and Cameron’s duplex from the new hit series Modern Family, I set my sights on locating the modern-style abode where Jay (aka Ed O’Neill), Gloria (aka Sophia Vergara), and their son Manny (aka Rico Rodriguez)…

  • Hamburger Hamlet from “Parks and Recreation”

    Hamburger Hamlet from “Parks and Recreation”

    ‘ Halfway through writing this post, I realized I probably should have saved it until February.  At that point, though, it was too late to start over, so I figured c’est la vie.  Here goes.  A few years ago, when I first saw the “Galentine’s Day” episode of Parks and Recreation, I recognized the restaurant…
