  • Olvera Street

    Olvera Street

    ‘ This weekend I dragged my boyfriend and my parents out to stalk a street that is known as the “birthplace of Los Angeles”.  The historic Olvera Street outdoor marketplace has long been a popular tourist attraction and filming location.  But its history began over 200 years ago when the area was built by early Spanish settlers.  At…

  • Porter’s Stowaway Tavern from “Revenge”

    Porter’s Stowaway Tavern from “Revenge”

    ‘ The Grim Cheaper and I recently became obsessed with Revenge.  We randomly started watching the ABC series on Netflix one night in early September and could NOT stop.  For the next three weeks, the two of us obsessively binge-watched episodes, to the extent that I’m kind of surprised no one staged an intervention.  We…

  • The Southern Hotel from Michael Jackson’s “Beat It” Music Video

    The Southern Hotel from Michael Jackson’s “Beat It” Music Video

    ‘ The Grim Cheaper often accuses me of beating a dead horse.  While I typically don’t agree with him, today’s post is pretty concrete evidence that he’s right, because here I am yet again with yet another article about the diner from Michael Jackson’s 1983 “Beat It” music video.  Today actually marks the fourth time…

  • Vickie’s Diner from “Lucky You”

    Vickie’s Diner from “Lucky You”

    ‘ This year is literally flying by!  It seems like just yesterday that the Grim Cheaper and I headed to Las Vegas, but in actuality our mini work trip/vacay took place over two months ago!  And I still have yet to post all of the stalking sites we visited while there, including today’s locale, which…

  • Maggie Peyton’s House from “Herbie Fully Loaded”

    Maggie Peyton’s House from “Herbie Fully Loaded”

    ‘ After fellow stalker Chas, from the It’sFilmedThere website, so expertly tracked down the Georgia Rule house for me last week, I asked for his assistance in locating the residence where the Peyton family – Ray Peyton Sr. (aka Michael Keaton) and his children Ray Peyton Jr. (aka Breckin Meyer) and Maggie Peyton (aka Lindsay…

  • Demitasse Café from “Bosch”

    Demitasse Café from “Bosch”

    ‘ I hope all of my fellow stalkers had a fun and safe Halloween.  For this year’s festivities, the Grim Cheaper and I headed over to our neighbor’s house for an amazing party (the decorations were like nothing I have ever seen!) and had an absolute blast.  Our 2018 costumes were, per usual, celebrity-inspired.  Unusual…

  • The Next Few Weeks . . .

    The Next Few Weeks . . .

    ‘ I have to apologize for being a bit MIA recently.  My dad is having a pretty major surgery in Los Angeles next week and we have been traveling back and forth to consult with his doctors.  I will be spending the coming weeks in L.A., as well, for his surgery and recovery and while…

  • Jane’s House from “Big Little Lies”

    Jane’s House from “Big Little Lies”

    ‘ I am extremely biased when it comes to my former stomping ground of Pasadena, where I lived for close to 15 years.  Though I’ve heard on more than one occasion from L.A. denizens that the city is too suburban and too far removed from the hustle and bustle of urban life, I think it…

  • Citigroup Center from “Opportunity Knocks”

    Citigroup Center from “Opportunity Knocks”

    ‘ One of my favorite movies from my teen years is Opportunity Knocks.  I first saw the 1990 comedy in the theatre with my uncle and cracked up all the way through.  I have watched it countless times since and its hilarity has not waned in the slightest.  I knew that the flick was lensed…

  • Happy Fourth of July!

    Happy Fourth of July!

    ‘ I will be taking the next couple of days off from blogging in order to celebrate the Fourth of July weekend with the Grim Cheaper and Mike, from MovieShotsLA, who is in town for a  visit.  (Yay!)  I know, I know – I just got back from a two-week vacation!  But such is life.…
