The “Why Him?” Gate House
‘ Location managers can be such tricksters! And there’s pretty much nothing I love more than uncovering the various fabrications that go into a particular locale. Such was the case with the gate house supposedly situated at the entrance to the massive manse belonging to millionaire video game creator Laird Mayhew (James Franco) in Why…

Famous Original Ray’s Pizza from “Sex and the City”
‘ The Grim Cheaper and I used to visit New York at least once a year. Prior to this recent trip, though, we had not been to Manhattan since October 2009! Being separated from my favorite city for almost seven years was quite a hard pill to swallow. During that time, I accumulated a ridiculously…

The McCullough Residence from “Little Fires Everywhere”
‘ I knew I would love Little Fires Everywhere long before it premiered. One look at the trailer had me drooling!

Mike had found the location of the Hotel St. James thanks…

The Red Robin Restaurant from “Newlyweds”
‘ While Mike, from MovieShotsLA, and I were out doing some Valley stalking a couple of months ago, we decided to made a pit stop at the Red Robin restaurant in Calabasas for lunch. Even though I am not now nor never have been a big Jessica Simpson fan, I had been dying to stalk the…

The Old Orange County Courthouse from “American Horror Story: Asylum”
‘ It is a sad truth that many filming locations are not publicly accessible. (I’m looking at you Fremont Place, Golden Oak Ranch, the Jack Rabbit Slim’”‘”‘s exterior from Pulp Fiction, pretty much all of the houses from Scream, and Venice High School! Yes, I have toured the latter several times, but I have never…

Big Mistake! Big! Huge!
‘ Those of you planning to stalk the “Night Before the Night Before” party taking place at the Regent Beverly Wilshire Hotel tomorrow night, might also want to check out another famous location just down the street.
