    Hilton Garden Inn Arcadia from “Veep”

    ‘ It has been said that everyone has their own special superpower.  I don’t know if that is true or not, but if so, mine is definitely my brain’s ability to take note of small, seemingly insignificant and rather trivial details, and commit them to memory, completely of its own volition.  Case in point –…

  • The Self-Realization Fellowship Lake Shrine Temple

    The Self-Realization Fellowship Lake Shrine Temple

    ‘ Another location that I stalked while my good friend Nat was in town a few weeks ago was the Self-Realization Fellowship Lake Shrine Temple – a ten-acre public oasis located on Sunset Boulevard in Pacific Palisades that was established by spiritual leader/Kriya Yoga guru Paramahansa Yogananda in 1950.  Because Nat is a dedicated yogi,…

    Melrose (aka Greenwood) Place

    ‘ The apartment building used as the exterior of the fictional apartment complex “Melrose Place” on the TV show of the same name cannot actually be found on, or anywhere near, the real Melrose Avenue. In real life, the complex is called the “El Pueblo Apartments” and is located on Greenwood Place in Los Feliz,…

    The Bates Motel

    ‘ Today’s location would be better suited for a Haunted Hollywood post, but because it is set to be torn down by the end of the year, I figured time was of the essence.  While spending the week in L.A. last month with my good buddies Kim and Katie (that’s Katie pictured above), a friend…

  • Haskell’s Ice Cream Hut from “The Brady Bunch”

    Haskell’s Ice Cream Hut from “The Brady Bunch”

    ‘ I have been a The Brady Bunch fanatic since I was about three years old.  Growing up, I wanted nothing more than to be Cindy Brady (Susan Olsen) and don blonde pig tails on a daily basis.  Too bad my hair was brown, curly and far too short for pig tails.  As an adult,…

  • Donna Martin, Rose Princess

    Donna Martin, Rose Princess

    ‘ When I first moved to Los Angeles about eight years ago, one of the very first items on my stalking agenda was to visit the Pasadena Tournament of Roses Headquarters. I wanted to sign up for their annual Rose Court Pageant just like Donna Martin did in the Season 6 episode of 90210 entitled…

    The “She’s Out of Control” House

    ‘ Last week I enlisted fellow stalker Chas, from the It’sFilmedThere website, to help me find locations from the 1989 teen comedy She’s Out of Control.
