    They’re Here!

    ‘ A few weeks ago I sent Mike from MovieShotsLA out to do a little Haunted Hollywood stalking for me. I had read online that the house from the original Poltergeist movie (another horror flick I have yet to see!) is located in Simi Valley, and since Mike was in the area, I asked him…

  • My Guide to Palm Springs – Hotels

    My Guide to Palm Springs – Hotels

    ‘ Today’s post is loooooong overdue.  For ages now, I’ve been talking about putting together a guide to Palm Springs.  Having lived in the desert for over six years, regularly playing a tourist in my own town, has given me quite an insider’s knowledge of the area.  Who better to share that knowledge with than…

  • Abbey San Encino from “Dexter”

    Abbey San Encino from “Dexter”

    ‘ As I have mentioned several times before on this blog, I absolutely cannot watch an episode of fave show Dexter without having my iPad next to me and a web-browser open to the Seeing Stars website’s extensive Dexter filming locations page.  And this season has been no different.  While watching the episode titled “Once…

  • The “It’s Complicated” House

    The “It’s Complicated” House

    ‘ This past weekend, I dragged my new husband out to Westlake Village to see a home that I’ve been absolutely dying to stalk ever since I tracked down its location a little over two months ago – the adobe-style ranch where Jane Adler (aka Meryl Streep) lived in the 2009 Nancy Meyers-directed romantic comedy…

  • Jim and Pam’s Wedding Church from “The Office”

    Jim and Pam’s Wedding Church from “The Office”

    ‘ Another wedding-themed location that I stalked recently was the San Fernando Valley-area church where Jim Halpert (aka John Krasinski) married Pam Beesly (aka Jenna Fischer) in the Season Six episode of my new favorite show The Office titled “Niagara”.  I found out about this location quite a while ago, thanks to both fellow stalker…

  • The “Yes, Dear” House

    The “Yes, Dear” House

    ‘ One show that I never really understood the appeal of is Yes, Dear.  My dad loved the sitcom, which ran from 2000 to 2006, and watched it regularly, but I always found the characters slightly unlikable and the storylines a bit ridiculous.  Nevertheless, when I received an email from a fellow stalker named Jeremy…

  • The Dresden Restaurant

    The Dresden Restaurant

    ‘ A couple of months ago I was flipping through one of my favorite stalking tomes, Hollywood Escapes: The Moviegoer’s Guide to Exploring Southern California’s Great Outdoors, when I came across a blurb written about the legendary Dresden Restaurant in Hollywood.  And while I had actually eaten at the Dresden once before upon first moving…

  • The “Liar Liar” Towing Yard

    The “Liar Liar” Towing Yard

    ‘ A few weeks ago, Mike, from MovieShotsLA, and I spent an entire day stalking in and around the Malibu area.  But before actually heading west to the ‘Bu, Mike made a little surprise pit stop in Alhambra so that the two of us could stalk the towing yard that appeared in fave comedy Liar…

  • Candace’s Rental from “You”

    Candace’s Rental from “You”

    ‘ Though Anavrin was by far my favorite locale from the second season of the Netflix series You, I was also pretty darn smitten with the charming Victorian that Candace Stone (Ambyr Childers) rented during her stay in Los Angeles while posing as Amy Adam.  I was struck by the picturesque property as soon as…

  • Andrew’s House from “A to Z”

    Andrew’s House from “A to Z”

    ‘ Networks have recently begun the practice of digitally releasing the pilot episodes of new shows weeks before their scheduled premiere dates.  I think it’s a genius maneuver and have been relishing watching them all.  One that I perused, on the recommendation of fellow stalker Owen, of the When Write Is Wrong blog, was A…
