Ambassador College from “That Thing You Do!”
‘ All historic structures in the Los Angeles area with the word “ambassador” in their name seem to be doomed. The famed Ambassador Hotel, which once stood at 3400 Wilshire Boulevard in Koreatown, was razed in 2005. And the former Ambassador College, at 131 South St. John Avenue in Pasadena, was largely demolished beginning in…

The Water Street Cafe from “Love Happens”
‘ Just down the street from the former Tabu Boutique, the storefront that masqueraded as Eloise’s Garden in the 2009 movie Love Happens which I blogged about yesterday, is Water Street Cafe, the upscale restaurant where Eloise Chandler (aka Jennifer Aniston) and Burke Ryan (aka Aaron Eckhart) ate dinner during their extremely awkward first date…

The Oldest Restaurant in Hollywood!
‘ Two weeks ago, while my mom and I were out stalking in Hollywood, we hit up Musso and Frank’”‘”‘s Grill, which has the distinction of being the oldest running restaurant in Hollywood.

Miranda and Steve’s Garden Wedding
‘ In keeping with the SATC theme of this week, I thought I’”‘”‘d do a post about a location that my boyfriend actually dragged me to! At the time I had no idea it was a filming location, let alone a SATC filming location, so sadly I didn’”‘”‘t take many pictures while I was there.…

The Philadelphia Museum of Art from “Rocky”
‘ The Philadelphia Museum of Art has been called the world’s second most famous filming location, falling only behind Grand Central Station in New York. While the latter has been captured on celluloid copious times, the former is known mainly for one significant appearance. It was there that Rocky Balboa (Sylvester Stallone) embodied triumph by…

The “Lady Bird” House
‘ I know I am in the minority when I say I did not like Lady Bird. Besides confusion over the name (up until I actually popped in the DVD and started watching, I thought the movie was a biopic about Lady Bird Johnson) and a storyline that seemed lacking, I found the main character,…
