    Crossroads of the World from “Dexter”

    ‘ Before I get started, I’”‘”‘d like to give a big birthday shout-out to my beloved Grandma, who turns 86 today.  Happy Birthday, Grandma!  I love you!  And now, on with the post!  One location that I dragged the Grim Cheaper out to stalk while in the Hollywood area a few weeks back was Crossroads of…

  • “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” Christmas House

    “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” Christmas House

    ‘ It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas – well, as much as it can in SoCal – which means it’s time to start posting holiday locales!  I’m kicking off the season with the pad that portrayed the Banks family residence in the Season 1 Yuletide-themed episode of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air titled…

  • Heading Back East

    ‘ The Grim Cheaper and I are currently back east for the next week and a half, which, unfortunately, means I will not have any new posts until (most likely) September 23rd.  Our trip is not under the best of circumstances (we are attending a funeral), but we have planned a couple of side trips…

  • Joe’s Apartment from the Second Season of “You”

    Joe’s Apartment from the Second Season of “You”

    ‘ The second season of You couldn’t have been more quintessentially L.A.!  Nowhere is that more evident than in the apartment building that served as Joe Goldberg’s (Penn Badgley) new West Coast home.  As a reader commented about the place to me last week on Facebook, “It seems like I’ve passed it 284739484 times in…

  • Drew Barrymore’s Childhood Home

    Drew Barrymore’s Childhood Home

    ‘ A few weeks ago, Drew Barrymore aficionado Ashley, from The Drewseum website, asked me and fellow stalker Owen for some help in tracking down the home where the young E.T. star lived from 1984 through 1988.  Over the years, Ashley had accumulated a few clues as to the property’s location, mostly from Drew’s autobiography…

  • Burbank Town Center Mall from the Season 3 Finale of “The Mentalist”

    Burbank Town Center Mall from the Season 3 Finale of “The Mentalist”

    ‘ While watching the two-part Season 3 finale of fave show The Mentalist titled “Strawberries and Cream” a few weeks back, I just about died when I realized that the Burbank Town Center had stood in for the supposed Sacramento-area “Pinewood Shopping Mall” in the episode’s climatic final scene.  While Burbank Town Center is not…

  • Late Night!

    Late Night!

    ‘ The GC and I returned home from Palm Springs very late last night due to the fact that we spent the entire day stalking a celebrity golf tournament, so I was unable to complete a blog post for today.  But I will be back tomorrow with a whole new post. Until next time, Happy…

    My Favorite Pasadena Places – Part II

  • Bleeker’s House from “Juno”

    Bleeker’s House from “Juno”

    ‘ Another Vancouver location that fellow stalker Owen managed to track down was the supposed Minnesota-area house belonging to dorky high school track-star Paulie Bleeker (aka Michael Cera) in the 2007 breakout dramedy Juno.  And even though I was not a big fan of the flick – it was funny and all, but not especially…

  • Spencer and Heidi’s Big Day!

    Spencer and Heidi’s Big Day!

    ‘ Well, it’”‘”‘s official!    The reality TV couple that everyone loves to hate tied the knot at a Pasadena church earlier today .  And, of course, I was there to stalk it!!!!  🙂   I have to say it was A-MA-ZING to be there and surprisingly enough, I think I am now on Team Spencer!  I can’”‘”‘t quite believe it…
