The “Perfect Strangers” Apartment Building
‘ A few weeks ago, while perusing fave book Marilyn Monroe Dyed Here: More Locations of America’s Pop Culture Landmarks by Chris Epting (which was gifted to me by fellow stalker Lavonna – thanks, Lavonna! ), I came across a blurb about the supposed Chicago, Illinois-area apartment building where Balki Bartokomous (Bronson Pinchot) and “Cousin…

The Sadr City Date Factory from “American Sniper”
‘ As I sat down to figure out what to write about for today’s post, I started getting worried that my location backlog was running low. That worry was quickly amended as soon as I began perusing my inventory of stalking photographs and saw that was not the case at all. I have so many…

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.

Murder mystery premise? Check! Shot in L.A.? Check! And it starred both AnnaLynne McCord (from my beloved 90210) and David James…

Villa Blanca Restaurant from “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills”
‘ A couple of weeks ago while out doing some stalking in the Beverly Hills area, the Grim Cheaper and I found ourselves hungry so I suggested grabbing a bite to eat at Villa Blanca, the Italian eatery owned by The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills’ Lisa Vanderpump and her husband Ken Todd. Because Lisa…

The “Malcolm in the Middle” House
‘ This weekend while I was in Studio City, I did a little stalking of the house. I must admit that I have never watched a single episode of I know, I know, I must have been living under a rock for the past eight years or something – but since it is the favorite show of…
