Dwight’s Bar from “Burlesque”
‘ One Burlesque filming location that I had been trying to track down for what seems like forever now was Dwight’s Bar, which was featured in the movie’s opening scene as the supposed small-town, Iowa-area watering hole where Ali (aka Christina Aguilera) worked. Even though the bar only appeared in one very brief, blink-and-you’ll-miss-it establishing…

Burlesque Lounge from “Burlesque”

The Blankenhorn Lamphear House from “Teaching Mrs. Tingle”
‘ As I mentioned in yesterday’s post (which you can read here), I recently went on a trek to find all of the locations used in the 1999 thriller Teaching Mrs. Tingle.

The Virginia Street Bridge from “The Misfits”
‘ Another Marilyn Monroe location that I dragged my dad and grandmother out to stalk while visiting Reno, Nevada last month was the famed Virginia Street Bridge, aka the “Bridge of Sighs”, which was featured in the 1961 film The Misfits. As I mentioned in last Friday’s post about the Washoe Country Courthouse, during the…

Courteney Cox’s House from “Cougar Town”
‘ While on the West Side of L.A. doing some stalking this past weekend, I dragged my fiancé out to see a few of the houses featured on one of my favorite new shows of the fall season, Cougar Town. Now I know I’ve used the word “favorite” to describe more than one new show…

Bad Day!
‘ This past Friday was an exceptionally bad day for me and my family. Not only did I have to take my dad to the emergency room, but while we were there we received a phone call that my uncle was being rushed into the OR for an emergency bypass surgery – it ended up…

Old Tony’s on the Pier from "The O.C."
‘ The Baader-Meinhof phenomenon has been in full effect lately when it comes to Old Tony’s on the Pier, a Redondo Beach restaurant I stalked way back in January 2012 with my good friend Mike (he provided many of the images in this post), but have yet to blog about. First, Alison Martino, founder of…
