The Rindge House from “The Brasher Doubloon”
‘ There are few things the Grim Cheaper loves more than historic sites. So when we came across a massive dwelling that appeared to have a past while on our way to stalk the Beckett Residence in September 2012, we stopped to take a closer look. Figuring the place had appeared onscreen at some point,…

Carrera Café – Where Your Favorite Celebrity Can Be Turned into Latte Art
‘ When not stalking or shopping, you can typically find me perusing fashion and beauty blogs.

The “Why Him?” Gate House
‘ Location managers can be such tricksters! And there’s pretty much nothing I love more than uncovering the various fabrications that go into a particular locale. Such was the case with the gate house supposedly situated at the entrance to the massive manse belonging to millionaire video game creator Laird Mayhew (James Franco) in Why…

Voletta Wallace’s House from “Unsolved: The Murders of Tupac & the Notorious B.I.G.”
‘ I have never been a fan of rap. My musical tastes tend to run far more tepid (read: Michael Bublé, Michael Jackson, Britney Spears, and ‘80s pop). The Grim Cheaper likes to joke that my iPod song list hasn’t been updated since I first got the device back in 2001. Regardless, when I heard…
