  • My Favorite Pasadena Places – Part I

    My Favorite Pasadena Places – Part I

    ‘ While the Grim Cheaper and I are absolutely loving our new apartment and desert locale, I am, of course, feeling quite nostalgic about Pasadena, the fabulous city that I called home for over thirteen years. There are so many things that I am going to miss about the place – even my former building’s…

  • The “Crossroads” Motel

    The “Crossroads” Motel

    ‘ One location that I have been trying to track down for what seems like ages now is the supposed Tucson, Arizona-area motel where Ben (aka Anson Mount) played the song “I’m Not a Girl, Not Yet a Woman” for Lucy (aka Britney Spears) in the 2002 movie Crossroads.  In the flick, Ben takes Lucy…

  • Lake Arrowhead’s North Shore Marina Beach from “Vanderpump Rules”

    Lake Arrowhead’s North Shore Marina Beach from “Vanderpump Rules”

    ‘ Some television moments are so iconic they cannot be forgotten.  A few that are ingrained in my memory for the long haul – Ross and Rachel’s rain-soaked first kiss on Friends, Sam and Diane’s slapping fight on Cheers, Dylan’s epic tantrum (complete with a shattered potted plant) during his first date with Brenda on…

  • The Urban Outfitters from “National Treasure”

    The Urban Outfitters from “National Treasure”

    ‘ Today’s stalking venture is not only six years in the making, but a cross-country endeavor!  Way back in January 2013, as the Grim Cheaper and I were preparing to move from Pasadena to Palm Springs, I caught National Treasure on TV and immediately recognized the exterior of the Urban Outfitters in the flick as…

  • The Poppa’s Popcorn House!

    The Poppa’s Popcorn House!

    ‘ Quite a few months back, I challenged Mike, from MovieShotsLA, to find the house the Ashe family moved into in the Season 2 episode of Beverly Hills, 90210  entitled “Ashes to Ashes”.  In the episode, the African-American family moves in to a home just down the street from the Walshes, causing quite a stir in their…

  • The “Poison Ivy” Mansion

    The “Poison Ivy” Mansion

    ‘ Back in early August, Drew Barrymore aficionado Ashley, from the Drewseum website, challenged me to find the large pink mansion belonging to the  Cooper family – Sylvie (aka Sara Gilbert), Darryl (aka Tom Skerritt), and Georgie (aka Cheryl Ladd) – in the 1992 thriller Poison Ivy.  But because I was just a few weeks…

  • The Last Bookstore from “Gone Girl”

    The Last Bookstore from “Gone Girl”

    ‘ I love bookstores – and books.  Actual books, not the digitized versions.  You will never catch me reading on a Kindle.  I like the feel of a book in my hands, the physical act of turning the pages and the smell.  I love, love, love the smell of books.  The Grim Cheaper always makes…

  • Taking the Day Off

    Taking the Day Off

    ‘ Because some good friends came to town yesterday, I was unfortunately not able to write a new blog post for today.  But I promise to be back on Monday with a whole new location.  So until that time, Happy Stalking! ‘

  • Bob’s Big Boy in Burbank from “Heat”

    Bob’s Big Boy in Burbank from “Heat”

    ‘ While doing some stalking in the Burbank area way back in November of last year, I dragged the Grim Cheaper out to the Bob’s Big Boy restaurant on Riverside Drive to grab a bite to eat.  And even though the eatery has quite a vast Hollywood history, is a filming location, serves fried food…

  • Happy Presidents’ Day!

    ‘ Hi fellow stalkers! As you’”‘”‘ve probably noticed already IAmNotAStalker has a new look. Because I was working out the kinks on the new site all weekend, I didn’”‘”‘t have time to write a post. And in honor of Presidents’”‘”‘ Day, I’”‘”‘m taking today off. 🙂 I promise I’”‘”‘ll be back tomorrow. So without further…
