"Leave the Gun, Take the Cannoli"
‘ My title might be a bit in poor taste, but it seems Robert Blake followed just that advice on a fateful day back in May 2001 after dining at Vitello’”‘”‘s Restaurant in Studio City. Although a jury found him not guilty, it is pretty widely assumed that Blake murdered his wife Bonnie Lee Bakley…

The “My So-Called Life” House
‘ Since I blogged about the house which stood in for the Chase residence in the pilot episode of My So-Called Life yesterday, I thought I would write today about the house which was used in the remaining 18 episodes of the series. I have actually blogged about this location once before, over three years…

A Day of Celebrity Stalking! 🙂
‘ I spent pretty much all day yesterday doing some stalking of celebrities (one of whom was fellow stalker Owen’”‘”‘s – of the When Write is Wrong blog – girlfriend, Jennifer Love Hewitt ) with Miss Pinky Lovejoy, of the Thinking Pink blog, so I was unfortunately unable to write a new post for today. …

Pasadena Central Library from “Foul Play”
‘ It’s my favorite day of the year!

To kick things…

The King Edward Hotel from “In Time”
‘ I am a sucker for a grand staircase! My affinity likely stems from the movie Titanic, which I was obsessed with back in the day. Whatever the impetus, I am drawn to them like a moth to a flame. Case in point – while researching the Surfridge neighborhood for this 2013 post, I was…

Michael Jackson’s Former Condo
‘ A few months back I read a fabulous book named Michael Jackson: The Magic, The Madness, The Whole Story written by author J. Randy Taraborelli about the life and times of the King of Pop. I’ve mentioned the biography once before in a post I wrote back in September about the Jackson Family’s first…

The Buhrman House from “Truth Be Told”
‘ I am a firm believer in love at first sight. I definitely had hearts in my eyes upon catching a glimpse of the stunning Victorian where the Buhrman family lived on Truth Be Told. The towering Queen Anne, pitched atop a leafy hill, was striking, to say the least, and I promptly set out…

Jesse and Becky’s Honeymoon Send-Off Location from “Full House”
‘ I have grown used to productions playing fast and loose with location continuity, but was still flummoxed when I came across a thread back in January 2016 on a now defunct website in which a commenter asked if anyone knew which residence was used as the Tanner family home in the Season 4 episode…

Descanso Beach Club from “NCIS”
‘ My family has long had a love affair with Catalina, the idyllic island located about 22 miles southwest of Los Angeles. One of our favorite spots to grab lunch or an evening cocktail while there is Descanso Beach Club, a toes-in-the-sand restaurant situated along the shore of Descanso Bay. I have visited the site…
