Ali’s Trailer Park from “Burlesque”
‘ While the Grim Cheaper and I were stalking in Downtown Piru this past Saturday, the super-nice owner of Poncho’s Place, the restaurant from True Blood that I blogged about on Tuesday, clued me into the fact that the supposed rural, Iowa-area trailer park where Ali (aka Christina Aguilera) lived in the beginning of Burlesque…

Hooked On Houses
‘ Jackie over at Hooked On Houses just gave me a very nice shout out linking back to my Father of the Bride post – Thanks, Jackie! Her post includes a very interesting article about the current owners of the FATB house, so check it out! I wasn’”‘”‘t aware that the producers had also used…

Ugo Café from “The Morning Show”
‘ The Season 1 finale of The Morning Show might have been one of the finest hours of television ever created! It left me equal parts heartbroken, disgusted, and hopeful, with the last few minutes propelling me out of my seat, literally jumping for joy and teeming with spit and vinegar, ready to take on…

Cordon’s Ranch Market from “Christmas with the Kranks”
‘ Christmas with the Kranks has got to be one of the oddest movies I’ve ever come across location-wise.

Because Lisa…

Wollman Ice Skating Rink
‘ I’m sticking with my Christmas stalking theme for one more day – even though it’s already December 28th – as I had originally intended to publish this post on Christmas Eve, but, unfortunately, ran out of time. As I’ve said many times before, though, it’s better to be late than never! So, here goes! …

The Infamous Solar Drive Mansion
‘ Shortly before Halloween, my good friend Nat sent me a link to an article on the TopTenRealEstateDeals website (an article that I now maddeningly cannot find anywhere online) about the top ten haunted houses then for sale in the U.S. My interest was immediately piqued at one of the properties featured when I read…

Tom Neal’s Former House
‘ Upon first moving to the Desert in January, I started seriously perusing the book Palm Springs Confidential, which the Grim Cheaper’s boss had purchased for me several years prior. One locale mentioned in the tome that immediately piqued my interest was the former Little Tuscany Estates residence of Tom Neal, where, on April 1st,…
