  • The Cohen Mansion from “The O.C.”

    The Cohen Mansion from “The O.C.”

    ‘ Fire has ravaged far too many landmarks as of late – Paramount Ranch, Casey’s home from Scream 2, and now, Notre Dame Cathedral!  The latter, at least, fared better than the Malibu estate that portrayed the Cohen residence on fave show The O.C., which was completely destroyed by the Woolsey Fire last November.  I…

  • A Little Staycation

    A Little Staycation

    ‘ My parents and the Grim Cheaper took me away for a little staycation this week for my birthday, which is why I have been MIA the past couple of days.  I will be back on Friday, though, with a new locale! Until then, Happy Stalking! ‘

  • The Palms Motel from “My Name Is Earl”

    The Palms Motel from “My Name Is Earl”

    ‘ Another day, another motel location.  Today’s is one that has been covered on many other blogs, so I realize I am a bit late to the game.  I only just recently stalked it, though, and was shocked to discover that its most recognizable element had been removed!  I am talking about the Palms Motel…

  • “It Never Rains In Southern California . . . “

    “It Never Rains In Southern California . . . “

    ‘ As the old Albert Hammond song says “It never rains in Southern California, but girl, don’”‘”‘t they warn ya, it pours man, it pours!”  And pour it did almost all last week all over the normally sun drenched landscape of Los Angeles.  While on my way to stalk Burbank’”‘”‘s Handy Grocery Store in the pouring rain this…

  • The Golden Spoon Cafe from “The Brady Bunch”

    The Golden Spoon Cafe from “The Brady Bunch”

    ‘ My best friend, Robin, is currently in town with his girlfriend for a week visiting from Switzerland, so I will not be blogging about this year’s Halloween activities until next Tuesday. I will also be taking most of this week off, though I will, as always, have an article on Los Angeles magazine on…

  • Rod’s Grill from “Mad Men”

    Rod’s Grill from “Mad Men”

    ‘ During last year’s Haunted Hollywood postings, I blogged about the Mills View House in Monrovia, which was featured in both the Season 1 Halloween-themed episode of Picket Fences titled “Remembering Rosemary” and the 1986 horror flick House.  Well, as luck would have it, since that time I have been lucky enough to meet Sabin…

  • The Los Angeles Marriott Burbank Airport Hotel from “The Office”

    The Los Angeles Marriott Burbank Airport Hotel from “The Office”

    ‘ I typically have the memory of an elephant, but up until the Grim Cheaper and I recently started re-watching The Office over again from the beginning, I had honestly forgotten what a great show it is.  I had also forgotten that several locations from it remain unknown and/or undocumented.  One that I recognized immediately…

  • Arrowhead Pine Rose Cabins from “Veep”

    Arrowhead Pine Rose Cabins from “Veep”

    ‘ I often find myself thinking about how fabulous it would be if Instagram had existed back when Beverly Hills, 90210 was still on the air.  One of my most-loved down-time activities is perusing the feed of actors currently starring on shows I watch to see the various behind-the-scenes stories and photos they post.  Not…

  • The Salton Sea

    The Salton Sea

    ‘ About fifty miles southeast of Palm Springs lies the Salton Sea, a former resort destination that I had wanted to stalk ever since seeing Troy Paiva’s haunting images of the place on his website Lost America.  Due to the fact that it is largely abandoned and hence lacking in public restrooms, I hesitated making…
