    Jan’s Duplex from “Beautiful Girls”

    ‘ One of the locations that I was most excited about stalking while in Minnesota three weeks ago (and I can hardly even believe that it’s already been three weeks!) was the duplex where Jan (aka Martha Plimpton) lived in fave movie Beautiful Girls.  The residence is actually located in Hopkins, a city about thirteen…

    The Cecil B. DeMille Estate

    ‘ This past April, the Grim Cheaper’s best friend came to town for a visit and, while he was here, he invited us over for dinner at his parents’ house.  Well, believe you me, because his parents live in the gated Los Feliz celebrity enclave known as Laughlin Park, there was very little arm-twisting involved…

    Aloha Waterworld!

    ‘ My family and I arrived in Kona on the Big Island of Hawaii yesterday afternoon for a little summer vacation. YAY! I keep pinching myself as I can’”‘”‘t even believe I am really here!!! Anyway, during the flight I made a list of a few places to stalk while in Hawaii. But today I…

    The White House Gates from “Scandal”

    ‘ My life as of late seems to be absorbed by Scandal.  As I mentioned last week, the Grim Cheaper and I have recently become addicted to the ABC series.  Besides watching it during pretty much every free waking moment, I have also been furiously researching the show’s filming locations.  While set in Washington, D.C.,…

    Ronnie and Amber’s House from “Modern Family”
