    The Glen Capri Inn & Suites from “The Good Girl”

    ‘ A few weeks ago, I dragged the Grim Cheaper out to stalk the Glen Capri Inn & Suites – a historic and oft-filmed Glendale-area motel that has appeared in over twenty movie and television productions in the past six years alone.  I was most interested in stalking the property due to its appearance in…

    Mansion Adena – The “A Haunting in Salem” House

    ‘ As I mentioned back in October during my Haunted-Hollywood-themed-month, while doing research on the Strode house from Halloween I came across a post on fellow stalker Lisa’s Midnight in the Garden of Evil website about Dick Van Dyke’s annual Halloween extravaganza, which I later had the incredible good fortune to stalk. Lisa’s post also…

    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…

    “The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet” House

    ‘ My knowledge of the Golden Age of Television doesn’t extend much beyond I Love Lucy, which I watched regularly with my grandma as a child.  I am so out of the loop when it comes to entertainment of that era, in fact, that up until recently coming across a blurb in my friend E.J.’s…

    A Visit with My Grandma

    Harry’s New York Bar

    ‘ Every year while in New York, my boyfriend and I make it a point to stop into the Helmsley Park Lane Hotel located on 59th Street. I love stepping inside the Park Lane’”‘”‘s beautiful lobby with its grand winding staircases, red antique rugs, and twinkling crystal chandeliers. I don’”‘”‘t know what it is about…

    San Francisco Saloon from “The Ugly Truth”

    ‘ Before we moved in together in 2008, the Grim Cheaper lived on the West Side of Los Angeles and, consequently, the two of us spent the majority of our time out there.  During those years, when driving back and forth from his condo, I would often pass by a bar named San Francisco Saloon. …
