  • Skylark Hotel from “Palm Swings”

    Skylark Hotel from “Palm Swings”

    ‘ One of the best parts of starting this blog is the many connections I’ve been able to make with people who share this unique predilection of mine.  I recently had the pleasure of meeting up with mid-century-modern-house-stalker George Smart, of the USModernist website, who was in town for Palm Springs’ annual Modernism Week.  He…

  • Pawn Shop to the Stars

    Pawn Shop to the Stars

    ‘ Another day, another pawn shop to write about. 🙂 Ironically, just around the corner from the now defunct Beverly Hills, 90210 pawn shop that I blogged about yesterday, is yet another local pawn shop that also has a filming history. Who knew that pawn shops were such popular filming locations?? 🙂 Angelo’”‘”‘s Jewelry and…

  • Tom Bergin’s Tavern from “Duplex”

    Tom Bergin’s Tavern from “Duplex”

    ‘ Two weeks ago, while doing research on Molly Malone’s (which I blogged about here), I came across a website for another historic Irish pub also located on South Fairfax Avenue in L.A.’s Fairfax District.  The bar is named Tom Bergin’s Old Horseshoe and Thoroughbred Club (or just simply Tom Bergin’s Tavern) and not only…

  • Ugo Café from “The Morning Show”

    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…

  • The Who’s the Boss House

    The Who’s the Boss House

    ‘ One location that I will, sadly, not be able to stalk during this year’s New York vacation for the simple fact that it is located too far from the island of Manhattan is the home belonging to the Bower Family in the 1984 television sitcom Who’s the Boss?  But thankfully, fellow stalker Owen visited…

  • The “Lady Bird” House

    The “Lady Bird” House

    ‘ I know I am in the minority when I say I did not like Lady Bird.  Besides confusion over the name (up until I actually popped in the DVD and started watching, I thought the movie was a biopic about Lady Bird Johnson) and a storyline that seemed lacking, I found the main character,…

  • 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…

  • Myra Jones’ Former House

    Myra Jones’ Former House

    ‘ Though I love true crime and pretty much all of its facets, there are some cases that I find too sad and disturbing to read about, research, do any stalking of, or feature on my blog.  Today’s locale, the site of the brutal rape and murder of a 71-year-old grandma, is not one I…

  • Kyra Sedgwick’s Walk Of Fame Star Ceremony

    Kyra Sedgwick’s Walk Of Fame Star Ceremony

    ‘ I found out a few weeks ago that Kyra Sedgwick would be receiving the 2,384th Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on the morning of Monday, June 8th.  So, I immediately called up my good friend Blaze and asked him if he wanted to join me in watching the ceremony.   He, of course, said yes,…

  • Quake!

    Quake!

    ‘ The other night while driving home from the hospital – yes, my dad is in the hospital yet again – I happened to hit a red light at the corner of Green Street and Arroyo Parkway in Pasadena. The light took a really long time to change and while waiting I just happened to…
