    The Royal Laundry Complex from the “As Long As You Love Me” Music Video

    ‘ Friends often refer to me as a “foamer,” i.e. a person who foams at the mouth over all things Disney.  Apparently, I am not a very good one, though, because up until just recently I had no clue that for the past thirteen years the Disney Store has been headquartered at the Royal Laundry…

    Fat Sal’s Deli – Jerry Ferrara’s Restaurant

    ‘ I’m back, people!  To say that last week was a blast would be an understatement.  It was honestly one of the best weeks of my life and a really special birthday celebration.  There was never a dull moment and I am officially exhausted (and now have a cold), but it was well worth it! …

    ‘ Between our trip to New York and dealing with some matters out of state, the Grim Cheaper and I have been away from home for the better part of five weeks.  While most of our traveling has not been for pleasure, I did just recently get to check an item off of my Stalking…

    ‘ Chances are, if you’”‘”‘ve ever taken the 110 Freeway through Downtown Los Angeles, you’”‘”‘ve noticed the futuristic, space-age style structure located on the west side of the freeway.

    Courteney Cox’s House from “Cougar Town”

    ‘ While on the West Side of L.A. doing some stalking this past weekend, I dragged my fiancé out to see a few of the houses featured on one of my favorite new shows of the fall season, Cougar Town.   Now I know I’ve used the word “favorite” to describe more than one new show…

  • East Miami Police Department from “Rosewood”

    East Miami Police Department from “Rosewood”

    ‘ I was saddened to learn of the cancellation of Rosewood last week.  Yes, I said in recent posts (here and here) that the show had jumped the shark, but I was holding out hope that it would return strong for a third season.  Unfortunately, as Fox announced last Tuesday, that is not to be. …

    Shakey’s Pizza Parlor from “License to Drive”

    ‘ After reading my January 13th post about Mercedes’ friend’s house from fave movie License to Drive, fellow stalker Chas, of the It’s Filmed There blog, texted to let me know that he had managed to track down the Shakey’s Pizza Parlor from the 1988 flick.  As fate would have it, the storefront next door…

    My Guide to L.A. – Hotels

    ‘ I am constantly told that I would make a great concierge for the city of Los Angeles.  I have explored L.A. so much over the years that I know it like the back of my hand and have accumulated a large inventory of favorite places.  I recently decided to corral that inventory into a…

    The “Pretty Little Liars” Church

    ‘ Before we get started, I have a couple of announcements.  Some changes will be coming to the blog in 2016.  The biggest change will be a major site redesign, which the Grim Cheaper is currently working on and which I could NOT be more excited about.  You’”‘”‘ll notice I’”‘”‘ve altered my screen captures a…

  • Jerry’s Condo from “Jerry Maguire”

    Jerry’s Condo from “Jerry Maguire”

    ‘ Location hunts can take some strange, circuitous paths.  Case in point – during my laborious, years-long search for the condo where Jerry Maguire (Tom Cruise) lived in the 1996 classic of the same name, I headed down a fairly deep rabbit hole in an attempt to identify the onetime beach home of actress Suzanne…
