  • Charles Mulligan’s Steakhouse from “Parks and Recreation”

    Charles Mulligan’s Steakhouse from “Parks and Recreation”

    ‘ This past March I wrote The Complete Parks and Recreation Guide to Los Angeles for L.A. magazine.  At the time of the posting, though, I had yet to visit every location featured on the list.  The most glaring omission from my stalking profile was Whiskey Bend, the Burbank bar that masqueraded as Charles Mulligan’s…

    The “Poison Ivy” Mansion

    ‘ Back in early August, Drew Barrymore aficionado Ashley, from the Drewseum website, challenged me to find the large pink mansion belonging to the  Cooper family – Sylvie (aka Sara Gilbert), Darryl (aka Tom Skerritt), and Georgie (aka Cheryl Ladd) – in the 1992 thriller Poison Ivy.  But because I was just a few weeks…

    A Visit with My BFF

    ‘ My best friend, Robin, who lives in Switzerland, just arrived in California for a surprise, last-minute visit.  I am so BEYOND excited, you don’t even understand!  I will be taking the next two weeks off to spend time with him, but will be back on Monday, March 24th with a new post.  In the…

  • My Los Angeles Must-Stalk List

    My Los Angeles Must-Stalk List

    ‘ If I had a nickel for every time a fellow stalker wrote to me asking for my top ten favorite locations in all of Los Angeles, I would have a whole lot more Louis Vuitton in my closet than I do right now. Over the years, in response to that repeated question, I compiled…

    ‘ Another Upper East Side location that I set out to stalk while in New York two weeks ago was the building used to portray Constance Billard School for Girls and St. Jude’s School for Boys on my new favorite show, Gossip Girl.  So, you can imagine my surprise when, while doing some location research…

  • Echo Park

    Echo Park

    ‘ One location that I have wanted to stalk ever since June 2012, when I wrote my post about MacArthur Park from New Girl (which you can read here), was the similar-looking Echo Park in L.A.’s Echo Park neighborhood.  Sadly though, my efforts were thwarted for over a year due to an extensive restoration project…

  • The Trails Café from “The Catch”

    The Trails Café from “The Catch”

    ‘ Today’s locale required a ridiculous amount of stalking – of myself.  A few months back, while scanning through a television show making screen captures for a post, I spotted what I thought was the side of The Trails Café, one of my favorite L.A. eateries.  A quick look at Google Street View’s imagery of…

  • The Willmore from “Rosewood”

    The Willmore from “Rosewood”

    ‘ The Grim Cheaper and I became obsessed with a myriad of new shows this year, namely Blindspot, Quantico (though I think that one may have already jumped the shark), The Family, Limitless, The Grinder (those last three have, sadly, all been cancelled), and Rosewood.  Oh, how we love Rosewood.   The police procedural perfectly…
