    Miami-Dade-Hawthorne-California Police Department

    ‘ My favorite is and I was absolutely obsessed with finding the location used as the Miami-Dade police department.  One of my good friends had an audition for and, knowing what a stalker I am, he took me with him to the studio in Redondo Beach so that I could scout locations.  I was hoping the building was located…

    The Safari Inn from “True Romance”

    ‘ One oft-filmed-at locale that I had known about for ages, but had never gotten around to stalking was the historic Safari Inn on West Olive Avenue in Burbank. I had driven by the motel countless times over the years – I get my hair done right across the street, in fact – and, even…

    San Francisco Stalking!

    ‘ This weekend while visiting San Francisco, my friend Nat put together a custom made stalking tour of The City by the Bay for me. She said she had a new found respect for me, as she hadn’”‘”‘t realized how much time and energy finding locations took until she put together the tour for me.…

    Diane’s House from “Say Anything . . . “

    ‘ I have been on a major Say Anything . . . kick lately thanks to a soon-to-be published post I recently wrote for Discover Los Angeles.  While doing research for the article, I became a bit fixated on tracking down an unknown location from the 1989 romcom (one that I still have yet to…
