The Phillips Mansion
‘ The Grim Cheaper always tells me that it is not about the destination, but the journey. He’s right. Getting lost can have its perks. While driving around looking for Spadra Cemetery (which I blogged about on Friday) a couple of weeks ago, we happened upon a seemingly abandoned mansion set back from the road…

Home Restaurant from “Raines”
‘ Every once in a while a show comes along that immediately hooks me. Such was the case with Raines, an extremely short-lived police procedural boasting a scant seven-episode run. I was unaware of the NBC series at the time of its original airing in March 2007. In fact, I only learned of it this…

The Baldwin Home from “For All Mankind”
‘ Apple TV+ is seriously setting the bar high when it comes to original content! Every program I’ve come across on the streaming platform has been excellent. I first got hooked on The Morning Show, then Truth Be Told and, most recently, For All Mankind, a 1960s/1970s-set series that focuses on an alternate reality in…

Boardner’s of Hollywood from “Beverly Hills, 90210”
‘ Another destination included on the Grim Cheaper’s Valentine’s Day scavenger hunt was Boardner’s of Hollywood, a historic bar which was recommended to me by fellow stalker John who lives in the Bay Area. John had emailed me quite a few months back to let me know that the legendary watering hole had been featured…

Killarney Market from Michael Buble’s “Haven’t Met You Yet” Video
‘ Now don’t laugh, but the primary reason behind the Grim Cheaper’s and my trip up to the Pacific Northwest this past weekend was so that I could stalk the spot where Michael Buble filmed the music video for his hit song “Haven’t Met You Yet” – Killarney Market in Vancouver, British Columbia. Sure, we…

Contra Dam from “GoldenEye”
‘ Sorry to have been M.I.A. the past couple of days. My dad had surgery last Wednesday and I spent the better portion of the remainder of the week in the hospital with him. He is having a follow-up surgery this upcoming Wednesday, as well, so this week will also probably be light on posts. …

Watching the Filming of The Mentalist!
‘ Last week, while out and about stalking in Pasadena, I just happened to run across a large production crew filming underneath the Colorado Street Bridge, so, of course, I just had to pull my car over to ask what was being filmed. 🙂 Well, when I found out the filming was for my new favorite TV show The Mentalist,I just about flipped my…

Halloween 2016 at the Los Angeles Haunted Hayride
‘ I love anything and everything having to do with the ‘80s. So when I started hearing buzz about Stanger Things, a horror series on Netflix with deep ‘80s undertones, this past summer, I knew I’d be hooked. The Grim Cheaper and I finally sat down to binge-watch it in August and immediately became obsessed,…

Scout Bar from “Sex and the City”
‘ Yet another Sex and the City location that I stalked while in New York last month was O’Nieals Grand Street Bar, which stood in for Scout, the watering hole owned by Carrie and Miranda’s ex-boyfriends, Aidan and Steve, on the show. And even though I had actually stalked this location during last year’s New…
