Mayo Clinic – Here We Come!
‘ Because I spent all day Saturday en route to Minnesota to accompany my dad to the Mayo Clinic and because I spent all day Sunday STALKING the Twin Cities (I stalked a record 18 locations in all), I had no time to write a blog post for today. So, I am taking the day off,…

The “License to Drive” Hospital
‘ A couple of weeks ago, the Grim Cheaper and I headed to L.A. for a brief visit and just happened to book a hotel on the west side of town for our stay. The location turned out to be quite fortuitous, too, as it allowed me to stalk a few nearby spots that had…

All Marilyn, All the Time!
‘ I dragged my mom to Hollywood last Friday to do a little Marilyn stalking. She wasn’”‘”‘t too keen on the idea, but I was absolutely dying to do something I had yet to do in all the years I have lived in LA – I wanted to put my hands in Marilyn Monroe’”‘”‘s handprints…

The Conservatory Garden from “The Girl on the Train”
‘ One of my favorite places in all of Manhattan is, surprisingly, not a stalking location. Or at least it wasn’t up until recently. The Conservatory Garden, a six-acre oasis in East Harlem situated across from the Museum of the City of New York, is easily the most picturesque park I have ever set foot…

The Bates Motel
‘ Today’s location would be better suited for a Haunted Hollywood post, but because it is set to be torn down by the end of the year, I figured time was of the essence. While spending the week in L.A. last month with my good buddies Kim and Katie (that’s Katie pictured above), a friend…

Cary and Jennifer Grant’s Former House
‘ As I mentioned last month, back on May 28th I attended the Jennifer Grant book signing for Good Stuff, the actress’ newly-penned memoir about her late father, movie star Cary Grant. Well, I finally finished reading the tome last weekend and I can honestly say that it is one of the best books I…

Arnold’s Turtle – The Inspiration for Central Perk on “Friends”
‘ It appears that my posts have been heavy on filming location inspiration as of late. On Friday, I blogged about the Annie orphanage and the two buildings that it was modeled after. And here I am today with another spot that served as inspiration – this one Arnold’s Turtle Vegetarian Café, the eatery that…

The “Secrets and Lies” Brothel
‘ I found the second season of Secrets and Lies abysmal – which is surprising being that, on paper, it contained several elements that should have made it a sure-fire hit in my book. Murder mystery premise? Check! Shot in L.A.? Check! And it starred both AnnaLynne McCord (from my beloved 90210) and David James…

The McDonald Mansion from “Pollyanna”
‘ I am fully aware that I have a hyperbolic nature. I use words like “favorite,” “best,” and “most” a LOT. Caps, too, for that matter. I wouldn’t say that I am an exaggerator, though. I just happen to like a lot of things. Case in point, I have more “all-time favorite” movies than I…
