    Abbey San Encino from “Dexter”

    ‘ As I have mentioned several times before on this blog, I absolutely cannot watch an episode of fave show Dexter without having my iPad next to me and a web-browser open to the Seeing Stars website’s extensive Dexter filming locations page.  And this season has been no different.  While watching the episode titled “Once…

  • The Drug Store and Beauty Salon from “Beautiful Girls”

    The Drug Store and Beauty Salon from “Beautiful Girls”

    ‘ Another Stillwater location that I was incredibly excited about stalking was the drugstore where Gina Barrisano (aka Rosie O’Donnell) spewed a very choicely-worded rant at Willie Conway (aka Timothy Hutton) and Tommy “Birdman” Rowland (aka Matt Dillon) over their superficial treatment of women in fave movie Beautiful Girls.  Fellow stalker Owen had actually managed…

    Fog City Diner from “So I Married an Axe Murderer”

    ‘ I abhor change, as longtime readers of this site well know.  So I was devastated to learn that Fog City Diner, the landmark eatery in my hometown of San Francisco, had undergone a major revamp and reopened as the simpler, sleeker and far more modern “Fog City.”  The shiny chrome train-like structure situated on…

    Samantha’s Meatpacking Digs!

    ‘ Yet another New York location that Mike, God of Stalking, found for me is the new apartment Samantha moves into early in the third season of Sex and the City.

  • Inez’s House from “Chef”

    Inez’s House from “Chef”

    ‘ My favorite movie of 2014 was, hands down, The Other Woman.  Running a close second was Chef, which I am guessing many of you have not heard of.  Sadly, it was a bit of a sleeper.  Take my word for it, though, the flick is fabulous.  As are its locations!  But more on that…

  • The “Joey” Apartment Building

    The “Joey” Apartment Building

    ‘ For quite a while now I have been begging Mike, from MovieShotsLA, to locate the apartment building where Joey Tribbiani lived with his nephew, Michael, on the Friends  spin-off Joey.   So, imagine my surprise when I came across the address randomly in The Ultimate Hollywood Tour Book.   In the book, the address is listed as…

    Happy 2009!

    ‘ Last night, while watching the annual New Year’”‘”‘s Eve Ball Drop on television, my best friend mentioned that she wished she could see a photograph of a person standing next to the famous ball so that she could get an idea of how big it is in real life. Well, I just so happened…

    The Stab Premiere

    ‘ This weekend I dragged my boyfriend out to South Pasadena to do some more stalking of the movie .

  • The Garland Hotel from “Parks and Recreation”

    The Garland Hotel from “Parks and Recreation”

    ‘ A couple of years ago, I drove by a hotel that looked like a little slice of retro heaven and became transfixed.  I made a mental note of its name and vowed to research it further.  As soon as I got home, though, I realized the name had escaped me and, because I have…
