The Ritz-Carlton, Rancho Mirage
‘ The Ritz-Carlton, Rancho Mirage recently re-opened after what amounted to countless delays and an almost eight-year closure. A few years prior to its shuttering, when it was known as The Lodge at Rancho Mirage, the resort hosted the nuptials of Bachelorette Trista Rehn and Ryan Sutter, and I had been itching to stalk it…

Nakatomi Plaza from “Die Hard”
‘ Because we are currently knee deep in the middle of the Christmas Season – which just so happens to be my favorite season 🙂 – I decided to focus my next few blog posts on locations featured in holiday movies. And what better way to start off those Christmas posts than to blog about…

Tom C. Ruz
‘ During high school I was completely and totally head-over-heels for Tom Cruise. Let me clarify that I now think the man is an absolute loon, but back in the day I thought Tom Cruise was the bees knees. 🙂 Each week in my high school Spanish class we were assigned three 5 minute conversations,…

Roscoe “Fatty” Arbuckle’s Former West Adams Houses
‘ I just finished reading a fabulous book about one of Hollywood’s first and biggest controversies titled Room 1219: The Life of Fatty Arbuckle, the Mysterious Death of Virginia Rappe, and the Scandal That Changed Hollywood by Greg Merritt.

The spot I was looking for was the location that stood in for Baja, Mexico in the Season 2 episode entitled “Mexican Standoff”. In the episode, Brenda sneaks off to a Mexican resort town for the weekend with Dylan without telling…

Dinah’s Family Restaurant from “Modern Family”
‘ While I primarily love stalking filming locations of the residential variety, restaurants come in at a close second. So when my friend Owen, of the When Write Is Blog, recently told me about Dinah’s Family Restaurant, a historic Westchester eatery that was featured in a Season 3 episode of Modern Family, I ran right…

Ambassador College from “That Thing You Do!”
‘ All historic structures in the Los Angeles area with the word “ambassador” in their name seem to be doomed. The famed Ambassador Hotel, which once stood at 3400 Wilshire Boulevard in Koreatown, was razed in 2005. And the former Ambassador College, at 131 South St. John Avenue in Pasadena, was largely demolished beginning in…

Blossom Restaurant from “The Morning Show”
‘ I have had to venture out to downtown L.A. several times over the past few months due to some medical issues my dad is having (his main doctor is there). The silver lining during this stressful time (besides the fact that things seem to be progressing in the right direction for him now, knock…

Happy Memorial Day!
‘ I am taking today off for Memorial Day, but will be back tomorrow with a whole new post. I hope all of my fellow stalkers are enjoying their three-day weekends and taking a moment to remember those soldiers who lost their lives while fighting for our country. Until next time, Happy Stalking! 🙂 ‘
