Bahooka Family Restaurant from “Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas”
‘ This past Sunday morning, my mom emailed me a link to a Los Angeles Magazine article about the upcoming closure of a veritable San Gabriel Valley institution, Bahooka Family Restaurant in Rosemead, with the admonishment, “You’d better take pictures!

LA Not So Confidential
‘ For years my mom has been begging me to do some stalking of one of her favorite movies, LA Confidential. Ever since the movie came out back in 1997 she has been obsessed with finding the various houses used during filming, but none more so than David Strathiarn’”‘”‘s character’”‘”‘s beautiful, ultra modern hillside abode.…

Villa d’Este – The “Under the Yum Yum Tree” Apartment Building
‘ Thank you to all of my fellow stalkers for putting up with my two recent – and much-needed – blogging hiatuses. It felt so good to relax and recharge and I will now be back with a vengeance. And now, on with the post! A couple of months ago, after stalking Romanesque Villa, my…
