  • Kaldi Coffee and Tea from “Lady Bird”

    Kaldi Coffee and Tea from “Lady Bird”

    ‘ The Grim Cheaper and I are almost all settled in to our new desert home, so I should be getting back to my regularly scheduled blog programing in the near future.  Thanks for bearing with me over the past few weeks.  For my first post-move locale, I thought I’d write about a spot I…

  • Lester Siegel’s House from “Argo”

    Lester Siegel’s House from “Argo”

    ‘ Today’s post is the very first blog written from my new home in the desert. The Grim Cheaper and I moved last Wednesday (it took over 15 hours!) and are finally getting settled in to our Palm Springs pad. There is still quite a bit left to complete, though, and, while the hyper-organized/anal/OCD-side of…

  • “The Wedding Singer” Limo Test Parking Lot

    “The Wedding Singer” Limo Test Parking Lot

    ‘ One location that fellow stalker Owen has been on the lookout for for what seems like years now is the parking lot where Robbie (aka Adam Sandler) and Julia (aka Drew Barrymore) tested Sammy’s (aka Allen Covert’s) limo driving skills in fave movie The Wedding Singer.  And I think I can safely say that…

  • Happy New Year!

    ‘ I would like to wish a very happy new year to all of my fellow stalkers!  Since today is being considered a holiday, I decided to take it off, too!  Come Wednesday, I will resume my regular postings.  As was the case last year, because I am writing for several other websites, I will…

  • The IHOP Restaurant from “Glee”

    The IHOP Restaurant from “Glee”

    ‘ As I have mentioned a few times in the past, I am a diabetic.   And in order to combat my currently out-of-whack blood sugars, I recently picked up Dr. Bernstein’s Diabetes Solution, a best-selling book which proposes a VERY low carbohydrate diet to maintain blood sugar control.  Which is a problem, because this stalker…

  • Lorraine’s House from “Back to the Future”

    Lorraine’s House from “Back to the Future”

    ‘ Back to the Future fans are undoubtedly looking at the photo above thinking, ‘That’s not Lorraine Baines’ (Lea Thompson) house!’  But the Craftsman I am standing in front of, located at 1705 Bushnell Avenue in South Pasadena, did actually serve as her 1955 pad in the movie.  Before the die hards get all up…

  • Henry’s Tacos from “People Like Us”

    Henry’s Tacos from “People Like Us”

    ‘ Last weekend, the Grim Cheaper and I finally decided to check out People Like Us.  And while I can’t say that I loved it (I am not big on depressing movies), it was an enjoyable watch and Chris Pine was, as always, oh-so-yummy.  And the flick was filmed in its entirety in Los Angeles,…

  • The Nite Owl Coffee Shop from “L.A. Confidential”

    The Nite Owl Coffee Shop from “L.A. Confidential”

    ‘ I have to apologize in advance for today’s post as it is going to be a short one.  My best friend came to visit me this weekend and we spent all of Friday, Saturday, and Sunday doing wedding planning which, unfortunately, left me with no time for blogging.  🙁  I promise to write a…

  • The “Yes, Dear” House

    The “Yes, Dear” House

    ‘ One show that I never really understood the appeal of is Yes, Dear.  My dad loved the sitcom, which ran from 2000 to 2006, and watched it regularly, but I always found the characters slightly unlikable and the storylines a bit ridiculous.  Nevertheless, when I received an email from a fellow stalker named Jeremy…

  • Bob’s Big Boy Broiler in Downey from “License to Drive”

    Bob’s Big Boy Broiler in Downey from “License to Drive”

    ‘ Hold onto your hats, my fellow stalkers, ‘cause today’s post is going to be a long one!  Another Bob’s Big Boy location that the Grim Cheaper and I stalked recently was the legendary Bob’s Big Boy Broiler, aka Johnie’s Broiler, located on Firestone Boulevard in Downey.  I had been longing to stalk the historic…
