  • Los Angeles County Hall of Records

    Los Angeles County Hall of Records

    ‘ Today’s location is a serious fail on my part.  For a couple of years now, I have had the Los Angeles County Hall of Records on my Haunted Hollywood To-Stalk list, not due to its filming history, but because I mistakenly thought the building was where Marilyn Monroe’s autopsy was performed in 1962.  I…

  • Aria’s House from “Pretty Little Liars”

    Aria’s House from “Pretty Little Liars”

    ‘ I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again – stalking begets stalking!  One of the Vancouver locations I was most interested in finding from the Pretty Little Liars pilot was the gorgeous Craftsman-style house where doe-eyed beauty Aria Montgomery (Lucy Hale) lived.  There was virtually nothing to go on, though – no address…

  • A Day Off . . . Again!

    A Day Off . . . Again!

    ‘ Spent the entire day yesterday running errands and taking care of household stuff again, so I did not have time to write a new post.  I will be back tomorrow, though, with a whole new location! Until next time, Happy Stalking! ‘

  • Michael’s House from “The Wonder Years”

    Michael’s House from “The Wonder Years”

    ‘ UPDATE – The Wonder Years is coming to DVD for the first time ever in October!  The 26-disc boxed set includes all six seasons of the show, plus a cast reunion segment, over 15 hours of bonus footage, a collectible metal locker, two production booklets packed with behind-the-scenes information, a replica yearbook, and Wonder Years…

  • The Former Site of the “Doogie Howser, M.D.” House

    The Former Site of the “Doogie Howser, M.D.” House

    ‘ This past (dismal and dreary) Sunday afternoon, after stalking the Jack & Jill house, which I blogged about on Tuesday, I dragged the Grim Cheaper a few blocks south to stalk a location that I had been wanting to see in person for years – the Howser residence, where teenage prodigy Dr. Doogie Howser…

  • My Guide to L.A. – Play

    My Guide to L.A. – Play

    ‘ I originally had more than twenty places featured on this list, but, to make it easier on myself, I decided to break up my Things To Do category into “Play” and “See.”  Today, I’ll be covering Play, aka Los Angeles activities and attractions that I recommend.  Enjoy! 1. Disneyland (1313 Disneyland Drive, Anaheim) –…

  • Emmys 2013

    Emmys 2013

    ‘ I spent this past weekend in L.A. enjoying a whirlwind of activities including the bridal shower for Miss Pinky Lovejoy, of the Thinking Pink blog, some pre-Emmy parties and the 2013 Emmy Awards.  And while I had a blast, I did not get home until late last night and therefore did not have time…

  • The Pasadena Main Branch of Bank of the West from “Falcon Crest”

    The Pasadena Main Branch of Bank of the West from “Falcon Crest”

    ‘ For years now, I have been trying to track down the bank where Terry Dolittle (Whoopi Goldberg) worked in the 1986 comedy Jumpin’ Jack Flash.  It is one of those locations that always sits fixed at the back of my mind, images of it constantly floating around in my head.  So when I came…

  • Marilyn Monroe’s Childhood Home

    Marilyn Monroe’s Childhood Home

    ‘ One location that had been on my To-Stalk list for what seemed like ages was the Hawthorne-area home where my girl Miss Marilyn Monroe spent the first eight-and-a-half years of her life.  Fellow stalker Lavonna had texted me the address years ago, but because I so rarely find myself in that neck of the…

  • Carmine’s II Restaurant from “Modern Family”

    Carmine’s II Restaurant from “Modern Family”

    ‘ This past Saturday night, I dragged the Grim Cheaper out to stalk a historic restaurant named Carmine’s II, which was featured prominently in the recently-aired Season 2 episode of Modern Family titled “Boys’ Night”.  Carmine’s has been a virtual West-L.A.-institution for almost four decades now, having originally been founded in 1972 by New York…
