Fog City Diner from “So I Married an Axe Murderer”
‘ I abhor change, as longtime readers of this site well know.

The Win A Date With Tad Hamilton Grocery Store
‘ One movie location that I have wanted to stalk for what seems like forever is the L.A. area grocery store that stood in for the Fraziers Bottom Piggly Wiggly Supermarket in fave romantic comedy Win A Date With Tad Hamilton. Josh Duhamel! Sigh! 🙂 I was so obsessed with finding this location, in fact, that a…
