Orange Army-Navy from “That Thing You Do!”

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

A Day Off For Decorating . . . Fa La La La La La La La La!

Art’s Delicatessen & Restaurant from “Beverly Hills, 90210: Exposed!”
‘ They say you should always listen to your mother. It’s good advice. Case in point – about a decade ago, while stalking in Studio City, my mom, my dad, the Grim Cheaper and I passed by Art’s Delicatessen & Restaurant on Ventura Boulevard and decided to pop in for a bite. During our meal,…

Miami-Dade-Hawthorne-California Police Department
‘ My favorite is and I was absolutely obsessed with finding the location used as the Miami-Dade police department.
