  • The Blair House Inn from “Murder, She Wrote”

    The Blair House Inn from “Murder, She Wrote”

    ‘ Way back in August, I received an email from a fellow stalker named Jenny who wanted to know if I had ever stalked Mendocino’s Blair House Inn – a quaint little Victorian bed and breakfast better known as Jessica Fletcher’s (aka Angela Lansbury’s) residence on the long-running television series Murder, She Wrote.  And, amazingly…

  • Kate’s Apartment from “Picture Perfect”

    Kate’s Apartment from “Picture Perfect”

    ‘ I wish I could say I’ve never met a Jennifer Aniston movie I didn’t like, but that is not the case.  In fact, the opposite is more true – I’ve rarely met one I truly did enjoy.  Picture Perfect fits into the “didn’t like” category.  If you haven’t seen the film, this review Paul…

    The Complete Guide to the Season 1 Filming Locations of “Big Little Lies”

    ‘ As longtime readers know, I watch a LOT of TV.  Only a handful of shows have ever become full-fledged obsessions, though, Beverly Hills, 90210, The Hills, and Big Littles Lies among them.  The second season of the latter will finally be debuting in June and I am beyond excited!  I cannot wait to revisit…

    Taking Today and Tomorrow Off

    ‘ My dad had surgery yesterday (fingers crossed that this one will be successful!) and, because I am spending the next few days in the desert with him, I will not have any new blogs to post today or Thursday and, possibly, Friday. I do have a funny stalking anecdote to share, though – one…

  • “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…

  • San Francisco Saloon from “The Ugly Truth”

    San Francisco Saloon from “The Ugly Truth”

    ‘ Before we moved in together in 2008, the Grim Cheaper lived on the West Side of Los Angeles and, consequently, the two of us spent the majority of our time out there.  During those years, when driving back and forth from his condo, I would often pass by a bar named San Francisco Saloon. …

  • The Astor Place Starbucks

    The Astor Place Starbucks

    ‘ Two of my favorite things in the world (besides Jennifer Aniston, of course) are Starbucks coffee and Sex and the City. So it was only natural that I stalk the Starbucks featured in Sex and the City: The Movie while I was in New York a few weeks ago. 🙂 The Starbucks used in…

  • My Guide to L.A. – Hotels

    My Guide to L.A. – Hotels

    ‘ I am constantly told that I would make a great concierge for the city of Los Angeles.  I have explored L.A. so much over the years that I know it like the back of my hand and have accumulated a large inventory of favorite places.  I recently decided to corral that inventory into a…

  • The New York Yacht Club from “Hannah and Her Sisters”

    The New York Yacht Club from “Hannah and Her Sisters”

    ‘ While filming locations are, of course, my first love, I am all about discovering unique, off-the-beaten-path, non-Hollywood-related landmarks and hidden gems, as well (as evidenced here, here and here).  So my interest was immediately piqued when, shortly before my 2016 trip to the Big Apple, my friend/fellow stalker Owen, of the When Write Is…

  • The Silent Movie Theatre

    The Silent Movie Theatre

    ‘ I am very excited to announce that I recently started writing for the L.A. Tourism & Convention Board website, Discover Los Angeles.  I have done two posts for the site so far – one on iconic horror movie locations and another about area hotels that have been immortalized onscreen.  Before I was given my…
