Moonlight Rollerway- The Roller Skating Rink from “Glee”
‘ One location that I have been dying to stalk for months now is Rinky Dinks, the cabaret/roller rink owned by April Rhodes (aka Kristin Chenoweth) in the Season 1 episode of Glee titled “Home”. On a quick Glee side note, I just have to say that I was not at all happy with last…

The “Empty Nest” House
‘ Today’s post is a looooooong-time coming, friends! Easily the location I get asked to track down most often is the supposed Miami, Florida-area house where Dr. Harry Weston (Richard Mulligan) lived on the television series Empty Nest. I have searched for the contemporary two-story residence off-and-on over the years, but never had any luck. …

18th Street Coffee House from “Modern Family”
‘ As I have said countless times before on this blog, there’s pretty much nothing I love more than a filming location that serves coffee.

The Tam O’Shanter Inn from “Glee”
‘ A couple of weeks ago I dragged my fiancé out to stalk the Tam O’Shanter Inn which appeared in the Season 1 episode of Glee titled “Dream On”.

The Stage from “Big Little Lies’
‘ So far I am unimpressed with the locations featured in Big Little Lies’ second season. During the HBO series’ first go-round, not only were the locales fantastic, but they were showcased to such an incredible extent that they pretty much overshadowed everything else – but in the best way possible! Despite the drama and…

The John Ferraro Building
‘ I was recently interviewed for an exciting new project (more details to come) and in my talks with producers beforehand was asked if I had any ideas about where the interview could take place. They were hoping to meet up at a filming location that I felt best represented the spirt of L.A. I…

Voletta Wallace’s House from “Unsolved: The Murders of Tupac & the Notorious B.I.G.”
‘ I have never been a fan of rap. My musical tastes tend to run far more tepid (read: Michael Bublé, Michael Jackson, Britney Spears, and ‘80s pop). The Grim Cheaper likes to joke that my iPod song list hasn’t been updated since I first got the device back in 2001. Regardless, when I heard…
