  • The Fisher & Sons Funeral Home from “Six Feet Under”

    The Fisher & Sons Funeral Home from “Six Feet Under”

    ‘ One location that I stalked well over a year ago, but for whatever reason have yet to blog about, is the Victorian-style residence which stood in for the supposed North Hollywood-area Fisher & Sons (and later Fisher-Diaz) Funeral Home on the immensely popular HBO series Six Feet Under.  Amazingly enough, up until yesterday morning,…

  • Pershing Square Restaurant from “Friends with Benefits”

    Pershing Square Restaurant from “Friends with Benefits”

    ‘ Though most of my stalking adventures consist of copious amounts of time spent tracking down locations from movies and television shows and then heading out to see those sites in person, it does happen on occasion that a locale I have previously visited pops up unexpectedly in a production.  When this occurs, it thrills…

  • Phil’s Bar from “Little Black Book”

    Phil’s Bar from “Little Black Book”

    ‘ A couple of weeks ago, I got on a kick of tracking down locations from fave movie Little Black Book.  Now I should mention here, before I go any further, that the 2004 romantic comedy really isn’t all that good.  I can’t explain why I love it as much as I do, but I…

  • Elegant Manor

    Elegant Manor

    ‘ Because there’s nothing this stalker loves more than history and abandoned locations, my BFF Mike, from MovieShotsLA, once took me by a dilapidated old West Adams house known as Elegant Manor that has quite a backstory.  This was years ago, though, and, while I knew the place was a filming location (thanks to this…

  • Sorry To Do This Again . . .

    Sorry To Do This Again . . .

    ‘ Sorry to do this again, but I have to take another day off.  I have been burning the candle at both ends this week and, unfortunately, have not had much time for blogging.  I do promise to be back tomorrow, though (and this time I really mean it! ) with a whole new location!…

  • The “Wicked City” Library

    The “Wicked City” Library

    ‘ I have one more Wicked City location up my sleeve (for the time being, at least – I did track down a couple of others after watching the recently-released final five episodes, but have yet to stalk them) – the former Second Church of Christ, Scientist in West Adams, which masked as an L.A.…

  • Café Figaro from “Jerry Maguire”

    Café Figaro from “Jerry Maguire”

    ‘ Today’s post is a long time in the making.  Off and on for years now I have been trying to track down the restaurant where Jerry Maguire (Tom Cruise) got fired in the 1996 romcom of the same name.  I decided to actively revisit the search a couple of weeks ago and, this time,…

  • Lorraine’s House from “Back to the Future”

    Lorraine’s House from “Back to the Future”

    ‘ Back to the Future fans are undoubtedly looking at the photo above thinking, ‘That’s not Lorraine Baines’ (Lea Thompson) house!’  But the Craftsman I am standing in front of, located at 1705 Bushnell Avenue in South Pasadena, did actually serve as her 1955 pad in the movie.  Before the die hards get all up…

  • Another Day of Slacking Off!

    Another Day of Slacking Off!

    ‘ Sorry to do this yet again, but I am taking today off.  I spent all weekend, including Friday, in the Desert helping my parents unpack and unfortunately did not have time to write a blog post.  I will be back tomorrow, though, with a whole new location, so until next time . . .…

  • Teri Hatcher’s Red Carpet Charity Yard Sale

    Teri Hatcher’s Red Carpet Charity Yard Sale

    ‘ This past Sunday morning, Miss Pinky Lovejoy, from the Thinking Pink blog, called me up to let me know that she had just found out about a celebrity fundraising event in Santa Monica that was being hosted by actress Teri Hatcher.  So, much to the Grim Cheaper’s chagrin, I immediately hopped right out of…
