  • Peter and Elizabeth’s House from “White Collar”

    Peter and Elizabeth’s House from “White Collar”

    ‘ The Grim Cheaper and I have yet to watch the final season of White Collar, despite the fact that it aired almost a full two years ago.  We became hooked on the USA series back in 2011 after I attended a screening/Q&A with the cast – so hooked that we were devastated when its…

  • Porter’s Stowaway Tavern from “Revenge”

    Porter’s Stowaway Tavern from “Revenge”

    ‘ The Grim Cheaper and I recently became obsessed with Revenge.  We randomly started watching the ABC series on Netflix one night in early September and could NOT stop.  For the next three weeks, the two of us obsessively binge-watched episodes, to the extent that I’m kind of surprised no one staged an intervention.  We…

  • The “Big” School

    The “Big” School

    ‘ Located just around the corner from the two main houses used in the movie Big is Cliffside Park Elementary School #6 – the elementary school attended by Josh Baskin (aka Tom Hanks) and his best friend Billy (aka Jared Rushton) in the 1988 flick.  So, since we were already in the area, Owen, my fiancé,…

  • Grease is the Word!

    Grease is the Word!

    ‘ Grease has long been a favorite movie of mine, ever since I was a little girl, actually. I still have pictures of my friend Nat and I at eight years old dressed up in her mom’”‘”‘s wigs and 50s clothes acting out scenes from Grease in front of the TV. One of our favorite…

  • Julian Café & Bakery from “Phantasm”

    Julian Café & Bakery from “Phantasm”

    ‘ I am not at all a fan of the 1979 movie Phantasm, though you’d never guess it judging by the amount of posts I’ve done on its locations (you can read them here, here, here, here and here).  What can I say?  Crappy film, fabulous locales!  Ever since I first saw the flick last…

  • Hilton Garden Inn Arcadia from “Veep”

    Hilton Garden Inn Arcadia from “Veep”

    ‘ It has been said that everyone has their own special superpower.  I don’t know if that is true or not, but if so, mine is definitely my brain’s ability to take note of small, seemingly insignificant and rather trivial details, and commit them to memory, completely of its own volition.  Case in point –…

  • Lauren’s House – Part Two (Or Should I Say Les Deux)

    Lauren’s House – Part Two (Or Should I Say Les Deux)

    ‘ At the risk of becoming a stalking site solely about The Hills, I just had to share my pics from visiting LC’”‘”‘s house this weekend. Conveniently, Lauren’”‘”‘s new pad is located only half a mile from Speidi’”‘”‘s apartment building on the cutest street in the world! 🙂 Her house is gorgeous in person –…

  • The Wormwood Home from “Matilda”

    The Wormwood Home from “Matilda”

    ‘ Every time I open up Instagram lately I’m inundated with videos of the so-called “Matilda Challenge.”  For those whose feeds haven’t been flooded by the clips, in the challenge fans of the 1996 film re-create this scene in which Matilda Wormwood (Mara Wilson) perfects her magic powers.  Though I’ve never seen the movie (or…

  • Bob Hope’s Palm Springs House

    Bob Hope’s Palm Springs House

    ‘ While in Palm Springs this past weekend, I dragged my boyfriend – ahem, fiance (I swear, I’”‘”‘m never going to get used to saying that!) out to stalk Bob Hope’”‘”‘s former residence, which is located high up on a cliff at the very top of Southridge Drive.  I wasn’”‘”‘t so much interested in seeing the…

  • The Former Menendez Family Home

    The Former Menendez Family Home

    ‘ Just around the corner from Vincente Minnelli’s former abandoned mansion (which I blogged about yesterday) is the palatial Elm Drive residence where on August 20th, 1989, brothers Lyle and Erik Menendez (then 22- and 19-years-old, respectively) shot and killed their parents, entertainment company executive Jose and housewife Mary Louise, aka “Kitty.”  (I honestly cannot…
