The Second Peach Pit
‘ Two weekends ago, thanks to Mike from MovieShotsLA, I was able to stalk a location that I have long been on the lookout for – the storefront that was used as the second Peach Pit on the original Beverly Hills, 90210 series. Yes, I did say the “second” Peach Pit. As most fans of the series…

“The Exorcist” House and Stairs
‘ I’ve ventured down a deep, dark rabbit hole today, friends. I should back up and explain from the beginning. Last night, the Grim Cheaper and I watched The Exorcist for the first time. I had come across images of the stately brick house and adjacent towering staircase featured in the iconic 1973 horror flick…

Bow Bridge from “Glee”
‘ I have a thing for Central Park bridges. One of my favorite places in all of New York City – in all of the world, actually – is Gapstow Bridge. I’ve stalked it countless times, blogged about it, and honestly just cannot get enough of its bucolic beauty. Though I have walked pretty much…

Mr. Bones Pumpkin Patch . . . A Second Time
‘ This past weekend, I dragged the Grim Cheaper out to one of my all time favorite Halloween-themed stalking locations – Mr. Bones Pumpkin Patch in West Hollywood. The family owned and operated patch, which is located on a vacant plot of land on North Doheny Drive in between Keith and Harland Avenues, has been…

The Tonga Room & Hurricane Bar from "The Bachelor"
‘ This season of The Bachelor has been one for the record books! I don’t think there has ever been a prior season featuring so many crazy contestants – and for The Bachelor, that’s really saying something. Sure there are a few sane women in the bunch (Whitney, Carly and Becca), but for the most…

The Self-Realization Fellowship Lake Shrine Temple

Because Nat is a dedicated yogi,…

Trudi’s Apartment Building from “L.A. Story”
‘ Last month, when I published my post on the location of the iconic talking freeway sign from L.A. Story, a friend named David, whom I met in an acting class years ago, sent me a Facebook message letting me know that the unique, modern-style apartment building where Trudi (Marilu Henner) lived in the flick…

Big Oaks Lodge from “Beverly Hills, 90210”
‘ Before I left on my New York vacation just about two months ago, Mike, from MovieShotsLA, and I spent a day together stalking in and around the San Fernando Valley. And even though we had a long list of places to stalk, the location we were most excited about seeing had to be a…

Tom and Gisele’s Big Day
‘ Last Friday night while watching my new favorite show Talk Soup (why on earth I was not a regular watcher before is beyond me!!!!), a news flash splashed across my screen announcing that New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady had wed supermodel girlfriend Gisele Bundchen the previous evening. According to reports the hush-hush ceremony took place…

Zipper Concert Hall from “The West Wing”
‘ Most actors will tell you that extra work is the worst. But when I first landed in L.A. back in 2000, I did quite a bit of it and couldn’t have enjoyed myself more. Just being on a movie or television set was surreal and provided an indelible opportunity to observe the inner workings…
