Laverne & Shirley’s Apartment Building
‘ Back in August of last year, fellow stalker Don emailed me to inquire if I knew the location of the supposed Burbank-area apartment building where best friends Laverne DeFazio (aka Penny Marshall) and Shirley Feeney (aka Cindy Williams) lived during the final three seasons of the hit 1970’s television series Laverne & Shirley. Sadly,…

New York’s Paley Park
‘ New York has no shortage of “secret” places. I blogged about one – Grand Central’s Whispering Gallery – on Friday. Another that the Grim Cheaper and I are fond of is Paley Park, located in NYC’s Midtown East neighborhood. We happened by the site while wandering along 53rd Street during our very first visit…

Madeline’s Real Estate Office from “Big Little Lies”
‘ I try to keep things positive on this blog, but, man, Sunday night’s Big Little Lies finale was an epic disappointment! The entire season was hugely lackluster, truth be told, which is especially frustrating considering the outright perfection of Season 1. I will contend that the first few episodes started out semi-promising, but the…

The Incorrectly Identified “Leave It to Beaver” House
‘ Last week, the latest issue of Los Angeles Magazine arrived in my mailbox and I, of course, tore the thing right open and devoured it in one sitting, as I do pretty much every month.

The Queen Mary Observation Bar from “He’s Just Not That Into You”

Case in point – while scanning through Adaptation to make screen captures for my post on Zipper Concert Hall last week, I…

Happy Veterans Day!
‘ I would like to wish a very Happy Veterans Day to all of my fellow stalkers and I would also like to say a heartfelt thank you to all of those who have served our military, including the vast majority of my family members. I will be taking today off in honor of Veterans…

Bun ‘N Burger Restaurant from “An American Summer”
‘ I must apologize in advance for today’s fairly short blog post as I just got back from spending pretty much the entire day (over seven hours – not kidding!) on the set of CSI: Miami yet again. And while I promise to write a detailed post about my experiences there in the very near…

Home Restaurant from “Raines”
‘ Every once in a while a show comes along that immediately hooks me. Such was the case with Raines, an extremely short-lived police procedural boasting a scant seven-episode run. I was unaware of the NBC series at the time of its original airing in March 2007. In fact, I only learned of it this…

Becky Bloomwood Takes on the El Capitan!
‘ I have long been obsessed with the “Confessions of a Shopaholic” book series authored by British novelist Sophie Kinsella (aka Madeline Wickham). So obsessed in fact that about five years ago when I heard that Hollywood was optioning a screenplay based on the novels, I wrote to Sophie pitching myself for the movie’”‘”‘s lead role. I must say that I…

New “L.A.” Mag Post – About Phil’s Halloween Open House from “Modern Family”
‘ Be sure to read today’s Scene It Before post for Los Angeles magazine – about Phil’s Halloween open house from Modern Family. My columns typically get published in the late morning/early afternoon hours. ‘
