  • Callahan’s Diner from “Zodiac”

    Callahan’s Diner from “Zodiac”

    ‘ In the early years of our relationship the Grim Cheaper lived in Santa Monica, just a few blocks from a local staple named Callahan’s Diner.  Even though I knew the eatery was a filming location and supposedly served up some fabulous grub, for whatever reason we never ventured in for a meal.  I am…

  • The Closer Duplex

    The Closer Duplex

    ‘ As I have mentioned before, I am a huge fan of TNT’”‘”‘s crime series The Closer.  As is my whole family, actually.  So, a few weeks ago when my mom challenged me to locate Brenda and Fritz’”‘”‘s duplex apartment building from the series, I accepted the challenge!  🙂  And it didn’”‘”‘t take me long to find it at…

  • The Former Site of the “Eight Is Enough” House

    The Former Site of the “Eight Is Enough” House

    ‘ One of my biggest filming location pet peeves is when an unfound spot from an old movie or television show is explained away as having been demolished without any evidence to support that allegation.  Like Whitney Houston, I wanna see the receipts!  So when I recently came across an Eight Is Enough message board…

  • Judy’s House from “Bridesmaids”

    Judy’s House from “Bridesmaids”

    ‘ The one location from Bridesmaids that I was most determined to track down – the one that I would not stop bugging poor Mike, from MovieShotsLA, about – was the yellow ranch-style dwelling where Annie’s (Kristen Wigg’s) mom, Judy (Jill Clayburgh, who was ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE in the role, which was, sadly, her last), lived…

  • The Fine Arts Building from “The Morning Show”

    The Fine Arts Building from “The Morning Show”

    ‘ Considering I’ve been at this crazy hobby of mine for twenty years now, you’d think I’d have stalked every square inch of Los Angeles.  While watching the second episode of The Morning Show, though, I was reminded of a site I had yet to set foot in – downtown’s Fine Arts Building.  I’d heard…

  • The Central Park Boathouse Cafe

    The Central Park Boathouse Cafe

    ‘ One of the locations that I was most excited about stalking while in New York last month was a little restaurant named the Central Park Boathouse Cafe, also known as the Loeb Boathouse.  And although I’ve stalked this location once before – and even blogged about it – because the restaurant is not open…

  • The River Oasis Cafe from “Beautiful Girls”

    The River Oasis Cafe from “Beautiful Girls”

    ‘ Another Stillwater, Minnesota location that my family and I stalked last week was the River Oasis Cafe from fave movie Beautiful Girls.  And I’m really hoping that my fellow stalkers are not yet sick of reading about Beautiful Girls locations, ‘cause there are still quite a few of them that I’ve yet to blog…

  • The “Pacific Heights” House

    The “Pacific Heights” House

    ‘ I have been waiting for this day for months!  Yep, that’s right folks – it is finally, finally time for my annual Haunted Hollywood postings and I could not be more excited!  In honor of the occasion, I have added a Haunted Hollywood category to my site and while I typically only publish three…

  • The Blast from the Past Strip Mall

    The Blast from the Past Strip Mall

    ‘ Since I was in the area this past week stalking a wedding venue, I decided to pay a little visit to the strip mall featured in fave romantic comedy Blast from the Past.  In the flick, which opens up in the year 1962, a nuclear-war-fearing Christopher Walken builds a massive fallout shelter for his wife…

  • The “Father of the Bride” Churches

    The “Father of the Bride” Churches

    ‘ One location that I have wanted to stalk for what seems like years now is the church where Annie Banks married Bryan MacKenzie in my all time favorite wedding movie, the 1991 classic Father of the Bride.  But, according to IMDB, two different locations actually stood in for Annie’”‘”‘s wedding church in the film – one…
