    New “L.A.” Mag Post – About The Donut Hole

    ‘ Don’t forget to read this week’s post for L.A.mag.com today, about The Donut Hole from Moving Violations.  My articles typically get published in the late morning/early afternoon hours. ‘

  • Mitch’s New York Condo from “The Morning Show”

    Mitch’s New York Condo from “The Morning Show”

    ‘ It’s been a minute (literally) since I’ve blogged about a location from The Morning Show, but, don’t worry, I’ve still got a few more up my sleeve – namely the modern building that served as beleaguered television host Mitch Kessler’s (Steve Carell) New York pied-à-terre.  I had a hunch that the property was most…

  • Blue Blues Café from “Big Little Lies”

    Blue Blues Café from “Big Little Lies”

    ‘ Two episodes in to the latest season of Big Little Lies and I am still missing Blue Blues, the café that figured so prominently in Season 1.  As the Huffington Post recently stated, the loss has left a “Venti cappuccino-sized hole” in my heart.  So I figured it was only proper to devote a…

  • The “Whatever It Takes” Houses

    The “Whatever It Takes” Houses

    ‘ I am all about teen comedies, even admittedly bad ones.  Drive Me Crazy is one of my favorite movies ever, I loved all of the Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen destination flicks, and Get Over It cracks me up every time I watch, even though I’ve seen it repeatedly.  So I was shocked when…

  • The Adamson House

    The Adamson House

    ‘ I spent all last week on the hunt for a location from my fave 90s TV show Beverly Hills, 90210.  The spot I was looking for was the location that stood in for Baja, Mexico in the Season 2 episode entitled “Mexican Standoff”.  In the episode, Brenda sneaks off to a Mexican resort town for the weekend with Dylan without telling…

  • The “Mama’s Family” Houses

    The “Mama’s Family” Houses

    ‘ I have dreamed of writing this post for so long!  One of the locations I get asked about the most (I literally get emails and comments about it all the time!) is the house that portrayed Thelma Harper’s (Vicki Lawrence) residence during the first two seasons of Mama’s Family.  For those who aren’t familiar…

  • Bowfinger International Pictures from “Bowfinger”

    Bowfinger International Pictures from “Bowfinger”

    ‘ I am a sucker for any movie about Los Angeles.  Coincidentally (or perhaps no so coincidentally), Steve Martin has written and starred in two of my favorites – L.A. Story and Bowfinger.  Two completely different takes on life in LaLaLand, but both equally valid and poignant.  Because I originally moved to Southern California to…

  • Disneyland!

    Disneyland!

    ‘ This stalker had a pretty amazing, but exhausting weekend (which included a fabulous trip to Disneyland – as well as a special preview of Cars Land – with my girl Miss Pinky Lovejoy, from the Thinking Pink blog) and I was unfortunately not able to get a blog done for today.  But I will…

  • Lillian and Sam’s House from “People Like Us”

    Lillian and Sam’s House from “People Like Us”

    ‘ After I tracked down Frankie (Elizabeth Banks) and Josh’s (Michael Hall D’Addario’s) house from 2012’s People Like Us (which I blogged about on Friday), the next item on my To-Search-For list was the gorgeous Craftsman-style abode where Lillian Harper (Michelle Pfeiffer) and her son, Sam Harper (Chris Pine), lived in the flick.  Thankfully, this…
