  • The Seven Year Itch Apartment

    The Seven Year Itch Apartment

    ‘ In October 2008 cover story, photographer Mark Anderson asks “Who ever forgets the first time they saw Marilyn Monroe?” Such a great quote! I remember exactly where I was the first time I saw Miss Monroe – sitting in my apartment watching just a few short months ago. As soon as I watched the…

    Cafe-Club Fais Do-Do

    ‘ Back before she was going shoeless in public restrooms and flashing her privates to anyone with a camera, I was majorly obsessed with pop princess Britney Spears.  The hair, the cute little outfits, her music – I absolutely loved everything about the girl!    I attended her 2001 Live From Las Vegas  concert event, I…

  • Home Restaurant from “Raines”

    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…

    Huntington Beach Central Library and Cultural Center from “Rosewood”

    ‘ I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again – stalking begets stalking.  While out and about sightseeing filming locales in Orange County last month, the Grim Cheaper and I struck up a conversation with a friendly local couple who informed us that fave show Rosewood (well, it was a fave show until it…

  • The “Christmas Vacation” Pool

    The “Christmas Vacation” Pool

    ‘ Another Christmas-themed locale that I had long wanted to track down and stalk was Clark W. Griswold’s (Chevy Chase’s) dream pool from the 1989 classic Christmas Vacation.  (Is it odd, by the way, that I can still remember exactly where I was and who I was with the first time I saw the flick…

  • The “License to Drive” Hospital

    The “License to Drive” Hospital

    ‘ A couple of weeks ago, the Grim Cheaper and I headed to L.A. for a brief visit and just happened to book a hotel on the west side of town for our stay.  The location turned out to be quite fortuitous, too, as it allowed me to stalk a few nearby spots that had…

  • Stu’s House from “The Hangover”

    Stu’s House from “The Hangover”

    ‘ One location that I have been on the lookout for for over a year now is the adorable bungalow where Stu Price (aka Ed Helms) and his girlfriend Melissa (aka Rachael Harris) lived in fave movie The Hangover.  I absolutely fell in love with Stu’s home the moment I saw it in the flick…

  • St. Elizabeths Hospital from “A Few Good Men”

    St. Elizabeths Hospital from “A Few Good Men”

    ‘ We all know the scene – a nervous Lt. Cdr. JoAnne Galloway (Demi Moore) briskly walks across a grassy field toward the Judge Advocate General’s Corps, while, behind her, a large U.S. Marine band playing a rousing rendition of “Semper Fidelis” marches in formation and a Silent Drill Platoon performs an enthralling and precisely-timed…

  • Jessica’s House from “Crazy, Stupid, Love.”

    Jessica’s House from “Crazy, Stupid, Love.”

    ‘ Another Crazy, Stupid, Love. location that I stalked recently was the residence where the Riley family – babysitter Jessica (aka Analeigh Tipton) and her parents, Bernie (aka John Carroll Lynch) and Claire (aka Beth Littleford) – lived.  And I just have to say here that now that the flick has been released on DVD,…
