The Safari Inn from “True Romance”
‘ One oft-filmed-at locale that I had known about for ages, but had never gotten around to stalking was the historic Safari Inn on West Olive Avenue in Burbank. I had driven by the motel countless times over the years – I get my hair done right across the street, in fact – and, even…

Billy’s Bakery
‘ At the risk of looking like a total and complete dork (not to mention a fool!), I thought I’”‘”‘d post some pretty idiotic photographs that I took on my very first trip to New York. At the time I was completely obsessed with Katie Holmes. This was in December of 2005, in the pre-Suri…

The New Peach Pit
‘ Over the years there have been several locations used around LA for the filming of the Peach Pit on my fave TV show, Beverly Hills, 90210. And now there is one more location to add to the already long list. My buddy Mike over at MovieShotsLA gave me the scoop on last week’”‘”‘s filming…

The Chaplin Court Apartment Complex
‘ While doing research on the Sierra Bonita apartments from the 2001 thriller Mulholland Drive, which I blogged about back in October, I came across a mention of an absolutely adorable courtyard apartment complex in Hollywood about which legends abound. The complex is known by quite a few different monikers across the web, including Chaplin…

Dr. Daniel Pierce’s House from “Perception”
‘ For nearly two years now, I have been on the hunt for the house where Dr. Daniel Pierce (Eric McCormack) lives with his long-suffering assistant, Max Lewicki (Arjay Smith), on the TNT series Perception. Due to the fact that the residence is typically only ever shown at night in rather tight establishing shots, with…

The Girl Next Door Houses
‘ Located just a block away from the Beethoven house, which I blogged about yesterday, are the two main homes used in the 2004 movie The Girl Next Door. Mike, from MovieShotsLA, took me by this location on the same day that we stalked the Beethoven house a few months back. And, even though I…

Citizens Bank Building from “The Sting”
‘ Upon landing my new gig writing for Los Angeles magazine’s CityThink blog, I comprised a list of iconic SoCal locales to spotlight in my weekly column, one of which was the Santa Monica Pier Carousel from 1973’s The Sting. The only problem was that I had never actually seen The Sting. Neither had the…

Bean Town from “Big Little Lies”
‘ Big Little Lies sure made use of Sierra Madre this season (in case you missed my other posts on the city’s BLL appearances, you can check them out here, here and here). And it is not very hard to see why. The San Gabriel Valley town, situated just east of Pasadena, is charming, picturesque…

The Reichman Mansion from “Major Crimes”
‘ The weather in L.A. has finally turned and there is now a crispness in the air ensuring that jacket season is finally upon us. It is also, unfortunately, time to bid adieu to this year’s Haunted Hollywood postings. Sadness! For the next eleven months, I will just be writing about regular ol’ stalking locations. …

Where You Are Almost Guaranteed A Britney Sighting!
‘ Ever since she shimmied down a hallway in her video (which was filmed entirely at Venice High School, by the way) I have been obsessed with BritBrit. I can’”‘”‘t tell you how many times I have dressed up as Britney for Halloween! And I was even an extra in the Britney Spears movie! Nowadays Britney…
