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…

Going to the Emmys!
‘ I unfortunately do not have a new blog to post for today as I spent all weekend, from Thursday night on, getting ready to go to the 63rd Primetime Emmy Awards and doing some stalking of a few of the event’s pre-parties. Yes, you read that right – I am going to the Emmys!! …

The Best Place to View the Hollywood Sign!
‘ There is one site in Los Angeles that I absolutely never get tired of, no matter how many times I see it. Even though I can now officially call myself a native Angeleno, I am not ashamed to admit that I still get a little jolt of butterflies in my stomach every time I…

The McCullough Residence from “Little Fires Everywhere”
‘ I knew I would love Little Fires Everywhere long before it premiered. One look at the trailer had me drooling! A confounding mystery at its center, Reese Witherspoon at the helm, a setting that is almost a character, and two of my favorite cuties, Joshua Jackson and Geoff Stults, in lead roles. What’s not…

The Little Door Restaurant from “Monster-in-Law”
‘ One restaurant that I have long wanted to stalk, but could just never seem to find was the adorable little outdoor courtyard spot where Kevin Fields (aka Michael Vartan), his mother, Viola Fields (aka Jane Fonda), and his new fiancé, Charlie Cantilini (aka Jennifer Lopez), lunched towards the end of the 2005 romantic comedy…
