    The New Wilson House on 90210

    ‘ I can’t even believe I am about to say what I am about to say, but ever since watching Tuesday night’s season premiere, I am absolutely, one hundred percent hooked on the new 90210.  While the first season of the show left much to be desired, this past week’s episode was nothing short of…

    Krotona Apartments

    ‘ I have always maintained that I am an equal opportunity stalker.  It is not just filming locations that enthrall me, but pop culture landmarks, historical sites, and architectural curiosities.  In fact, the curiouser the better.  So when I came across a grouping of grandiose Moorish-style structures dotted throughout a small section of the Hollywood…

  • The Golden Girls House

    The Golden Girls House

    ‘ This past weekend, thanks to fellow stalker Owen, I was able to stalk the home used in one of my favorite ‘”‘”’80s TV shows – The Golden Girls.   Being that I was only eight years old at the time The Golden Girls premiered, I probably seem like a very unlikely fan of the show.  But, for some reason,…

    Catherine Willows’ House from “CSI: Crime Scene Investigation”

    ‘ I’ll never forget the first time I saw CSI: Crime Scene Investigation.  It was back in 2003 and my parents had come home from a random stop at the video store (remember those?) with a DVD of the series’ inaugural season in hand.  I had not heard of the show at the time and…
