    Weatherwolde Castle

    ‘ It is not everyday one comes across a mention of a random castle located on a sleepy residential street in Los Angeles.  So when I found out about Weatherwolde Castle in Tujunga thanks to this page on the Dupont Castle website a couple of summers ago, I took immediate note and started researching further. …

    Alfred Hitchcock’s House from “Hitchcock”

    ‘ Hold on to your hats, my fellow stalkers, ‘cause today’s post is going to be a long one!  A couple of months ago, Mike, from MovieShotsLA, called me up to let me know that he had just watched a screener of the 2012 biopic Hitchcock (he works at a high-profile production company) and, knowing…

  • Live Oak Canyon Pumpkin Patch

    Live Oak Canyon Pumpkin Patch

    ‘ I thought I would break away from tradition today by blogging about a place that has no celebrity or film connection – Live Oak Canyon Pumpkin Patch, which is without a doubt the BEST pumpkin patch I have ever been to in my life!  I may be breaking from the norm more often in…

  • The Old Place from “Scorpion”

    The Old Place from “Scorpion”

    ‘ There are some spots in L.A. that I miss more than others.  The Old Place pretty much tops that list.  I first stalked the rustic eatery, tucked away on a forested road in the picturesque mountain town of Cornell, in 2011 and was immediately smitten.  Because the restaurant is only open Thursday through Sunday…

  • Taking the Week Off!

    Taking the Week Off!

    ‘ I will be spending the upcoming week in the Desert visiting my parents, so I will be taking the next five days off from blogging.  But I did have a fabulous pre-Oscar week during which I finally got a picture with my “unicorn”, Miss Kristin Cavallari, who, I am very happy to report, was…

  • The Johnson Inn Restaurant from “Beautiful Girls”

    The Johnson Inn Restaurant from “Beautiful Girls”

    ‘ The other Beautiful Girls location that I was most excited about stalking (second only to the main houses used in the movie, of course), while in Minnesota two weeks ago, was the Johnson Inn – the local “Knight’s Ridge, Massachusetts” watering hole where Willie Conway (aka Timothy Hutton), Tommy “Birdman” Rowland (aka Matt Dillon),…

    Pickwick’s Pub from “The Office”

    ‘ This past weekend, I dragged my husband (that is SO weird to say!) out to stalk Pickwick’s Pub – the Woodland Hills watering hole that stands in for the Dunder Mifflin gang’s favorite local hangout, Poor Richard’s Pub, on fave show The Office.  And while there is actually a real life Poor Richard’s Pub…

    Pasadena’s “Big Bang Theory” Way Sign

    ‘ God is in the details, as they say.  And it truly is the details, aka the little things, that I miss about living in L.A.  For example, while perusing Instagram recently, I came across an image posted by amylove33 of a street sign in Old Town Pasadena reading “Big Bang Theory Way.”  I was,…
