    The Los Angeles Marriott Burbank Airport Hotel from “The Office”

    ‘ I typically have the memory of an elephant, but up until the Grim Cheaper and I recently started re-watching The Office over again from the beginning, I had honestly forgotten what a great show it is.  I had also forgotten that several locations from it remain unknown and/or undocumented.  One that I recognized immediately…

    Martin’s Tavern – Where JFK Proposed to Jackie
