    The “Sylvester Stallone” House from “Pretty Woman”

    ‘ A couple of weeks ago, while trying to figure out in what movie I had spotted L’Orangerie, aka Chez Quis restaurant from Ferris Bueller’s Day Off (which, maddeningly, I still have yet to determine, by the way!), I started scanning through the 1990 romantic comedy Pretty Woman and found myself wondering why I had…

    The Former BaBalu Lounge – Where Michael Buble Got His Start

    ‘ Another Michael Buble location that I found thanks to the book Michael Buble: The Biography, by Juliet Peel was BaBalu Lounge, the Downtown Vancouver nightclub where the cutie crooner performed regularly for two years before becoming famous.  And, let me tell you, once I heard about it, I became pretty hell-bent on the idea…

  • “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” Christmas House

    “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” Christmas House

    ‘ It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas – well, as much as it can in SoCal – which means it’s time to start posting holiday locales!  I’m kicking off the season with the pad that portrayed the Banks family residence in the Season 1 Yuletide-themed episode of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air titled…

  • Mountain View Mausoleum from “Lucifer”

    Mountain View Mausoleum from “Lucifer”

    ‘ Given my proclivity for graveyards and extensive knowledge of Los Angeles (especially the Pasadena area), it is shocking that I only learned of Altadena’s Mountain View Mausoleum a few months ago.  Sure I’ve visited the neighboring Mountain View Cemetery numerous times and even dedicated a post to it, but somehow I never knew about…

  • The “Last Man Standing” House

    The “Last Man Standing” House

    ‘ The Grim Cheaper and I watch a lot of TV.  Like a lot.  So I am always surprised when I receive an email from a reader asking about a location from a show I am not familiar with.  Such was the case in January, when fellow stalker Marjorie reached out to ask for my…

    A “Nancy Drew and the Hidden Staircase” Giveaway!

    ‘ UPDATE – This giveaway has ended.  Congratulations to winner Sandy A.! ***Warner Bros. provided me with a free copy of Nancy Drew and the Hidden Staircase on Blu-ray to facilitate this giveaway.  The opinions I share are my own.*** Nancy Drew and the Hidden Staircase is heading home on Digital March 26, 2019 and…

  • The Waterfront Beach Resort from “Rosewood”

    The Waterfront Beach Resort from “Rosewood”

    ‘ It is such a shame when a favorite show jumps the shark.  If its latest episode, titled “Amparo & the American Dream,” is any indication, that fate seems to have befallen Rosewood, the FOX procedural currently in its second season.  While I was all in with the recent storyline centering around Captain Ryan Slade…

  • “The Seventh Sign” House

    “The Seventh Sign” House

    ‘ NOTE – This blog was supposed to post yesterday, but somehow did not, so it looks like I am a day late and a dollar short.  Sorry about that!  I would like to start off by wishing my fellow stalkers a very HAPPY HALLOWEEN!  I hope all of you have a fabulously spook-filled day. …

  • The “What Women Want” Coffee Shop

    The “What Women Want” Coffee Shop

    ‘ “If I ever go looking for my heart’s desire again, I won’t look any further than my own backyard.”  So says Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz.  I should have heeded her advice because for years I have been searching for the coffee shop from the 2000 comedy What Women Want and as it…

  • The Arts District Firehouse Hotel from “ER”

    The Arts District Firehouse Hotel from “ER”

    ‘ The Grim Cheaper likes to say that I fixate on the silliest of things.  I typically scoff at the notion, but he’s 100% right.  Case in point – a few months back favorite blogger Emily Schuman, of Cupcakes and Cashmere, did a photo shoot at the Arts District Firehouse Hotel, a stylish fire-station-turned-lodging in…
