  • Woody’s Boathouse Restaurant from “Vanderpump Rules”

    Woody’s Boathouse Restaurant from “Vanderpump Rules”

    ‘ I had high hopes for a lot of rest, relaxation, and reading during my recent trip to Lake Arrowhead.  I wound up doing little else besides shopping and some Vanderpump Rules stalking, though, which, hey, I’m not gonna complain about!  One site I did not pinpoint the exact location of prior to actually setting…

  • Hollywood Diner from “Sleepless in Seattle”

    Hollywood Diner from “Sleepless in Seattle”

    ‘ Another day, another diner from a Meg Ryan movie!  Unlike the Port Café, the Wilmington, California eatery that portrayed East Coast establishments in both When Harry Met Sally . . . and A Few Good Men, today’s locale can actually be found close to the Atlantic – though its name would have you believe…

  • The Reno Main US Post Office from “Sister Act”

    The Reno Main US Post Office from “Sister Act”

    ‘ While visiting my grandmother in Sparks, Nevada over Christmas, I dragged her, along with my parents, out to stalk the Reno Main US Post Office, which masqueraded as the Reno Police Station in the 1992 movie Sister Act.  I first found out about this location from fave book Shot on This Site: A Traveler’s…

  • Mayo Clinic – Here We Come!

    Mayo Clinic – Here We Come!

    ‘ Because I spent all day Saturday en route to Minnesota to accompany my dad to the Mayo Clinic and because I spent all day Sunday STALKING the Twin Cities (I stalked a record 18 locations in all), I had no time to write a blog post for today.  So, I am taking the day off,…

  • 24/7 Restaurant from Glamour Magazine’s “Glee Gets Glam” Photo Shoot

    24/7 Restaurant from Glamour Magazine’s “Glee Gets Glam” Photo Shoot

    ‘ One location that I have been ABSOLUTELY DYING to stalk for what seems like forever now is the diner-style restaurant where the girls from Glee – Lea Michele, Dianna Agron, Amber Riley, and Jenna Ushkowitz – posed for the May 2010 Glamour Magazine “Glee Gets Glam” photo shoot.  After months of searching for it,…

  • The Former Site of the “Doogie Howser, M.D.” House

    The Former Site of the “Doogie Howser, M.D.” House

    ‘ This past (dismal and dreary) Sunday afternoon, after stalking the Jack & Jill house, which I blogged about on Tuesday, I dragged the Grim Cheaper a few blocks south to stalk a location that I had been wanting to see in person for years – the Howser residence, where teenage prodigy Dr. Doogie Howser…

  • Celebrity Fit Club!

    Celebrity Fit Club!

    ‘ If you happen to be a member of a Hollywood area gym, be sure to keep your eyes open for famous people – the person on the treadmill next to you just might be Britney Spears! Or her judge! The buzz around my gym lately is that the judge in the Britney Spears custody…

  • Thornton Gardens from “Funny Girl”

    Thornton Gardens from “Funny Girl”

    ‘ I have never been a big Barbra Streisand fan.  Sure, she’s an undeniably talented singer – and actress and director, for that matter – but I’m just not that into music.  And that whole Rosie-O’Donnell-having-to-rearrange-her-stage-to-showcase-Barbra’s-better-side thing really turned me off.  I won’t even get in to her absolutely cringe-worthy Inside the Actors Studio interview. …

  • The 101 Coffee Shop from “Swingers”

    The 101 Coffee Shop from “Swingers”

    ‘ One location that I have wanted to stalk ever since moving to Los Angeles over a decade ago, but didn’t because there were numerous erroneous reports floating around online which stated that the place had since closed down, was the 101 Coffee Shop which appeared in the 1996 movie Swingers.  It wasn’t until Mike, from…

  • The Ambassador Hotel

    The Ambassador Hotel

    ‘ Katharine Hepburn once said, “I have many regrets and I’”‘”‘m sure everyone does. The stupid things you do, you regret . . . if you have any sense.” Katharine was right. One of my biggest regrets in life is that I never got to see the Ambassador Hotel in person before it was torn…
