Bethesda Fountain and Terrace
‘ Just around the corner from the Central Park Boathouse Cafe, which I blogged about on Friday, is another New York landmark known as Bethesda Fountain and Terrace. Because the area is one of my favorite places in all of New York, I’ve actually stalked it numerous times during my many trips to the Big…

Samantha’s Meatpacking Digs!
‘ Yet another New York location that Mike, God of Stalking, found for me is the new apartment Samantha moves into early in the third season of Sex and the City. This same apartment was featured throughout the end of the series’”‘”‘ six season run. And I absolutely could not figure out its exact location.…

L’Orangerie – aka Chez Quis Restaurant from "Ferris Bueller’s Day Off"
‘ Back in 2010, this stalker became just a wee-bit obsessed with tracking down the restaurant interior which was used as the fictional Chez Quis French eatery in the iconic 1986 movie Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. I knew from listening to director John Hughes’ DVD commentary that the restaurant was somewhere in the Los Angeles…

JW Marriott Desert Springs Resort & Spa from “Saved by the Bell”
‘ This Labor Day, Lifetime is set to air The Unauthorized Saved by the Bell Story about the making of the Saturday morning classic which ran from 1989-1993. Um, YAY! (How did I not know about this, by the way?? Ordering it now!) While the show was admittedly as cheesy as they come, I loved…

South Pasadena Public Library from “Say Anything . . . “
‘ I was incredibly saddened to learn of the passing of John Mahoney last week. Not only did I love the actor in pretty much every role he played, but his Hollywood story is such an unusual and admirable one. After graduating from college, Mahoney tried his hand at a few different occupations including teaching…

The Bel Age Hotel from “Beverly Hills, 90210”
‘ Ah, change. It’s one of my least favorite things, especially when it comes to filming locations. So I was devastated when the Wyndham Bel Age Hotel, one of the most prominent locations from Beverly Hills, 90210, closed in 2007 to undergo a huge renovation and was renamed The London West Hollywood. I had been…

Sarah’s House from “The Craft”
‘ Another day, another request – this one also from my friends Lavonna and Katie regarding The Craft. (You can read yesterday’s post about HarborPlace Tower from the movie here). During a recent group texting session, Katie asked if I knew the location of the home where Sarah Bailey (Robin Tunney) lived with her dad,…

Voletta Wallace’s House from “Unsolved: The Murders of Tupac & the Notorious B.I.G.”
‘ I have never been a fan of rap. My musical tastes tend to run far more tepid (read: Michael Bublé, Michael Jackson, Britney Spears, and ‘80s pop). The Grim Cheaper likes to joke that my iPod song list hasn’t been updated since I first got the device back in 2001. Regardless, when I heard…

Mr. Y’s Apartment from "Behind the Candelabra"
‘ Back in June, while doing research on the house where Liberace (Michael Douglas) lived in Behind the Candelabra (which I blogged about here), I came across a fabulous production slideshow about the movie on HBO.com. The slideshow featured behind-the-scenes images of several of the locations used in the biopic and one – the mid-century…

The “My So-Called Life” House
‘ Since I blogged about the house which stood in for the Chase residence in the pilot episode of My So-Called Life yesterday, I thought I would write today about the house which was used in the remaining 18 episodes of the series. I have actually blogged about this location once before, over three years…
