    ‘ I am heading to L.A. today and staying through the weekend – my favorite weekend of the year.  Yep, it’s that time again – time for the Academy Awards.  I am SO excited and am not even going to let the torrential rain that is supposed to be falling the entire time we are…

    Happy Valentine’s Day/Lincoln’s Birthday!

    ‘ I will be taking today off for Lincoln’s birthday, but I would like to wish all of my fellow stalkers a very happy Valentine’s Day/Lincoln’s birthday/three-day weekend.  I will be back tomorrow with a whole new post, so until that time . . . Happy Stalking! ‘

    The “Beautiful Girls” Bus Stop

    ‘ The fourth and final Stillwater location that my family and I stalked while in Minnesota two weeks ago was the “Knight’s Ridge, Massachusetts” bus stop where Willie Conway (aka Timothy Hutton) was first dropped off upon returning home for his high school reunion at the very beginning of fave movie Beautiful Girls.  In real…

    Dale’s Party House from “St. Elmo’s Fire”

    ‘ If stalking is my number one love, organizing ranks a close second.  This weekend, I went full-on Monica Geller with all of my filming location spreadsheets and it. was. glorious.  Not only did the process give me hours upon hours of enjoyment, but it made me realize how many sites remain sitting in my…

    Quake!

    ‘ The other night while driving home from the hospital – yes, my dad is in the hospital yet again – I happened to hit a red light at the corner of Green Street and Arroyo Parkway in Pasadena. The light took a really long time to change and while waiting I just happened to…

  • Burlesque Lounge from “Burlesque”

    Burlesque Lounge from “Burlesque”

    ‘ A couple of months ago, I dragged the Grim Cheaper out to see Burlesque and, because of all of the bad reviews the movie was generating, I did not have very high hopes that either of us would enjoy it much.  As it turns out, though, I could NOT have been more wrong!  It…

  • Melrose Avenue from “L.A. Story”

    Melrose Avenue from “L.A. Story”

    ‘ Another L.A. Story location that has been waiting patiently in my stalking backlog is the block of Melrose Avenue where Harris K. Telemacher (Steve Martin) and Sara McDowel (Victoria Tennant) walked and talked after attending a fundraiser for a private art museum in the 1991 flick.  Unfortunately though, because the movie was lensed over…
