    Ontario Airport Inn from “Poltergeist”

    ‘ In “I must be living under a rock” news, I had no idea that a Poltergeist remake had debuted in 2015 – in 3D, no less!  Considering the so-called curse that plagued the OG trilogy, I’d have to think long and hard before signing up to be a part of any sort of reboot! …

    Franck’s Wedding Coordinator Shop from “Father of the Bride”

    ‘ When the Grim Cheaper and I first showed up to stalk Fig & Olive restaurant, from the 2012 “Matthew’s Day Off” Honda CR-V Super Bowl commercial which I blogged about last week, I became absolutely enchanted with Melrose Place, the tiny tree-lined street on which the eatery is located.  Even though I had been…

    The Ronald Reagan Presidential Library from “Veep”

    ‘ I don’t do museums, as many of my longtime readers well know.  One that I did partake of and thoroughly enjoy, though, was The Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, which I visited with my parents and the Grim Cheaper waaaay back in 2005 (so long ago that when I went looking for…

  • Happy New Year!

    Happy New Year!

    ‘ I am going to take the next few days off from blogging (yes, again), so that I can celebrate New Year’s Eve and New Year’s day (our last in Pasadena ) with the Grim Cheaper.  I did get to meet Uggie the Dog from The Artist and Water for Elephants yesterday, though, so I…

    The Poppa’s Popcorn House!

    ‘ Quite a few months back, I challenged Mike, from MovieShotsLA, to find the house the Ashe family moved into in the Season 2 episode of Beverly Hills, 90210  entitled “Ashes to Ashes”.  In the episode, the African-American family moves in to a home just down the street from the Walshes, causing quite a stir in their…

    The “‘Til There Was You” Apartment Building

    ‘ Another day, another elusive location found thanks to Mike – God of Stalking – over at MovieShotsLA.  🙂  I have been challenged several times over the past few months to find the beautiful courtyard apartment building featured in the 1997 movie ‘”‘”‘Til There Was You. Unfortunately I had never seen the movie before and my local…

  • The Disneyland Locations from “Saving Mr. Banks”

    The Disneyland Locations from “Saving Mr. Banks”

    ‘ In February (on what turned out to be an exorbitantly crowded day), the Grim Cheaper and I visited The Happiest Place on Earth with Miss Pinky Lovejoy, of the Thinking Pink blog, and her husband, Keith Coogan.   Since I had just recently watched – and fallen in love with – Saving Mr. Banks, I…

  • Imperial Western Beer Company from “Blast from the Past”

    Imperial Western Beer Company from “Blast from the Past”

    ‘ I absolutely hate losing things – it is one of my biggest pet peeves, especially when the items can’t be replaced.  Such was the case with a group of photos I took of Union Station’s former Fred Harvey Restaurant back in June 2009.  Upon learning about the site and its appearance as the dance…
