    The Pioneer Saloon

    ‘ There’s only one thing I love more than stalking film locations and that’s stalking film locations that have a history.  On our way out of Las Vegas last week, the Grim Cheaper and I visited a watering hole that has quite a storied one.  The Pioneer Saloon in Goodsprings, which has been deemed Southern…

    Madame Tussauds Hollywood

    ‘ This past weekend, while out stalking in Hollywood, my fiance and I walked right past the new Madame Tussauds wax museum and I just about had a total meltdown right there on the sidewalk of Hollywood Boulevard!  The museum, which was supposed to open to the public on August 1st, was hosting a special preview event when we walked…

    Kung Pao China Bistro from “The Office”

    ‘ Last Thursday night’s episode of The Office which was titled “The Search” was hands-down one of my all-time favorite episodes of the series ever!  I absolutely LOVED, LOVED, LOVED it!  So, when fellow stalker Owen sent me an email the following day which listed all of the locations featured in it, I just about…

    Spadra Cemetery

    ‘ Finding the words “ghost town” used to describe a cemetery is likely to cause my head to start spinning.  Which is exactly what happened while I was doing some research on abandoned locales for an upcoming Discover Los Angeles post.  I happened to come across an article on the Avoiding Regret blog about a…

    Storrier Stearns Japanese Garden from “Pure Genius”

    ‘ The Grim Cheaper and I are finally getting around to landscaping the backyard of our new house, so to say I’m into gardens lately would be an understatement.  If I knew how to use Pinterest (I swear I cannot figure that site out), I’d be pinning foliage design ideas left and right.  Instead I’ve…

    The “Psycho” Car Dealership

    ‘ While putting together a list of spooky-type locales to stalk during my Haunted Hollywood month a couple of weeks ago, I decided to peruse through fave book James Dean Died Here: The Locations of America’s Pop Culture Landmarks by Chris Epting for a little inspiration.  And, let me tell you, I just about died…

    The Fake Fendi Apartment Building from “Sex and the City”

    ‘ My favorite moment from the two Sex and the City episodes that took place in Los Angeles (Season 3’s “Escape from New York” and “Sex and Another City”) was when Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker) and Samantha Jones (Kim Cattrall) attempted to buy fake designer purses at a seedy apartment building somewhere in the…

    Everybody Loves A Stalker!

    ‘ This weekend I dragged my boyfriend to the Beverly Hills Hotel on the pretense of having a drink at one of our favorite bars – The Polo Lounge – but the real reason for our outing was so that I could pick up the 2008 version of my favorite LA star map – the…

    The Cabazon Dinosaurs from “Pee-wee’s Big Adventure”

    ‘ On our way out to visit my parents in Palm Springs two weekends ago, the Grim Cheaper and I made a little stalking stop at the Cabazon Dinosaurs – the two legendary roadside sculptures located just outside of Palm Springs which were featured in the 1985 movie Pee-wee’s Big Adventure, among countless other productions.…

  • The Cellular House

    The Cellular House

    ‘ Back in September of last year, while stalking the house from fave 80s movie License to Drive, I just happened to stumble upon another famous movie home – Kim Basinger’”‘”‘s residence from the 2004 flick Cellular.  Well, truth be told, “stumble upon” isn’”‘”‘t exactly the terminology I should be using here. 🙂  The real story is that while taking…
