    The Virgil from “A Star Is Born”

    ‘ I got a text from my friend Liz the other day saying, “Don’t see A Star Is Born . . . OMG!” followed by a bunch of crying face emojis.  As Liz and most of my fellow stalkers are well aware, I do not like sad or depressing movies – at all.  Liz needn’t…

  • Chez Jay from “A Single Man”

    Chez Jay from “A Single Man”

    ‘ The April issue of Los Angeles magazine (for which I wrote my very first print article ever – you can read it here) featured a Time Frame image of one of Santa Monica’s most historic restaurants, Chez Jay, reminding me that while I had stalked the watering hole ages ago, I had yet to…

    Pomona College’s Harwood Court – aka Eastland School from “The Facts of Life”

    ‘ Well over six months ago, my good friend Mikey, from the Mike the Fanboy website, asked if I would like to do some stalking with him of Harwood Court, the Pomona College dormitory which stood in for the fictional Eastland School, attended by Blair Warner (Lisa Whelchel), Dorothy ‘Tootie’ Ramsey (Kim Fields), Natalie Green…

  • Erin’s Florida House from “The Office”

    Erin’s Florida House from “The Office”

    ‘ I would like to start off today’s post by wishing my good friend and fellow stalker Lavonna a VERY HAPPY 50TH BIRTHDAY!  In honor of her big day, I decided that I just had to write about an Office-related locale, because not only it is Lavonna’s very favorite show, but she is actually the…

  • A Much-Needed Vacay!

    A Much-Needed Vacay!

    ‘ The Grim Cheaper and I are embarking upon a much-needed vacay – a real vacation, yahoo! – this morning, so I will be taking the entire next week and the following Monday off from blogging.  But I will be back on Tuesday, August 14th with a whole new location. I would also like to…

  • Christmas Tree Lane

    Christmas Tree Lane

    ‘ Last December, I blogged about a house in Altadena known as the Balian Mansion, or, as I like to call it, the real Clark W. Griswold house (pictured above).  And even though the mansion has appeared only briefly onscreen – in the movie Obsessed and in an early episode of Beverly Hills, 90210 –…

  • Jack Ryan’s House from “Clear and Present Danger”

    Jack Ryan’s House from “Clear and Present Danger”

    ‘ The Grim Cheaper was anxiously awaiting last Friday’s premiere of the new Amazon series Jack Ryan.  There was practically a countdown going on in our house.  When we finally viewed the first episode, though, my only thought was ‘I want that hour and four minutes of my life back.’  Needless to say, we were…

  • The Central Park Conservatory Water

    The Central Park Conservatory Water

    ‘ Because I spoke only very briefly about the Central Park Conservatory Water in yesterday’s post regarding the filming of Gossip Girl, today I thought I’d do a more in-depth blog on that location and the myriad of filming that has taken place there over the years.  So, here goes.  🙂   The Conservatory Water is…

  • The “Perfect Strangers” Apartment Building

    The “Perfect Strangers” Apartment Building

    ‘ A few weeks ago, while perusing fave book Marilyn Monroe Dyed Here: More Locations of America’s Pop Culture Landmarks by Chris Epting (which was gifted to me by fellow stalker Lavonna – thanks, Lavonna! ), I came across a blurb about the supposed Chicago, Illinois-area apartment building where Balki Bartokomous (Bronson Pinchot) and “Cousin…

  • Hanging Out on the Set of 90210!

    Hanging Out on the Set of 90210!

    ‘ I have to take a day off once again today – I know, I know, I’”‘”‘m sorry! 🙁 – due to the fact that I spent all day yesterday hanging out watching the filming of 90210 in Pasadena and therefore did not have time to write a post. The whole thing was an absolutely…
