    My Guide to Palm Springs – Coffee

    ‘ My love of coffee knows no bounds!  So I have, of course, visited pretty much every café the Coachella Valley has to offer.  Of that group, there are a few standouts.  Read on for my list of the very best spots to grab a cup of joe in the desert.  As was the case…

  • The YWCA Hollywood Studio Club from “Dexter”

    The YWCA Hollywood Studio Club from “Dexter”

    ‘ Aside from Sex and the City’s, I don’t think there’s ever been a television finale that I loved. Dexter’s, in my opinion, was the absolute worst.  But I was thoroughly mesmerized by the location chosen to portray Rendall Psychiatric Hospital, the ultra creepy abandoned lair of the Brain Surgeon Killer, Oliver Saxon (Darri Ingolfsson),…

    The Rindge House from “The Brasher Doubloon”

    ‘ There are few things the Grim Cheaper loves more than historic sites.  So when we came across a massive dwelling that appeared to have a past while on our way to stalk the Beckett Residence in September 2012, we stopped to take a closer look.  Figuring the place had appeared onscreen at some point,…

    Kurt Cobain’s Former House

    ‘ While visiting the Pacific Northwest this past May, my good friend and fellow stalker Kerry took me to stalk a location that, at first, I actually wasn’t all that interested in seeing – the Seattle-area home where Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain passed away on April 5, 1994.  I’d never really been into Kurt Cobain…

    Candace’s Rental from “You”

    ‘ Though Anavrin was by far my favorite locale from the second season of the Netflix series You, I was also pretty darn smitten with the charming Victorian that Candace Stone (Ambyr Childers) rented during her stay in Los Angeles while posing as Amy Adam.  I was struck by the picturesque property as soon as…

    ‘ During our recent Cabo San Lucas honeymoon, the Grim Cheaper and I stayed at the Pueblo Bonito Pacifica Holistic Resort & Spa.  And while I knew from looking at the property’s website that it was a beautiful place, at the time I made our reservation I had absolutely NO idea that it was also…

    The “What Women Want” Coffee Shop

    ‘ “If I ever go looking for my heart’s desire again, I won’t look any further than my own backyard.”  So says Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz.  I should have heeded her advice because for years I have been searching for the coffee shop from the 2000 comedy What Women Want and as it…

    Mitchell and Cameron’s House from “Modern Family”

    ‘ The second locale that fellow stalker Robert, from the site , tracked down from fave new series was the Spanish-style duplex where Mitchell Pritchett (aka Jesse Tyler Ferguson) and Cameron Tucker (aka Eric Stonestreet), and their newly adopted daughter, Lily, live on the show.  Because I have always had a thing for Mediterranean-style homes…
