    The Piru Creek Bridge from “Burlesque”

    ‘ Another location that the Grim Cheaper and I visited this past weekend while doing some stalking in the Heritage Valley was the Union Pacific Railroad Piru Creek Bridge which stood in for the supposed Iowa-area bridge that Ali (aka Christina Aguilera) walked across during the opening scene of Burlesque.  I once again found this…

    Taking Today and Tomorrow Off

    ‘ My dad had surgery yesterday (fingers crossed that this one will be successful!) and, because I am spending the next few days in the desert with him, I will not have any new blogs to post today or Thursday and, possibly, Friday. I do have a funny stalking anecdote to share, though – one…

    Another Day of Slacking Off!

    ‘ Sorry to do this yet again, but I am taking today off.  I spent all weekend, including Friday, in the Desert helping my parents unpack and unfortunately did not have time to write a blog post.  I will be back tomorrow, though, with a whole new location, so until next time . . .…

    George Nader’s Former Home

    ‘ Earlier this year, while doing research on the various Coachella Valley-area houses formerly owned by pianist Liberace, I came across a blurb in fave book Palm Springs Confidential about the city’s first ever triple homicide, which took place in a Las Palmas Estates residence that once belonged to actor George Nader.  After wiping the…

    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…

    Ed and Tori’s Coffee Shop Meet-Up from “Big Little Lies”

    ‘ If the news reports currently lighting up the internet are to be believed, the drama that took place behind the scenes of Big Little Lies’ latest season is far headier than that which unfolded onscreen!  At the center of the dustup, per a recent IndieWire exposé, is Jean-Marc Vallée, the director of the series’…
