    Yvette Vickers’ Former Home

    ‘ Boulevard of broken dreams – that phrase pops into my head every time I venture down Hollywood Boulevard and see the men and woman costumed as super heroes or movie stars charging tourists to take a photograph with them.  I can’t imagine it is what anyone who sets out for Los Angeles hopes to…

    Patapsco Valley State Park from “Serial”

    ‘ Patapsco State Park.  Those three words, the name of a popular Baltimore-area recreation spot, shouldn’t be part of the lexicon of this California native.  But in October 2014, the first season of the investigative podcast Serial was released and instantly became a worldwide phenomenon.  Detailing the 1999 killing of high school student Hae Min…

    Cameron Frye’s House

    ‘ Last Wednesday morning I almost fell out of my chair as I opened up my email account and saw an AOL news headline screaming out at me “Ferris Bueller’”‘”‘s Day Off   House For Sale!”  At first, I thought the article was talking about the Long Beach area home that stood in for Ferris’”‘”‘ in the film.  But, in reality, it is the…

    The Friends of Heaven Grief Retreat Hotel from “Dead to Me”

    ‘ You wouldn’t expect a show centered around grief to be funny.  But the Netflix original Dead to Me, about the recently-widowed Jen Harding (Christina Applegate) and her new BFF Judy Hale (Linda Cardellini), whom she meets in the Laguna Beach chapter of the Friends of Heaven grief group, is downright hilarious!  One episode in…

    Casa Vega from “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood”

    ‘ One of the things I most appreciate about Once Upon a Time in Hollywood is the lengths director Quentin Tarantino went to portray an authentic 1960s-era Los Angeles onscreen.  To that end, he featured several local historic restaurants from the time that are, thankfully, still around today, including Musso and Frank Grill, El Coyote,…
