    Bob Hope Patriotic Hall from “Flashdance”

    ‘ Anyone who has ever driven on the I-10 Freeway east of downtown Los Angeles has most likely noticed the A-line, red-roofed building that towers over the skyline to the south.  That building is Bob Hope Patriotic Hall.  I have passed by it hundreds of times and have always wanted to venture inside.  A couple…

    Yamashiro Restaurant – Looking Down on All of Hollywood!

    ‘ On Saturday, my boyfriend took me to dinner at a former Japanese palace called Yamashiro, located in Hollywood – 250 feet above Hollywood Boulevard, to be exact. The restaurant has the most amazing views of Hollywood and surrounding LA that I have ever seen and it was a pretty incredible place to spend an…

    Stalking Barry Manilow, Part II

    ‘ Last time I was in Palm Springs I did a little stalking of Barry Manilow’”‘”‘s house, but thanks to Richard, who posted a comment on my previous Barry post telling me that Mr. Manilow’”‘”‘s home actually has TWO addresses, I was able to stalk the other side of his house this weekend while I…

  • Porter’s Stowaway Tavern from “Revenge”

    Porter’s Stowaway Tavern from “Revenge”

    ‘ The Grim Cheaper and I recently became obsessed with Revenge.  We randomly started watching the ABC series on Netflix one night in early September and could NOT stop.  For the next three weeks, the two of us obsessively binge-watched episodes, to the extent that I’m kind of surprised no one staged an intervention.  We…

    Bing Crosby’s Palm Desert House – Where JFK Trysted with Marilyn Monroe

    ‘ Last month, shortly before I headed off to Switzerland, my dad loaned me the book Killing Kennedy, which he had just finished reading. Because there was a chapter devoted to my girl Miss Marilyn Monroe, he thought I might enjoy it. And enjoy it, I did. I could hardly put it down! The chapter…

    Another Few Days Off

    ‘ Sorry to leave y’all hanging, but I will also be taking Monday and Tuesday of this week off.  I will be back on Wednesday, though, with a whole new stalking location!    I hope all of my fellow stalkers had a fabulous Thanksgiving! Until next time, Happy Stalking! ‘

  • Scrubs!

    Scrubs!

    ‘ Last week I attended an acting class in North Hollywood and I happened to get a little bit lost on my way there. I turned onto a small side street off Riverside Drive and wound up in what I thought was a parking lot. But when I saw a guard shack with a large…

  • Village Cigars from “Just My Luck”

    Village Cigars from “Just My Luck”

    ‘ When planning a trip, my M.O. is to pore over as many area travel guides as possible and highlight spots I think the Grim Cheaper and I might be interested in seeing.  I then pass the books along to him and he reads through all the passages I have marked, giving them a yay…

  • Palindrome Healing Center from “Flaked”

    Palindrome Healing Center from “Flaked”

    ‘ Some images just stay with you.  When I came across these MLS photos of a Venice Beach home on Curbed Los Angeles back in 2008, I practically started drooling and the words “real estate porn” immediately came to mind.  The pictures of the dramatically unique Moroccan-inspired dwelling, especially the ones of the meandering pool,…

  • Taking Today and Tomorrow Off

    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…
