Pasadena Elks Lodge from “Veep”
‘ Anyone who has visited Pasadena has likely taken note of the sprawling pillared building situated on the southeast corner of Colorado and Orange Grove Boulevards.

The 17 Again House
‘ As I’ve mentioned numerous times in the past, I am a total sucker for any sort of teeny-bopper movie. So, a couple of weeks ago when my fiancé surprised me with a copy of 17 Again, I just about died! 🙂 And while I have to admit that I’ve never been a big Zac…

Jonathan’s Apartment from “Mannequin”
‘ I wanted to go to Philadelphia for one reason and one reason only – to stalk Mannequin locations. The 1987 comedy is one of my all-time favorites. I loved it as a kid and love it even more today. It has pretty much everything I could ever want in a film. A mannequin that…

Another Day of Cleaning . . .
‘ I swear, I feel like all I do is clean lately! I have not mentioned this before, but the Grim Cheaper and I have a vacation rental that I clean almost weekly. The GC is also starting a new company with his boss, so I have been doing all of the cooking over the…
