  • The Girl Next Door Houses

    The Girl Next Door Houses

    ‘ Located just a block away from the Beethoven house, which I blogged about yesterday, are the two main homes used in the 2004 movie The Girl Next Door.  Mike, from MovieShotsLA, took me by this location on the same day that we stalked the Beethoven house a few months back.  And, even though I…

    Pawn Shop to the Stars

    ‘ Another day, another pawn shop to write about. 🙂 Ironically, just around the corner from the now defunct Beverly Hills, 90210 pawn shop that I blogged about yesterday, is yet another local pawn shop that also has a filming history. Who knew that pawn shops were such popular filming locations?? 🙂 Angelo’”‘”‘s Jewelry and…

    Vickie’s Diner from “Lucky You”

    ‘ This year is literally flying by!  It seems like just yesterday that the Grim Cheaper and I headed to Las Vegas, but in actuality our mini work trip/vacay took place over two months ago!  And I still have yet to post all of the stalking sites we visited while there, including today’s locale, which…

    El Cabrillo from “L.A. Story”

    ‘ Last April, in the midst of my slightly-obsessive L.A. Story location-finding mission, fellow stalker Owen, of the When Write Is Wrong blog, tracked down a couple of the movie’s crew members for me, one of whom was extremely helpful.  After he assisted us in the finding the crash intersection from the flick, I inquired…

    “It Never Rains In Southern California . . . “

    ‘ As the old Albert Hammond song says “It never rains in Southern California, but girl, don’”‘”‘t they warn ya, it pours man, it pours!”  And pour it did almost all last week all over the normally sun drenched landscape of Los Angeles.  While on my way to stalk Burbank’”‘”‘s Handy Grocery Store in the pouring rain this…

  • Pico House from “My Sister Sam”

    Pico House from “My Sister Sam”

    ‘ The name of my blog is (obviously) meant in jest.  I always feel a pang of guilt over having chosen it, though, when I think about Rebecca Schaeffer, the young actress who was gunned down in her doorway by a deranged stalker at the tender age of 21 in 1989.  My grandma and I…

  • The Los Angeles Police Administration Building from “The Closer”

    The Los Angeles Police Administration Building from “The Closer”

    ‘ One location that I had long been desperate to stalk was the real life Los Angeles Police Administration Building – or the Los Angeles Police Department Headquarters, as it is also known – in downtown Los Angeles, which played itself each week on fave show The Closer.  So in honor of the series’ recently-aired…

    The Villa Del Sol from “Rosewood”

    ‘ The Baader-Meinhof Phenomenon is a term used to describe the experience of coming across an obscure word, thing, or piece of information for the first time and then subsequently happening upon references to that same word, thing, or piece of information on a regular basis.  I had never heard of it until fellow stalker/guest…

  • Happy Thanksgiving!

    Happy Thanksgiving!

    ‘ I am going to be taking the rest of this week off to celebrate Thanksgiving with my family, but I will be back on Monday with a whole new location.  I hope all of my fellow stalkers have a fabulous Thanksgiving holiday! Until next time, Happy Stalking! ‘

    SPARCinLA from “Beverly Hills, 90210”

    ‘ The Grim Cheaper and I are moving in a couple of days (we bought a house out here in the desert – our first house!) and while packing last week I informed him that as soon as we got settled we would be taking a trip to Los Angeles as I “have nothing to…
