The 101 Coffee Shop from “Swingers”
‘ One location that I have wanted to stalk ever since moving to Los Angeles over a decade ago, but didn’t because there were numerous erroneous reports floating around online which stated that the place had since closed down, was the 101 Coffee Shop which appeared in the 1996 movie Swingers. It wasn’t until Mike, from…

Taking the Day Off . . . Again
‘ I hope all of my fellow stalkers had a fabulous Thanksgiving holiday!! I just returned from Lake Arrowhead last night and, unfortunately, did not have time to write a new blog post during my weekend away. Have no fear, though, as I did manage to get some stalking in while I was there and…

Officer Rhodes’ House from “Bridesmaids”
‘ As I mentioned in last Thursday’s post about the apartment building where Lillian (Maya Rudolph) lived in Bridesmaids, I recently became just a wee-bit obsessed with tracking down all of the locales featured in the 2011 hit.

Valentino from “Pretty Woman”
‘ Pretty Woman is one of the most well-documented movies out there when it comes to locations. Oddly though, despite the legions of websites and books with sections dedicated to its locales, I have yet to see identified the Rodeo Drive shop where Vivian Ward (Julia Roberts) and Edward Lewis (Richard Gere) spent an “obscene…

I am in love – and his name is Don Antonio!
‘ Like most everyone who watches, I, too, think Spencer and Heidi from are complete douchbags – but I still had to go find the restaurant they seem to visit on every episode – Don Antonio’”‘”‘s. It was easy enough to find with a simple Google search and, with camera in hand, my boyfriend and I ventured out there one Friday night. It…

The Liar Liar House
‘ One of the movie houses I have long been obsessed with finding is the home from the Jim Carrey movie Liar Liar. The house in the movie is absolutely adorable, very picturesque and I so badly wanted to see it in person. I happened to mention the Liar Liar house to Mike, from MovieShotsLA,a…
