    The TKTS Booth from “Glee”

    ‘ I’ve made no secret of the fact that I bailed on the television series Glee shortly after the second part of the first season began airing.  In my opinion, after starting out so strong, the show totally jumped the shark at that point.  But because I love the Big Apple, I did make sure…

    New Schedule

    ‘ I have been burning the candle at both ends lately and am finding that between taking care of my dad (which is a full-time job in and of itself), keeping up with my blog and writing for Los Angeles magazine, that there are just not enough hours in the day to get everything done. …

    The “L.A. Story” Freeway Sign

    ‘ One locale that the Grim Cheaper suggested I track down a few years back – and that I have wondered about ever since – was the spot where the freeway sign from the 1991 classic comedy L.A. Story once stood.  Because it was a prop sign that was situated on a long expanse of…

    Opera on Ocean from “Don’t Tell Mom the Babysitter’s Dead”

    ‘ A couple of weeks ago, a fellow stalker named Gina reminded me of a Don’t Tell Mom the Babysitter’s Dead location that I had yet to blog about – Opera on Ocean, the Santa Monica restaurant where slime-ball Gus (John Getz) took Sue Ellen Crandell (Christina Applegate) for a lunch date in the 1991…

    ‘ Fellow stalker Chas, of the It’sFilmedThere website, recently texted me to let me know he had tracked down a location that I had been curious about for what seemed like forever – the pizza parlor from Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.  Thanks to John Hughes’ DVD commentary of the flick, I knew that the restaurant…

    Lorraine’s House from “Back to the Future”

    ‘ Back to the Future fans are undoubtedly looking at the photo above thinking, ‘That’s not Lorraine Baines’ (Lea Thompson) house!’  But the Craftsman I am standing in front of, located at 1705 Bushnell Avenue in South Pasadena, did actually serve as her 1955 pad in the movie.  Before the die hards get all up…

    Happy Labor Day

    ‘ I am taking the day off from blogging today to celebrate Labor Day with my family in Palm Springs, but I will be back tomorrow with a whole new post.  I hope all of my fellow stalkers are enjoying a fabulous three-day weekend! Until next time, Happy Stalking! ‘

    Mawby’s Bar from “Flashdance”

    ‘ While I am definitely a child of the ‘80s, there are some classic films from that era that I have never been a fan of.  Pretty in Pink, Fast Times at Ridgemont High and Flashdance come to mind.  Being that there’s pretty much nothing I love more than movies with musical and dance montages,…

    The Possible Interior of O’Hara’s Pub from “Bad Santa”

    ‘ As I mentioned in last Tuesday’s post, thanks to fellow stalker Owen, of the When Write Is Wrong blog, I am fairly certain that I have managed to find the bar that was used as the interior of O’Hara’s Pub in the 2003 comedy Bad Santa.  When Owen heard about my quest to track…
