The “L.A. Story” Intersection
‘ The locale from L.A. Story that I was most interested in tracking down was also the one that I thought for sure I would never find – the intersection featured in the movie’s opening montage. Because the intersection was fairly non-descript, only shown briefly and no clues as to its location visible in the…

The Federal from “Four Christmases”
‘ I tracked down today’s locale thanks to some very insider information. Back on December 19th, 2012, I wrote about the San Francisco pad that portrayed Brad (Vince Vaughn) and Kate’s (Reese Witherspoon) residence in Four Christmases. Just a few hours after hitting “publish,” I received an email from the production designer of the 2008…

The Old Place from “Scorpion”
‘ There are some spots in L.A. that I miss more than others. The Old Place pretty much tops that list. I first stalked the rustic eatery, tucked away on a forested road in the picturesque mountain town of Cornell, in 2011 and was immediately smitten.

Lucky Strike Lanes in Hollywood
‘ Two weekends ago, while doing some stalking in the Hollywood area, I dragged the Grim Cheaper out to the Hollywood & Highland Shopping Center to grab a quick drink at Lucky Strike Lanes, an oft-used filming location and celebrity hot-spot. While I had first heard about the bowling alley/lounge when it originally opened eight…

The Old Orange County Courthouse from “American Horror Story: Asylum”
‘ It is a sad truth that many filming locations are not publicly accessible. (I’m looking at you Fremont Place, Golden Oak Ranch, the Jack Rabbit Slim’”‘”‘s exterior from Pulp Fiction, pretty much all of the houses from Scream, and Venice High School! Yes, I have toured the latter several times, but I have never…

Where the Stars Shop!
‘ While Rodeo Drive is the most widely known shopping mecca for the rich and famous, there is another lesser known shopping street in West Hollywood that the celebs swarm to in droves for their version of retail therapy. That street is called Robertson Boulevard and it is home to a little store named Kitson.…
