    Farnsworth Park

    ‘ My favorite movie of all time has got to be Dirty Dancing. I’”‘”‘ve loved the coming-of-age film ever since I was about 13 years old.  Oh, how I wanted to be Baby!  🙂  Growing up, I made my best guy friend practice doing “the lift” with me everytime we were in a swimming pool.  LOL   And, like…

    The Santa Barbara County Courthouse from “It’s Complicated”

    ‘ Two weekends ago, my fiancé and I headed up to Santa Barbara to spend the Fourth of July holiday with some friends.  And just minutes before we left, fellow stalker Kerry texted me to let me know that the 2009 romantic comedy It’s Complicated had been filmed in the area, just in case I…

    Hummingbird Nest Ranch from “Book Club”

    ‘ One of my favorite stalking stories involves the Grim Cheaper and Sex and the City: The Movie, which I saw right when it came out in late May 2008.  I was gifted Amy Sohn’s book about the film for my birthday just a few days later and while it did a fabulous job of…

    On Location With “Peep World”!

    ‘ Yesterday, while heading to fave bookstore Vroman’”‘”‘s to pick up a stalking book  I had special ordered, I happened upon a small crew filming on the sidewalk at the store’”‘”‘s entrance.  One of the policemen on duty was extremely nice and told me that the movie being filmed was a low-budget indie entitled Peep World. …

  • Citizens Bank Building from “The Sting”

    Citizens Bank Building from “The Sting”

    ‘ Upon landing my new gig writing for Los Angeles magazine’s CityThink blog, I comprised a list of iconic SoCal locales to spotlight in my weekly column, one of which was the Santa Monica Pier Carousel from 1973’s The Sting.  The only problem was that I had never actually seen The Sting.  Neither had the…

    Eagle Rock Plaza from “Glee” and Michael Buble’s “Crazy Love” Photoshoot

    ‘ This past Monday morning, Mike, from MovieShotsLA, called me up to ask if I wanted to do some stalking with him in the San Gabriel Valley.  As it turns out, Monday was a holiday – although I hadn’t realized it beforehand – and Mike had the day off from work.  So, after first loading…

  • East Miami Police Department from “Rosewood”

    East Miami Police Department from “Rosewood”

    ‘ I was saddened to learn of the cancellation of Rosewood last week.  Yes, I said in recent posts (here and here) that the show had jumped the shark, but I was holding out hope that it would return strong for a third season.  Unfortunately, as Fox announced last Tuesday, that is not to be. …

  • Santa Fe Depot from “The Trouble with Angels”

    Santa Fe Depot from “The Trouble with Angels”

    ‘ It is no secret that I love abandoned places, especially during this time of year.  (What I wouldn’t give to be able to see this in person!)  Recently I stalked Monrovia’s former Santa Fe Railroad Depot and it had my heart going pitter-patter.  The now defunct train station is also a filming location and,…

  • NoMo Kitchen from “The Other Woman”

    NoMo Kitchen from “The Other Woman”

    ‘ My favorite movie of 2014 was The Other Woman.  The romcom may have been heavily panned by critics, but I loved everything about it.  The Grim Cheaper and I saw it in theatres shortly after it premiered and then I purchased a copy as soon as it came out on DVD and have proceeded…

  • The Daily Dose Café from “Scandal”

    The Daily Dose Café from “Scandal”

    ‘ UPDATE – After closing and then reopening briefly as Café Société in 2018, this spot shuttered for good early last year.  It currently remains vacant. There’s pretty much nothing I love more than a cool coffee house.  So when Cupcakes and Cashmere blogger Emily Schuman wrote about the Daily Dose Café, a downtown Los…
