  • The Conservatory Garden from “The Girl on the Train”

    The Conservatory Garden from “The Girl on the Train”

    ‘ One of my favorite places in all of Manhattan is, surprisingly, not a stalking location.  Or at least it wasn’t up until recently.  The Conservatory Garden, a six-acre oasis in East Harlem situated across from the Museum of the City of New York, is easily the most picturesque park I have ever set foot…

  • The Stuart Building from “That Thing You Do!”

    The Stuart Building from “That Thing You Do!”

    ‘ Back in early October, upon returning home from doing some That Thing You Do! stalking in Orange (you can read my posts on the locations I stalked here, here and here), I popped in my DVD of the 1996 flick to re-watch it for the first time in years.  I was absolutely shocked –…

  • The “Empty Nest” House

    The “Empty Nest” House

    ‘ Today’s post is a looooooong-time coming, friends! Easily the location I get asked to track down most often is the supposed Miami, Florida-area house where Dr. Harry Weston (Richard Mulligan) lived on the television series Empty Nest. I have searched for the contemporary two-story residence off-and-on over the years, but never had any luck. …

  • Disneyland!

    Disneyland!

    ‘ This stalker had a pretty amazing, but exhausting weekend (which included a fabulous trip to Disneyland – as well as a special preview of Cars Land – with my girl Miss Pinky Lovejoy, from the Thinking Pink blog) and I was unfortunately not able to get a blog done for today.  But I will…

  • The Former Site of the “Doogie Howser, M.D.” House

    The Former Site of the “Doogie Howser, M.D.” House

    ‘ This past (dismal and dreary) Sunday afternoon, after stalking the Jack & Jill house, which I blogged about on Tuesday, I dragged the Grim Cheaper a few blocks south to stalk a location that I had been wanting to see in person for years – the Howser residence, where teenage prodigy Dr. Doogie Howser…

  • The Real Clark W. Griswold House?

    The Real Clark W. Griswold House?

    ‘ I absolutely love Christmastime! Halloween may be my favorite holiday, but the weeks leading up to Christmas are definitely my favorite time of year. Each November I start looking forward to the red and green decorations lining city streets, the twinkle lights adorning houses and store windows, Starbucks eggnog lattes, carolers, the general goodwill…

    New “L.A.” Mag Post – Calamigos Ranch from “Wet Hot American Summer”

    ‘ Don’t forget to read my latest post for L.A.mag.com, about Calamigos Ranch from Wet Hot American Summer.  My articles typically get published in the late morning/early afternoon hours. ‘

  • New York, New York!

    New York, New York!

    ‘ Well, today I am heading to my other favorite coast – New York City – for a short vacation! Since I won’”‘”‘t be blogging for the rest of the week, I am leaving you with a few of my favorite NYC stalking locations!  It’”‘”‘s actually quite possible I have found more filming locations in Manhattan…

  • 24/7 Restaurant

    24/7 Restaurant

    ‘ All stalkers have those locations – the ones that, despite years of searching, remain on our unfound list.  Miraculously (and thanks to an insane amount of good fortune), I managed to track down one of mine recently, after over a decade of hunting for it! During the early 2000s, I had major girl crushes…

  • The Western Union Office from “The Sting”

    The Western Union Office from “The Sting”

    ‘ History in Los Angeles hides in the most unsuspecting of places.  Back in 2013, I stalked a small edifice at 118 Winston Street in downtown L.A. that portrayed a Western Union office in the 1973 caper classic The Sting.  I learned of the non-descript property via The Movie Tourist Blog and was thrilled at…
