Skylark Hotel from “Palm Swings”
‘ One of the best parts of starting this blog is the many connections I’ve been able to make with people who share this unique predilection of mine.

Westfield Culver City from “Girls Just Want to Have Fun”
‘ Some filming locations are maddeningly elusive.

The Dorchester from “Mannequin”

Gas Works Park from “10 Things I Hate About You”
‘ Another location that I stalked while visiting the Pacific Northwest this past May – and yes, there are still quite a few of them that I have yet to blog about – was Seattle’s famously unique Gas Works Park, the spot where Patrick Verona (aka Heath Ledger) took Kat Stratford (aka Julia Stiles) to…

On Location With The Mentalist!
‘ Yesterday morning while doing some Downtown Los Angeles stalking, I happened to stumble upon a large film crew outside of Union Station. I, of course, asked one of the background actors what was being filmed and almost fell over when she told me it was my new favorite show, The Mentalist!!!! I asked if Simon Baker was on set and she laughed and said “Everyone’”‘”‘s been…
