    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…

    License to Stalk!

    ‘ When I was about ten years old, my favorite movie in the world was License to Drive starring the two Coreys.

    The “People Like Us” Apartment Building

    ‘ This past weekend, I dragged the Grim Cheaper out to Westfield Topanga mall in Canoga Park (one of my very favorite shopping centers) to do some major Christmas shopping.

    Vincente Minnelli’s Former Abandoned Mansion

    ‘ Back in February 2012, a fellow stalker named Kayleigh emailed me to ask if I knew anything about the “creepy” mansion located on the southeast corner of West Sunset Boulevard and North Crescent Drive in Beverly Hills.  Her email stated, “There’”‘”‘s very little information on it online other than the fact that Liza Minnelli…

    The Los Angeles Theatre Alley from “Coyote Ugly”

    ‘ You won’t typically find me frequenting back alleys in downtown Los Angeles.  But there is one that I just can’t get enough of.  My good friend Mike, from MovieShotsLA, pointed it out to me many years ago during a daylong DTLA stalking venture.  While driving through the Theatre District, he pulled over near what…

    ‘ A couple of months ago, Mike, from MovieShotsLA, informed me of a location that he thought was right up my alley due to its vast and storied Hollywood history – the Afton Arms apartment building from the movie The Boys Next Door.  After Mike mentioned it, I attempted to watch the 1985 flick –…
