    Disney’s Grand Central Air Terminal

    ‘ I am one of the few people lamenting the upcoming opening of Disneyland’s Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge.  Though renderings certainly look cool (it is Disney, after all!), I fear the massive crowds the new 14-acre land is expected to draw are going to ruin the park.  The Happiest Place on Earth is crowded enough! …

  • Jess’ House from “New Girl”

    Jess’ House from “New Girl”

    ‘ A couple of weeks ago, my good friend/fellow stalker Lavonna asked me to track down the residence where Jess (Zooey Deschanel) lived prior to moving into the ultra-cool Binford Building on fave show New Girl.  Jess’ former house only appeared once on the series, in the Season 1 episode titled “Kryptonite”, and thankfully I…

    Slacking Off Again!

    ‘ I hate to do this AGAIN this week, but because I spent all day yesterday in Palm Springs with my dad – doing the final walk-through of my parents’ new house!!! – I did not have time to write a new blog post for today.  I came so very close to finishing the post…

    Coming Soon to a Bookstore Near You!

    ‘ Sex and the City author and creater Candace Bushnell’”‘”‘s new novel, One Fifth Avenue, hits bookshelves later this month and what better way for her to promote it than by doing a book signing at the greatest bookstore on the planet –

  • Joe’s Apartment from the Second Season of “You”

    Joe’s Apartment from the Second Season of “You”

    ‘ The second season of You couldn’t have been more quintessentially L.A.!  Nowhere is that more evident than in the apartment building that served as Joe Goldberg’s (Penn Badgley) new West Coast home.  As a reader commented about the place to me last week on Facebook, “It seems like I’ve passed it 284739484 times in…

  • Madeline’s House from “Big Little Lies”

    Madeline’s House from “Big Little Lies”

    ‘ Every once in a while a show comes along that absolutely grips me.  Granted, I watch – and get hooked on – a lot of series, but among them are certain standouts.  The Hills, Vanderpump Rules, and Beverly Hills, 90210 come to mind, though my obsession with the latter was admittedly next-level.  My latest…

  • A Free View of Universal Studio’s “War of the Worlds” Set!

    A Free View of Universal Studio’s “War of the Worlds” Set!

    ‘ Many moons ago, shortly after we first met, Mike, from MovieShotsLA, took me to a place that quickly became one of my very favorite “only in L.A.” spots –  a residential street from which the Universal Studios War of the Worlds plane crash set is visible.  And even though I always make it a…

  • Zipper Concert Hall from “The West Wing”

    Zipper Concert Hall from “The West Wing”

    ‘ Most actors will tell you that extra work is the worst.  But when I first landed in L.A. back in 2000, I did quite a bit of it and couldn’t have enjoyed myself more.  Just being on a movie or television set was surreal and provided an indelible opportunity to observe the inner workings…

  • Chez Jay from “A Single Man”

    Chez Jay from “A Single Man”

    ‘ The April issue of Los Angeles magazine (for which I wrote my very first print article ever – you can read it here) featured a Time Frame image of one of Santa Monica’s most historic restaurants, Chez Jay, reminding me that while I had stalked the watering hole ages ago, I had yet to…

  • The Pasadena Playhouse

    The Pasadena Playhouse

    ‘ My boyfriend and I happened to walk past the Pasadena Playhouse this past weekend, and I just had to walk inside to stalk it. 🙂 The Pasadena Playhouse, although not a filming location, is one of the oldest and most distinguished community theatres in the US. The Playhouse has hosted hundreds of notable actors…
