  • The Standard Hotel Rooftop Bar in Downtown Los Angeles

    The Standard Hotel Rooftop Bar in Downtown Los Angeles

    ‘ Another Fracture filming location that I recently stalked – without actually realizing it – was the Standard Hotel’s Rooftop Bar in Downtown L.A.  I say “without actually realizing it” because at the time I stalked the place I had no idea it was a filming location.   I ended up there while on the way…

  • Scranton Business Park from the First Season of “The Office”

    Scranton Business Park from the First Season of “The Office”

    ‘ A fellow stalker named Scott recently challenged me to track down the building that was used as both the interior and exterior of Scranton Business Park during the inaugural season of The Office.  I was perplexed at his query as I had no idea that two different Dunder Mifflin locations had been utilized during…

  • O’Hara’s Pub from “Bad Santa”

    O’Hara’s Pub from “Bad Santa”

    ‘ I realize that Christmas has passed, but I have one more holiday locale to write about before bidding adieu to the Yuletide season.  Two Fridays ago, after reading my post on Footsies bar from Bad Santa, fellow stalker Owen, of the When Write Is Wrong blog, miraculously managed to track down the exterior of…

  • Little Dom’s Restaurant from “90210”

    Little Dom’s Restaurant from “90210”

    ‘ This past Saturday night, I dragged the Grim Cheaper out to Los Feliz to stalk Little Dom’s – an Italian eatery owned by Warner Ebbink and Brandon Boudet of the Eat Heavy Restaurant Group, the very same team that was responsible for founding the 101 Coffee Shop that I blogged about yesterday.  The GC…

  • El Pollo del Mar from “L.A. Story”

    El Pollo del Mar from “L.A. Story”

    ‘ One location that I had been dying to find for years was El Pollo del Mar (yes, that translates to The Chicken of the Sea LOL), aka the supposed Santa Barbara-area resort featured in the 1991 flick L.A. Story.  Try as I might, though, I just could not seem to track the place down. …

  • The “Little Miss Sunshine” Motel

    The “Little Miss Sunshine” Motel

    ‘ Another Little Miss Sunshine locale that I desperately wanted to stalk was the supposed Arizona motel where the Hoover family – Olive (Abigail Breslin), Richard (Greg Kinnear), Sheryl (Toni Collette), Dwayne (Paul Dano), Grandpa Edwin (Alan Arkin), and Frank Ginsberg (Steve Carell) – stayed mid-way through their road trip from Albuquerque to Redondo Beach…

  • Happy Labor Day

    Happy Labor Day

    ‘ I am taking the day off from blogging today to celebrate Labor Day with my family in Palm Springs, but I will be back tomorrow with a whole new post.  I hope all of my fellow stalkers are enjoying a fabulous three-day weekend! Until next time, Happy Stalking! ‘

  • Lux Nightclub from “Lucifer”

    Lux Nightclub from “Lucifer”

    ‘ The recent network television cancellations left me reeling.  Four – yes, four – of my favorite shows – Lucifer, Scorpion, Timeless and Brooklyn Nine-Nine – were given the ax.  Though the latter was promptly rescued, I am still waiting for the #savescorpion, #savelucifer and #savetimeless cries to be heard.  If not, the Grim Cheaper…

  • The Safari Inn from “True Romance”

    The Safari Inn from “True Romance”

    ‘ One oft-filmed-at locale that I had known about for ages, but had never gotten around to stalking was the historic Safari Inn on West Olive Avenue in Burbank. I had driven by the motel countless times over the years – I get my hair done right across the street, in fact – and, even…

  • Haskell’s Ice Cream Hut from “The Brady Bunch”

    Haskell’s Ice Cream Hut from “The Brady Bunch”

    ‘ I have been a The Brady Bunch fanatic since I was about three years old.  Growing up, I wanted nothing more than to be Cindy Brady (Susan Olsen) and don blonde pig tails on a daily basis.  Too bad my hair was brown, curly and far too short for pig tails.  As an adult,…
