  • Heading Back East

    ‘ The Grim Cheaper and I are currently back east for the next week and a half, which, unfortunately, means I will not have any new posts until (most likely) September 23rd.  Our trip is not under the best of circumstances (we are attending a funeral), but we have planned a couple of side trips…

  • Econo Inn & Suites from “CSI: Crime Scene Investigation”

    Econo Inn & Suites from “CSI: Crime Scene Investigation”

    ‘ Well, I am definitely on a hotel kick as of late, because here I am with my third post in a row of the inn variety.  Today’s lodging was featured prominently in the Season 9 episode of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation titled “Turn, Turn, Turn,” which just so happens to be the production in…

  • “The Hogan Family” House

    “The Hogan Family” House

    ‘ One Pasadena area filming location that I had long assumed was well-known in the stalking community was the home where the Hogan family lived in the 1986 television sitcom Valerie, aka Valerie’s Family, aka The Hogan Family.  So, the other day when I happened to point out the location to Mike, from MovieShotsLA, while…

  • My Guide to Palm Springs – Cocktails

    My Guide to Palm Springs – Cocktails

    ‘ Palm Springs has long been a playground of the show business elite, largely because back in the days of Old Hollywood, the studios required their stars to always be within a two-hour drive from Los Angeles.  The desert – picturesque, secluded and a scant 100 miles from Lalaland – therefore became the obvious go-to…

  • Sierra Towers – Brody Jenner’s Building on “The Hills”

    Sierra Towers – Brody Jenner’s Building on “The Hills”

    ‘ A few weeks ago, while out doing some stalking with my fiancé in West Hollywood, I made a little pit stop at the place where Brody Jenner is shown to reside on fave reality show The Hills, a West Hollywood building which is known as the Sierra Towers.   I found this location once again…

  • LOVE Park from “Shazam!”

    LOVE Park from “Shazam!”

    ‘ I am a complete and total girly-girl, especially when it comes to anything having to do with love, hearts or romance.  So when I headed to Philadelphia in September 2016, John F. Kennedy Plaza, aka LOVE Park, was at the top of my To-Stalk List – or rather the iconic LOVE statute that serves…

  • The “Black Sheep” House

    The “Black Sheep” House

    ‘ Another location that Mike, from MovieShotsLA, and I stalked last Monday afternoon was the supposed Buckley, Washington-area home where Mike Donnelly (aka Chris Farley) lived in the 1996 comedy Black Sheep.  Fellow stalker Owen tracked down this location – along with pretty much every other locale which appeared in the movie – quite a…

  • Red Studios Hollywood – aka Kinograph Studios from “The Artist”

    Red Studios Hollywood – aka Kinograph Studios from “The Artist”

    ‘ In early March, my friend Tony, the fellow stalker who has the amazeballs On Location in Los Angeles Flickr photostream, wrote a comment on my post about the duplex where George Valentin (Jean Dujardin) lived in The Artist alerting me to a blog named Silent Locations.  The blog, which is authored by business lawyer/film…

  • The “Larry Crowne” Cul-de-sac

    The “Larry Crowne” Cul-de-sac

    ‘ The last Larry Crowne location that I stalked recently – and there will be more coming, believe me, because Mike, from MovieShotsLA, has found quite a few others –  is the cul-de-sac where Larry Crowne (aka Tom Hanks) and his garage-sale-hosting neighbors, Lamar Johnson (aka Cedric the Entertainer) and wife B’Ella Johnson (aka Taraji…

  • The Meiks’s House from “Frailty”

    The Meiks’s House from “Frailty”

    ‘ One of my absolute, hands-down, favorite movies of all time is the 2001 thriller Frailty, which just so happens to be actor Bill Paxton’s directorial debut.  And I am apparently in good company with that opinion – according to the Contact Music website, James Cameron, Sam Raimi and Stephen King are also huge fans…
