  • The New Peach Pit

    The New Peach Pit

    ‘ Over the years there have been several locations used around LA for the filming of the Peach Pit on my fave TV show, Beverly Hills, 90210. And now there is one more location to add to the already long list. My buddy Mike over at MovieShotsLA gave me the scoop on last week’”‘”‘s filming…

  • Myra Jones’ Former House

    Myra Jones’ Former House

    ‘ Though I love true crime and pretty much all of its facets, there are some cases that I find too sad and disturbing to read about, research, do any stalking of, or feature on my blog.  Today’s locale, the site of the brutal rape and murder of a 71-year-old grandma, is not one I…

  • The “Malcolm in the Middle” House

    The “Malcolm in the Middle” House

    ‘ This weekend while I was in Studio City, I did a little stalking of the house.  I must admit that I have never watched a single episode of I know, I know, I must have been living under a rock for the past eight years or something – but since it is the favorite show of…

  • The Infamous Ray Pruit Stairs

    The Infamous Ray Pruit Stairs

    ‘ Since moving to the desert last January (I cannot believe it has been a year!), I have wanted to revisit Rancho Las Palmas, the sprawling Rancho Mirage resort where Ray Pruit (Jamie Walters) pushed girlfriend Donna Martin (Tori Spelling) down a flight of stairs in the Season 5 episode of Beverly Hills, 90210 titled…

  • The Stuart Building from “That Thing You Do!”

    The Stuart Building from “That Thing You Do!”

    ‘ Back in early October, upon returning home from doing some That Thing You Do! stalking in Orange (you can read my posts on the locations I stalked here, here and here), I popped in my DVD of the 1996 flick to re-watch it for the first time in years.  I was absolutely shocked –…

  • Demitasse Café from “Bosch”

    Demitasse Café from “Bosch”

    ‘ I hope all of my fellow stalkers had a fun and safe Halloween.  For this year’s festivities, the Grim Cheaper and I headed over to our neighbor’s house for an amazing party (the decorations were like nothing I have ever seen!) and had an absolute blast.  Our 2018 costumes were, per usual, celebrity-inspired.  Unusual…

  • The “Dude, Where’s My Car?” Houses

    The “Dude, Where’s My Car?” Houses

    ‘ About six or seven years ago, my best friend Robin came to visit me from Switzerland for a few weeks and one night we found ourselves renting the 2000 cult comedy Dude, Where’s My Car? Being that the entire premise of the flick centers around two guys who lose their car, I honestly didn’t…

  • Ambassador College from “That Thing You Do!”

    Ambassador College from “That Thing You Do!”

    ‘ All historic structures in the Los Angeles area with the word “ambassador” in their name seem to be doomed.  The famed Ambassador Hotel, which once stood at 3400 Wilshire Boulevard in Koreatown, was razed in 2005.  And the former Ambassador College, at 131 South St. John Avenue in Pasadena, was largely demolished beginning in…

  • Vincent Price in Thriller

    Vincent Price in Thriller

    ‘ At the risk of this site dwelling far too excessively on the recent sad passing of pop star Michael Jackson, I just had to write one more blog post about him.  Or, rather, about his legendary music video Thriller and one of its main filming locations. I received an email last night with the above photograph…

    Celeb Dining in the Desert

    ‘ Got a tip from a good friend who lives in Palm Springs that Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell often frequent the Mexican restaurant Armando’”‘”‘s Bar and Grill when they are in the Desert. So I just had to go stalk it this weekend. Armando’”‘”‘s is a really cute little Mexican restaurant located right in…
