Antonio’s Pizzeria – A Shannen Doherty Fave
‘ Way back in September 2011, while the Grim Cheaper and I were out and about doing some stalking in the San Fernando Valley area, we happened to drive past Antonio’s Pizzeria and the GC suggested that we pop in. He had dined at Antonio’s several times in the past and remembered that the place…

Sarah Silverman’s Apartment Building from “The Sarah Silverman Program”

The King Edward Hotel from “In Time”
‘ I am a sucker for a grand staircase! My affinity likely stems from the movie Titanic, which I was obsessed with back in the day. Whatever the impetus, I am drawn to them like a moth to a flame. Case in point – while researching the Surfridge neighborhood for this 2013 post, I was…
