    Lake View Medical Center from “Beverly Hills, 90210”

    ‘ In researching today’s post, I put in several hours scanning through countless Season 1 and Season 2 episodes of Beverly Hills, 90210.  Time well spent as far as I’m concerned!    This was all due to a comment left on my blog last October by a reader named Vanessa Laine who said that the…

    Descanso Beach Club from “NCIS”

    ‘ My family has long had a love affair with Catalina, the idyllic island located about 22 miles southwest of Los Angeles.  One of our favorite spots to grab lunch or an evening cocktail while there is Descanso Beach Club, a toes-in-the-sand restaurant situated along the shore of Descanso Bay.  I have visited the site…
