  • The Wedding Singer Bakery

    The Wedding Singer Bakery

    ‘ A few weeks ago, fellow stalker Owen asked for my help in locating the bakery featured in one of his all time favorite movies, the 1998 comedy The Wedding Singer.  Owen had actually contacted one of the movie’”‘”‘s crew members who happened to remember that the bakery where filming took place was located somewhere in Montrose, a small town…

  • Jonathan’s Apartment from “Mannequin”

    Jonathan’s Apartment from “Mannequin”

    ‘ I wanted to go to Philadelphia for one reason and one reason only – to stalk Mannequin locations.  The 1987 comedy is one of my all-time favorites.  I loved it as a kid and love it even more today.  It has pretty much everything I could ever want in a film.  A mannequin that…

  • Jimmy’s Restaurant from “Grandfathered”

    Jimmy’s Restaurant from “Grandfathered”

    ‘ The Grim Cheaper and I were inundated with new shows we love during the Fall 2015 television season.  Virtually every single one we sampled became must-see TV for us, including Blind Spot, Limitless, The Grinder, Quantico, The Family (which technically didn’t start until early 2016), Oil (really bummed that one was cancelled), Wicked City…

    My Guide to Palm Springs – See/Do/Shop

    ‘ With 365 days of sunshine a year and a plethora of gorgeous lodgings, Palm Springs is the perfect vacation venue to sit around the pool and do nothing.  But that doesn’t mean there isn’t a wide array of things to do while in town.  Below is a list of my favorite local sites to…

  • My Guide to Palm Springs – Hotels

    My Guide to Palm Springs – Hotels

    ‘ Today’s post is loooooong overdue.  For ages now, I’ve been talking about putting together a guide to Palm Springs.  Having lived in the desert for over six years, regularly playing a tourist in my own town, has given me quite an insider’s knowledge of the area.  Who better to share that knowledge with than…

  • Peg Entwistle’s Former House

    Peg Entwistle’s Former House

    ‘ Another location that I learned about thanks to the fabulous Hollywood Death and Scandal Sites book, which was penned by fellow stalker E.J. of The Movieland Directory, was the one-time Beachwood Drive home of Peg Entwistle, the tragic blonde actress who only achieved fame after her 1932 suicide, in which she jumped to her…

  • Surprise Vacation!

    Surprise Vacation!

    ‘ The Grim Cheaper has whisked me away for a surprise trip for my birthday (I literally have no clue where we are going or what we are doing), so I will not be blogging for the next couple of days.  I should be back to posting on Friday, June 16th, so I will see…

  • The Women’s Exchange from “Sleepless in Seattle”

    The Women’s Exchange from “Sleepless in Seattle”

    ‘ Last year, I had incredible luck getting access to filming locations typically closed to the public.  While visiting New York in April, I was granted tours of three non-accessible places that I literally would have given my eye teeth to see.  Thankfully, none of my friendly tour guides collected on that offer.  (And yes,…

  • Homer’s House from “The Day of the Locust”

    Homer’s House from “The Day of the Locust”

    ‘ Today’s locale is an oldie but goodie.  Way back in October 2010, while in Eagle Rock stalking with Mike, from MovieShotsLA, we passed by a residence at 4911 College View Avenue and Mike informed me that it was featured in The Day of the Locust.  At the time I had never heard of the…

  • The Pasadena Recovery Center from “Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew”

    The Pasadena Recovery Center from “Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew”

    ‘ One location that I stalked with my good friends, fellow stalkers Lavonna, Beth, Melissa, Kim, and Sandy, while they were in town visiting from Ohio last week was the Pasadena Recovery Center from Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew.  And while I had never before actually seen an episode of the VH1 reality series, which…
