  • East Miami Police Department from “Rosewood”

    East Miami Police Department from “Rosewood”

    ‘ I was saddened to learn of the cancellation of Rosewood last week.  Yes, I said in recent posts (here and here) that the show had jumped the shark, but I was holding out hope that it would return strong for a third season.  Unfortunately, as Fox announced last Tuesday, that is not to be. …

  • Bahooka Family Restaurant from “Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas”

    Bahooka Family Restaurant from “Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas”

    ‘ This past Sunday morning, my mom emailed me a link to a Los Angeles Magazine article about the upcoming closure of a veritable San Gabriel Valley institution, Bahooka Family Restaurant in Rosemead, with the admonishment, “You’d better take pictures! It HAS to have been in movies.” And she was right. Bahooka has starred in…

  • Castelli’s Ristorante in Palm Desert

    Castelli’s Ristorante in Palm Desert

    ‘ Early last week, one of my mom’s friends told her about a Palm Desert-area eatery named Castelli’s Ristorante that he had just dined at the previous evening.  While he was lauding the place’s authentic Italian fare, he happened to mention that its walls were decorated with hundreds upon hundreds of photographs of the various…

  • The “Psycho” Car Dealership

    The “Psycho” Car Dealership

    ‘ While putting together a list of spooky-type locales to stalk during my Haunted Hollywood month a couple of weeks ago, I decided to peruse through fave book James Dean Died Here: The Locations of America’s Pop Culture Landmarks by Chris Epting for a little inspiration.  And, let me tell you, I just about died…

  • Henry’s Tacos from “People Like Us”

    Henry’s Tacos from “People Like Us”

    ‘ Last weekend, the Grim Cheaper and I finally decided to check out People Like Us.  And while I can’t say that I loved it (I am not big on depressing movies), it was an enjoyable watch and Chris Pine was, as always, oh-so-yummy.  And the flick was filmed in its entirety in Los Angeles,…

  • The Michael Buble Crazy Love Concert

    The Michael Buble Crazy Love Concert

    ‘ As I have mentioned countless times before on this blog, this stalker is one hundred percent, head over heels in love with cutie crooner Michael Buble.  In fact, my fiancé and I are currently in the midst of creating our wedding slide show and the vast majority of songs I picked out to play…

  • Meeting Ivo Adam

    Meeting Ivo Adam

    ‘ While vacationing in Switzerland last month, I was not expecting to encounter any stars.  But the stalking gods were definitely smiling down upon me because encounter a star, I did – a Swiss celebrity chef named Ivo Adam. Upon arriving in Ascona, a gorgeous lakeside town in Switzerland’s Ticino region, my best friend Robin’s…

  • Donna’s House from “Rosewood”

    Donna’s House from “Rosewood”

    ‘ I’ve never met a police procedural I didn’t like.  When one centers around an insanely charming male lead who constantly (and comically) spars with his cynical female partner, it’s a guarantee it will make my top ten.  Such was the case with the FOX drama Rosewood, which began airing in 2015.  For those who…

  • Kansas City Barbeque Is Back In Business – Just In Time For Halloween!

    Kansas City Barbeque Is Back In Business – Just In Time For Halloween!

    ‘ This weekend, I took a little vacay down to San Diego with my family. Of course, while there I had to do some stalking of the Top Gun Bar, aka Kansas City Barbeque, which sadly has been closed since June 26th of this year due to a major fire. I was very curious to…

  • Happy Martin Luther King Jr. Day!

    ‘ I will be taking today off for Martin Luther King Jr. Day, but will be back on Wednesday with a whole new locale!  I hope everyone has a safe holiday. ‘
