The “Liar Liar” Towing Yard
‘ A few weeks ago, Mike, from MovieShotsLA, and I spent an entire day stalking in and around the Malibu area. But before actually heading west to the ‘Bu, Mike made a little surprise pit stop in Alhambra so that the two of us could stalk the towing yard that appeared in fave comedy Liar…

Spencer and Heidi’s Big Day!
‘ Well, it’”‘”‘s official! The reality TV couple that everyone loves to hate tied the knot at a Pasadena church earlier today . And, of course, I was there to stalk it!!!! 🙂 I have to say it was A-MA-ZING to be there and surprisingly enough, I think I am now on Team Spencer! I can’”‘”‘t quite believe it…

The Hyatt Regency Valencia from “Twilight”
‘ The other Los Angeles area filming location from Twilight that I mentioned in last Wednesday’s post is the Hyatt Regency Valencia Hotel.

They’re Here!
‘ A few weeks ago I sent Mike from MovieShotsLA out to do a little Haunted Hollywood stalking for me. I had read online that the house from the original Poltergeist movie (another horror flick I have yet to see!) is located in Simi Valley, and since Mike was in the area, I asked him…

Jane’s House from “Big Little Lies”
‘ I am extremely biased when it comes to my former stomping ground of Pasadena, where I lived for close to 15 years. Though I’ve heard on more than one occasion from L.A. denizens that the city is too suburban and too far removed from the hustle and bustle of urban life, I think it…

The “Portal” Light Installation
‘ Today’s locale can be filed in the hidden-gem-that-is-not-a-filming-location category, much like the Barthman Sidewalk Clock in New York. (Well, it’”‘”‘s not really a filming location, but more on that in a bit.) This one is located in Los Angeles, though, and is a definite must-see under-the-radar spot. Looking back, I can’t remember how I…
