    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…

  • The Administration Building, Treasure Island from “The Parent Trap”

    The Administration Building, Treasure Island from “The Parent Trap”

    ‘ The stalking itinerary for my October 2016 trip to Northern California was extremely Scream-centric.  So much so that I did not really do any research on area locales from other productions.  But life threw a pleasant surprise my way shortly after I arrived in the City by the Bay.  Upon landing at SFO, my…

  • The “What Women Want” Coffee Shop

    The “What Women Want” Coffee Shop

    ‘ “If I ever go looking for my heart’s desire again, I won’t look any further than my own backyard.”  So says Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz.  I should have heeded her advice because for years I have been searching for the coffee shop from the 2000 comedy What Women Want and as it…

    My Guide to L.A. – See

    ‘ Today marks the end of my Guide to L.A. posts.  I hope you had as much fun reading the series as I did putting it together.  As I mentioned in yesterday’s article, to make things easier on myself I broke up my Things to Do recommendations into two categories, “Play” and “See,” though some…

    JFK and Jackie’s Former Georgetown Homes

    ‘ Considering how much I love history, I know shockingly little about former President John F. Kennedy and his wife, Jacqueline.  So I was thrilled when the Grim Cheaper gifted me with Jackie, Janet & Lee: The Secret Lives of Janet Auchincloss and Her Daughters Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis and Lee Radziwill last Christmas.  The 2018…

  • The Culver City Hobbit Houses

    The Culver City Hobbit Houses

    ‘ I have a major affinity for unique architecture.  So when I came across this CurbedLA article about the Lawrence and Martha Joseph Residence and Apartments, a grouping of Storybook-style structures in Culver City colloquially known as the “Hobbit houses,” I just about foamed at the mouth.  The complex looks like something straight out of…

    Eric Hamber Secondary School from “Juno”

    ‘ The third and final Juno filming location that I stalked while in Vancouver last month was the supposed Minneapolis-area Dancing Elk High School – the learning institution attended by Juno MacGuff (aka Ellen Page), her dorky baby-daddy Paulie Bleeker (aka Michael Cera), and her absolutely hilarious best friend, Leah (aka Olivia Thirlby).  In real…

    O’Hara’s Pub from “Bad Santa”

    ‘ I realize that Christmas has passed, but I have one more holiday locale to write about before bidding adieu to the Yuletide season.  Two Fridays ago, after reading my post on Footsies bar from Bad Santa, fellow stalker Owen, of the When Write Is Wrong blog, miraculously managed to track down the exterior of…

  • License to Stalk!

    License to Stalk!

    ‘ When I was about ten years old, my favorite movie in the world was License to Drive starring the two Coreys. I bought the movie on VHS and literally watched it every single Friday and Saturday night. I was absolutely obsessed with Mercedes Lane in the movie, a character played by Heather Graham. I…
