  • Jerry’s Condo from “Jerry Maguire”

    Jerry’s Condo from “Jerry Maguire”

    ‘ Location hunts can take some strange, circuitous paths.  Case in point – during my laborious, years-long search for the condo where Jerry Maguire (Tom Cruise) lived in the 1996 classic of the same name, I headed down a fairly deep rabbit hole in an attempt to identify the onetime beach home of actress Suzanne…

  • The Whisky a Go Go

    The Whisky a Go Go

    ‘ I’ve never really been into music.  As I have mentioned before, if it’s not sung by Michael Bublé, Britney Spears or Michael Jackson, or was not a top ‘80s hit, chances are I haven’t heard it.  But my good friend Kim from Kentucky is a huge music buff, so when she and our good…

    ‘ I would like to wish a very happy Labor Day to all of my fellow stalkers.  I am taking today off, but will be back on Wednesday with a whole new post.  Sorry to have been a bit MIA lately, but the Grim Cheaper and I have been traveling a lot and I have…

  • Linda Vista Community Hospital

    Linda Vista Community Hospital

    ‘ Way back in August, in preparation for my Haunted Hollywood postings, I dragged the Grim Cheaper out to a spot that is, hands down, the spookiest location I have ever visited in all my years of stalking – Linda Vista Community Hospital in Boyle Heights.  Because the property is not only a filming location,…

  • The McDonald Mansion from “Pollyanna”

    The McDonald Mansion from “Pollyanna”

    ‘ I am fully aware that I have a hyperbolic nature.  I use words like “favorite,” “best,” and “most” a LOT.  Caps, too, for that matter.  I wouldn’t say that I am an exaggerator, though.  I just happen to like a lot of things.  Case in point, I have more “all-time favorite” movies than I…

  • James’ Beach Restaurant

    James’ Beach Restaurant

    ‘ This past weekend, I dragged my fiance out to stalk a restaurant named James’”‘”‘ Beach that was featured in the 2009 romantic comedy I Love You, Man.    In the movie, Sydney Fife (aka Jason Segal) and Peter Klaven (aka Paul Rudd) have their very first man-date at the Venice Beach area restaurant, which Sydney alleges serves up the…

  • The Firehouse Restaurant from “Speed”

    The Firehouse Restaurant from “Speed”

    ‘ Pop quiz, hotshot!  You’re hanging around Venice Beach, in dire need of a latte, and you happen to pass by The Firehouse Restaurant from the 1994 action hit Speed.  What do you do?  What do you do?  Why, you head in for some stalking and a cup of joe, of course!  I’m really reaching…

  • The Disneyland Locations from “Saving Mr. Banks”

    The Disneyland Locations from “Saving Mr. Banks”

    ‘ In February (on what turned out to be an exorbitantly crowded day), the Grim Cheaper and I visited The Happiest Place on Earth with Miss Pinky Lovejoy, of the Thinking Pink blog, and her husband, Keith Coogan.   Since I had just recently watched – and fallen in love with – Saving Mr. Banks, I…

  • A Day of Celebrity Stalking!  :)

    A Day of Celebrity Stalking! 🙂

    ‘ I spent pretty much all day yesterday doing some stalking of celebrities (one of whom was fellow stalker Owen’”‘”‘s – of the When Write is Wrong blog – girlfriend, Jennifer Love Hewitt ) with Miss Pinky Lovejoy, of the Thinking Pink blog, so I was unfortunately unable to write a new post for today. …
