    The Conservatory Garden from “The Girl on the Train”

    ‘ One of my favorite places in all of Manhattan is, surprisingly, not a stalking location.  Or at least it wasn’t up until recently.  The Conservatory Garden, a six-acre oasis in East Harlem situated across from the Museum of the City of New York, is easily the most picturesque park I have ever set foot…

    Pacific Market – The Grocery Store from “Scream”

    ‘ To continue with October’”‘”‘s Halloween theme, this weekend I sent my Aunt Lea out once again to do a little Scream stalking. And this one was definitely a collaborative effort. Her mission, and she chose to accept it, was to stalk the grocery store used in my favorite horror movie. There had been some…

  • Whitney Houston’s Drug Bust

    Whitney Houston’s Drug Bust

    ‘ Back in January of 2000, Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown had a little scuffle with the authorities at Keahole Kona International Airport. So, since I just happen to be in Kona, I had to do a little airport stalking. 🙂 It seems Ms. Houston was departing from Kona after a vacation on the Big…

    The “Little Miss Sunshine” Restaurant

    ‘ As I mentioned in yesterday’s post, while doing research on the former Abiquiu eatery (now Wokcano) from Get Shorty (which I blogged about here), I came across a Chowhound message board on which a commenter named Kevin stated that Pann’s restaurant in Ladera Heights was the spot where the Hoover clan –  Olive (Abigail…

    The “Punky Brewster” Building

    ‘ Back in early July, a fellow stalker named Charles posted a comment on my Challenge Lindsay page asking me to track down the building where Punky Brewster (Soleil Moon Frye) lived with her adoptive father, curmudgeon Henry Warnimont (George Gaynes), in the 1980s television series Punky Brewster. Now this stalker absolutely LOVED herself some…

    Another Day Off!

    ‘ Because I spent all day yesterday doing some location scouting with Mike, from MovieShotsLA – including an amazing visit to the WB Ranch!!!! – I was not able to write a new post for today.  But I promise to be back tomorrow with a whole new location.  So until next time, Happy Stalking! ‘

    My Guide to Palm Springs – Restaurants

    ‘ As I’ve mentioned many times on this blog, I am in no way a foodie, preferring chicken strips and ranch dressing to foie gras and jus.  My Guide to Palm Springs – Restaurants will reflect that.  Here you’ll find the best of the best comfort food, down home cooking, delis, and cafés, with a…

  • #Fail!

    #Fail!

    ‘ A couple of weeks ago, I found out, thanks to my friend Marie, that the love of my life, Mr. Michael Buble, would be in town on May 10th to sing at a benefit concert at the Hollywood Palladium.  So yesterday morning I headed out to Sunset Boulevard bright and early, armed with the…

    Mawby’s Bar from “Flashdance” – An Update

    ‘ Typically, when a vacant space is built out for a production, it is dismantled as soon as filming wraps – though sometimes stranger things, ahem, do happen.  Take Gwinnett Place, for instance.  A wing of the largely deserted Duluth, Georgia shopping center was transformed (with breathtaking attention to detail, I might add) into Hawkins,…

    The Original Pantry Cafe

    ‘ Well, it is shaping up to be restaurant week at iamnotastalker.com because for the third day in a row now here I am with yet another eatery to blog about – this time Downtown Los Angeles’ historic Original Pantry Café which first opened almost nine decades ago in 1924.  While I had actually known…
