    Third Edition from “St. Elmo’s Fire”

    ‘ A couple of weeks ago, Rob Lowe posted an Instagram selfie taken in Georgetown with the caption “Return to the scene of the crime.  #StElmosFire,” and I was instantly reminded that I had stalked some locations from the seminal 1985 drama while back east in April 2016.  I learned about the locales thanks to…

    The “Hangover” House

    ‘ A few weeks ago, Mike, from MovieShotsLA, called me up to let me know that he was on the hunt for the main house used in fave movie The Hangover.  The two of us both had a pretty good inkling that the residence was located somewhere in the Pasadena area, we just weren’t sure…

    Burlesque Lounge from “Burlesque”

    ‘ A couple of months ago, I dragged the Grim Cheaper out to see Burlesque and, because of all of the bad reviews the movie was generating, I did not have very high hopes that either of us would enjoy it much.  As it turns out, though, I could NOT have been more wrong!  It…

    ‘ Back in March, I came across this post on fave website On Location Vacations which stated that 90210  was filming that day at a private residence located at 145 North Rossmore Avenue in Los Angeles.  That residence turned out to be the mega-mansion that Naomi Clark and her sister moved into in the episode of the…

    A Much-Needed Vacay!

    ‘ The Grim Cheaper and I are embarking upon a much-needed vacay – a real vacation, yahoo! – this morning, so I will be taking the entire next week and the following Monday off from blogging.  But I will be back on Tuesday, August 14th with a whole new location. I would also like to…

  • Daddy Day Care

    Daddy Day Care

    ‘ While out and about with my dad this week, I decided to stalk the home used in the Eddie Murphy movie Daddy Day Care. Since my dad just retired, he has been recruited to be my new stalking side kick! I think he loves it about just as much as my boyfriend does. 🙂…

  • The Stimson House from “House II: The Second Story”

    The Stimson House from “House II: The Second Story”

    ‘ After stalking Mills View, the Monrovia-area residence that appeared in the 1986 movie House, I started doing some online research on the flick’s 1987 sequel, House II: The Second Story, and came across information about the Stimson House, an incredibly unique, castle-like property located in Los Angeles’ West Adams District.  I was immediately intrigued…
