    The Filming Locations of “Big Little Lies” Season 2 – “She Knows”

    ‘ The fourth episode of Big Little Lies’ second season is pretty much when the show jumped the shark for me.  Though there were some captivating moments – a pumpkin carving party, a disco soiree and that slap! – the majority of “She Knows” was just meh.  Nevertheless, I proudly present to you its locations! …

    AFI’s Warner Bros. Building – aka the Hospital from “The Artist”

    ‘ Another locale from The Artist that I found thanks to John Bengtson’s fabulous Silent Locations blog was the Warner Bros.

    The Lost Horizon Apartment Complex from “Major Crimes”

    ‘ I have long been a fan of the television series Major Crimes (as well as its parent show The Closer) and though I love pretty much every single episode that airs, I do have a definitive favorite – Season 2’s “There’s No Place Like Home.”  For those who have not seen the episode (and…

    The “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off” Police Station

    Harris’ House from “L.A. Story”

    ‘ Another L.A. Story location that production designer Lawrence Miller talked about in “The L.A. of L.A. Story” featurette included on the 1991 comedy’s 15th Anniversary Edition DVD was the Spanish-style dwelling where wacky weatherman Harris K.

    Michael Jackson’s Childhood Home in Gary, Indiana

    ‘ Today’s blog is a major, major fail on my part as I had originally intended to write about this location on Monday, August 29th – the day that would have been legendary singer Michael Jackson’s 53rd birthday.  The suggestion to write about the King of Pop’s childhood home on the anniversary of his birth…

    The Lethal Weapon 2 House

    ‘ Since I am constantly dragging my boyfriend on my stalking adventures every single weekend, I decided to finally stalk a place he would enjoy – the house on stilts from Lethal Weapon 2. This is the same house that Mel Gibson attaches to his pick-up truck via cables, drives away, and pulls right down…

    The Warehouse Restaurant from “Anger Management”

    ‘ While visiting L.A. last week, the Grim Cheaper and I stayed in Marina del Rey.  One late afternoon, during a waterfront stroll, we found ourselves passing by a unique eatery that had long been on my To-Stalk List.  Situated on the bustling Admiralty Way amongst upscale hotels and high-rise apartment buildings, the nautical-themed The…

    Madeline Garden Bistro & Venue from “Mad Men”

    ‘ I have had many different stalking notebooks over the years.  My latest is a gorgeous white Moleskin that I picked up during my Switzerland vacation back in June 2013.  One locale that has been listed in it since I started using it almost four years ago (it’s one of the very first entries), but…
