    Palm Springing It, Again!

    ‘ I’m sorry to do this yet again, but I am taking another day off as I spent this entire past weekend in Palm Springs with my parents and unfortunately had no time for blogging.  I will be back tomorrow, though, with a whole new post. Until next time, Happy Stalking! ‘

  • The Sunset Tower Hotel

    The Sunset Tower Hotel

    ‘ One of my favorite places to visit in all of LA is the Sunset Tower Hotel, located on the legendary Sunset Strip in Hollywood. The Sunset Tower Hotel was built in 1931 by architect Leland A. Bryant for owner E.M. Fleming. The Art Deco building, which originally functioned as an upscale apartment house, was…

    The Dorchester from “Mannequin”

    ‘ I’ve made no secret of my love for Mannequin over the past few months.  As I’ve mentioned, my sole reason for heading to Philadelphia this past September was to stalk locales from the 1987 comedy, one of which was The Dorchester, the building where Jonathan Switcher’s (Andrew McCarthy) girlfriend Roxie (Carole Davis) lived.  (You…

    A Visit with My Grandma

    ‘ My grandma is currently in town for a visit, so I will probably not be able to post a new column until later in the week as I will be spending time with her.  I hope all of my fellow stalkers have a great few days! ‘

    Win A Date With Tad Hamilton!

    ‘ Being that I am completely obsessed with Josh Duhamel, one of my favorite movies of all time is (don’”‘”‘t laugh!) Win A Date With Tad Hamilton! In all honesty, the only thing I don’”‘”‘t like about Win A Date is the ending – Kate Bosworth so should have chosen Josh over Topher! 🙂 Otherwise…

  • The Buhrman House from “Truth Be Told”

    The Buhrman House from “Truth Be Told”

    ‘ I am a firm believer in love at first sight.  I definitely had hearts in my eyes upon catching a glimpse of the stunning Victorian where the Buhrman family lived on Truth Be Told.  The towering Queen Anne, pitched atop a leafy hill, was striking, to say the least, and I promptly set out…

  • Saddle Peak Lodge from “Bones”

    Saddle Peak Lodge from “Bones”

    ‘ There is no shortage of historic restaurants in Los Angeles that have appeared onscreen.  Despite their abundance, I thought I was well-versed on pretty much all of them.  One I went completely unaware of for years, though, was Saddle Peak Lodge in Calabasas.  I only learned of the 100-plus-year-old eatery in March 2013 while…
