    Dealey Plaza – Where JFK Was Assassinated

    ‘ As most of my fellow stalkers already well know due to the deluge of media attention, today marks the fiftieth anniversary of the assassination of John F.

    The Standard Hotel

    ‘ My friend Stephanie, who is even more obsessed with Sex and the City than I am, has a birthday coming up this Friday, so I decided to do a little post today in her honor. In Stephanie’”‘”‘s favorite SATC episodes, entitled “Escape from New York” and “Sex in Another City”, Carrie and the Girls…

  • Bombay Beach

    Bombay Beach

    ‘ Out of all of the Salton Sea townships that I stalked while my best friend, Robin, was visiting in March, Bombay Beach was, without a doubt, my favorite.  Situated about twenty miles south of the North Shore Beach and Yacht Club (which I blogged about here), the tiny census-designated place is made up of…

    Sherman Way Adult Books from “Behind the Candelabra”

    ‘ Today’s location is a bit of a risqué one, so brace yourselves, my fellow stalkers!  Back in May, after Behind the Candelabra first premiered, I received an email from my buddy E.J., of The Movieland Directory website, listing a few of the locales that he had tracked down from the HBO biopic.  He ended…

    Hotel Constance from “Café Society”

    ‘ It is always such a thrill to discover that a beloved restaurant, building, bar or boutique I wasn’t aware was a filming location has actually appeared onscreen.  Such was the case with Hotel Constance, one of my favorite Pasadena-area lodgings.  You’ve seen me talk about the place before in My Guide to L.A. –…

    The “Easy A” House

    ‘ The Easy A location that I was most excited about stalking while in the Ojai area almost two years ago was, not surprisingly, the charming clapboard residence where Olive Penderghast (Emma Stone) lived with her unique family (notice they are all named after a food of some sort) – dad Dill (Stanley Tucci), mom…

    The Garland Hotel from “Parks and Recreation”

    ‘ A couple of years ago, I drove by a hotel that looked like a little slice of retro heaven and became transfixed.  I made a mental note of its name and vowed to research it further.  As soon as I got home, though, I realized the name had escaped me and, because I have…

    ‘ Thanks to fellow stalker Owen, last week Mike, from MovieShotsLA, and I were able to stalk Robbie Hart‘”‘”‘s house from the 1998 romantic comedy The Wedding Singer.  I had actually been wanting to find The Wedding Singer  house for quite a while now, so when Owen told me that he knew where it was located, I just about died!!! …
