    The Casa Walsh Garage – A Distant Memory

    ‘ Like Mike, from MovieShotsLA said yesterday, it’s officially the end of an era.  While the two of us were out doing some Pasadena area stalking on Sunday, we made our regular pilgrimage to the Walsh House from Beverly Hills, 90210 and saw a very sad sight, indeed.  In fact, Mike was so out of…

    The “Girls Just Want to Have Fun” Park

    ‘ Today’s post was a true labor of love – one that required stalking a location three separate times and a massive amount of help from a fellow stalker named Michael.  While most of the locales from the 1985 movie Girls Just Want to Have Fun (one of my all-time faves) have been tracked down…

    Village Cigars from “Just My Luck”

    ‘ When planning a trip, my M.O. is to pore over as many area travel guides as possible and highlight spots I think the Grim Cheaper and I might be interested in seeing.  I then pass the books along to him and he reads through all the passages I have marked, giving them a yay…

  • The Langham Huntington Hotel and Spa

    The Langham Huntington Hotel and Spa

    ‘ While stalking in Pasadena a few weeks ago I stopped into the Langham Huntington Hotel & Spa to snap some pics. The Langham has long been a Pasadena institution and it is an absolutely gorgeous place to spend an afternoon or grab an evening cocktail. It is also an oft-used Pasadena filming location and…

  • Going on Vacation!

    Going on Vacation!

    ‘ I am currently on vacation in L.A. with my family and will not be publishing any new blog posts for the next week or so.  Our trip is planned to last two weeks, but we are keeping things up in the air depending on how my dad is feeling.  I will definitely be back…

  • Oliver’s House from “A Lot Like Love”

    Oliver’s House from “A Lot Like Love”

    ‘ A Lot Like Love is a movie I can’t not watch.  Even though I’ve seen it at least a dozen times and own the DVD, if I happen to catch it on TV, need to scan through it for a post, or it pops up in my Netflix recommendations, I’m pretty much viewing it…

  • Lou Glutz Motors from “Vacation”

    Lou Glutz Motors from “Vacation”

    ‘ Fellow stalker Owen, of the When Write Is Wrong blog, recently embarked upon a mission to try to track down some of the unknown locations from one of his favorite movies, the 1983 classic Vacation.  He had quite a bit of success, too, managing to pinpoint two elusive spots, one of which was the…

  • Lester Siegel’s House from “Argo”

    Lester Siegel’s House from “Argo”

    ‘ Today’s post is the very first blog written from my new home in the desert. The Grim Cheaper and I moved last Wednesday (it took over 15 hours!) and are finally getting settled in to our Palm Springs pad. There is still quite a bit left to complete, though, and, while the hyper-organized/anal/OCD-side of…

  • My Coffee With Andre – Agassi, That Is!

    My Coffee With Andre – Agassi, That Is!

    ‘ A few years back, an email entitled “You Know You’re From Los Angeles When . . . “ which was comprised of a list of “Only in L.A.” scenarios circled the World Wide Web.   My personal favorite item on the list was number 28 which stated, “The guy at 8:30 in the morning at…

    Whitney’s NYC Pad

    ‘ I don’”‘”‘t know about you all, but I have been glued to my television set the past two Monday nights watching Whitney Port’”‘”‘s new Hills spinoff entitled The City. I must admit that the show has been quite lackluster and nowhere near as enthralling as The Hills, but I just can’”‘”‘t help myself. I…
