    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…

  • Café-Club Fais Do-Do from “Crossroads”

    Café-Club Fais Do-Do from “Crossroads”

    ‘ One location that I blogged about way back in March of 2009 and had been dying to re-stalk ever since – in order to snap some interior pictures – was Café-Club Fais Do-Do, the supposed New-Orleans-area karaoke bar that appeared in the 2002 movie Crossroads.  (For those who did not catch my original post…

  • The Filming Locations of “Big Little Lies” Season 2 – “What Have They Done”

    The Filming Locations of “Big Little Lies” Season 2 – “What Have They Done”

    ‘ I’ve made no secret of my apathy for the second season of Big Little Lies.  But I was, of course, still entranced by its locations, which I’ve been obsessively IDing ever since episode 1 aired in early June.  So I figure it is only appropriate to follow up my complete guide to the locales…

  • George Nader’s Former Home

    George Nader’s Former Home

    ‘ Earlier this year, while doing research on the various Coachella Valley-area houses formerly owned by pianist Liberace, I came across a blurb in fave book Palm Springs Confidential about the city’s first ever triple homicide, which took place in a Las Palmas Estates residence that once belonged to actor George Nader.  After wiping the…

    Happy Thanksgiving!

    ‘ I would like to wish all of my fellow stalkers a very happy Thanksgiving holiday.  I am taking today as well as the rest of the week off to be with my family.  I will be back on Monday with a whole new post.  Until then, Happy Stalking! ‘

  • The Smallest Park from “Parks and Recreation”

    The Smallest Park from “Parks and Recreation”

    ‘ I just recently finished watching Season 4 of fave new show Parks and Recreation (and yes, I was devastated when I came to the end of the last episode being that I now have to wait until September to watch a new one!) and can honestly say that the episode titled “Smallest Park” had…

  • Alfred Coffee & Kitchen

    Alfred Coffee & Kitchen

    ‘ At one point last year, I mentioned that I would occasionally be blogging about stalk-worthy locales that do not have a film connection.  Today’s post chronicles one of those places.  A few months ago, fellow stalkers Becky and Anushika told me about Alfred Coffee & Kitchen, a quaint West Hollywood café that they thought…

  • The Apthorp from “Funny Farm”

    The Apthorp from “Funny Farm”

    ‘ I am the first to admit that, though I am not a natural towhead, I am a dumb blonde through and through.  The Grim Cheaper often kids that all of the hair dye I’ve used over the years has obviously gone to my brain.  Case in point – during a 2008 trip to New…

  • The Dresden Restaurant

    The Dresden Restaurant

    ‘ A couple of months ago I was flipping through one of my favorite stalking tomes, Hollywood Escapes: The Moviegoer’s Guide to Exploring Southern California’s Great Outdoors, when I came across a blurb written about the legendary Dresden Restaurant in Hollywood.  And while I had actually eaten at the Dresden once before upon first moving…

  • Yamashiro Restaurant – Looking Down on All of Hollywood!

    Yamashiro Restaurant – Looking Down on All of Hollywood!

    ‘ On Saturday, my boyfriend took me to dinner at a former Japanese palace called Yamashiro, located in Hollywood – 250 feet above Hollywood Boulevard, to be exact. The restaurant has the most amazing views of Hollywood and surrounding LA that I have ever seen and it was a pretty incredible place to spend an…
