    Hilton Pasadena from “The Bad News Bears in Breaking Training”

    ‘ I always love it when a filming location sneaks up on me.  This past weekend, the Grim Cheaper and I headed to Pasadena to attend the closing party for my favorite store, Lula Mae.  (Yes, you read that right – Lula Mae, my happy place, is, sadly, shuttering later this month.  While I am…

    Mercedes’ Apartment Building from “Larry Crowne”

    ‘ The only Larry Crowne filming location that fellow stalker Mike, from MovieShotsLA, did not track down was the mid-century-style apartment building where East Valley Community College professor Mercedes Tainot (aka Julia Roberts) – that’s “T-A-I-N-O-T, not Tae Bow, not Tai Chi, not Tie Knot” – lived with her philandering husband, Dean Tainot (aka Bryan…

    Imperial Western Beer Company from “Blast from the Past”

    ‘ I absolutely hate losing things – it is one of my biggest pet peeves, especially when the items can’t be replaced.  Such was the case with a group of photos I took of Union Station’s former Fred Harvey Restaurant back in June 2009.  Upon learning about the site and its appearance as the dance…
