    My Guide to L.A. – Bars

    ‘ When I lived in L.A., one of my favorite things to do was grab a drink with the Grim Cheaper at a different bar every Saturday night.  I loved discovering, cocktail in hand, the myriad of fabulous lounges the city has to offer, many of them historic.  That being said, I am in no…

    The Warner Grand Theatre

    ‘ This past Saturday, my family and I returned from Catalina Island via the Catalina Express high speed catamaran that docks in San Pedro Harbor.  When the captain announced that we had finally reached our destination, I suddenly realized that a filming location I have LONG been dying to stalk was actually located in the very city where we now found…

  • The “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition” Wrap Party

    The “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition” Wrap Party

    ‘ Two weekends ago, Pinky Lovejoy, of the Thinking Pink blog, invited me and the Grim Cheaper to do a little stalking of the wrap party for the hit ABC television series Extreme Makeover: Home Edition at a venue in Culver City.  The GC was not at all happy to receive Pinky’s invite, of course,…

    Only In L.A. . . .X

    ‘ Unfortunately, I don’t have a full blog to post today because it’s currently 11:15 p.m. and I just walked in the door after landing at LAX a few hours ago after spending a whirlwind weekend in the Pacific Northwest where I stalked for literally 72 hours straight with my good friend and fellow stalker…

    You’re Going to Hollywood, Dog!

    ‘ Got a from Hilary last week to find the apartment building that the Top 12 American Idols just moved into. This challenge was actually a slam dunk as a good friend of mine used to live in the Idols building. So I just called him up and got the address (Thanks, DH!) The Idols…

  • The “L.A. Story” Freeway Sign

    The “L.A. Story” Freeway Sign

    ‘ One locale that the Grim Cheaper suggested I track down a few years back – and that I have wondered about ever since – was the spot where the freeway sign from the 1991 classic comedy L.A. Story once stood.  Because it was a prop sign that was situated on a long expanse of…

    Hope and Michael’s House from “thirtysomething”

    ‘ I think Marshall Herskovitz and Edward Zwick are two of the greatest television producers ever to walk the face of the earth.  Oddly though, while I am obsessed with both My So-Called Life and Relativity (as evidenced here and here), I was never a fan of thirtysomething, one of their earliest forays into the…

  • The “30 Rock” Building

    The “30 Rock” Building

    ‘ One of the locales at the very top of this year’s New York vacation’s must-stalk list was the main building featured on my new favorite television show 30 Rock.  For some reason, until we rented the series earlier this past summer, neither my fiancé nor I had ever seen even a single episode of…

  • The 90210 Pilot Church

    The 90210 Pilot Church

    ‘ A few days ago I sent Mike, from MovieShotsLA, a screen capture of the church featured in the pilot episode of Beverly Hills, 90210. I had a hunch he might know where it was located – and, sure enough, he did! He immediately called me and said “That’”‘”‘s the Spiderman church!” as it was…

  • Nate ‘n Al’s Delicatessen

    Nate ‘n Al’s Delicatessen

    ‘ One location that I have been wanting to stalk for quite some time now is the historic Nate ‘n Al Delicatessen in Beverly Hills, but because I don’t get out to that area very often, the restaurant had remained an unchecked item on my extremely long “To-Stalk” list for over a year.  Until a…
