    My Guide to L.A. – Coffee

    ‘ I love coffee pretty much more than life itself, but very rarely do I visit independent coffee houses.  I am all about my Starbucks.  I know, I know, true java aficionados are probably shaking their heads right now.  But I like consistency – I like knowing that I can go into any Starbucks in…

    Tracey Ross from “Beverly Hills, 90210”

    ‘ ‘Tis finally the season – the season for holiday-themed filming locations!  As is the case every year, because Christmas locales in the L.A. area are rather limited, I waited to start blogging about them until the end of December.  And I should mention here that my postings over the next two or three weeks…

  • The “Scream” Video Store

    The “Scream” Video Store

    ‘ Extremely nostalgic by nature, I was recently thinking about the demise of video stores and how many movies would suffer if made today because of it – movies like The Holiday, Clerks and, of course, Scream.  Without the scene set at Woodsboro’s local VHS rental spot in the latter, in which Randy Meeks (Jamie…
