    The Old Place Restaurant from “Twin Peaks”

    ‘ A couple of weeks ago, I received an email from a fellow stalker named Brad who runs a website named Brad D Studios where, among other things, he chronicles filming locations from David Lynch productions.  I spent the next few hours perusing Brad’s site and was ABSOLUTELY SHOCKED to discover that every episode of…

    Slacking Off Again!

    ‘ I hate to do this AGAIN this week, but because I spent all day yesterday in Palm Springs with my dad – doing the final walk-through of my parents’ new house!!! – I did not have time to write a new blog post for today.  I came so very close to finishing the post…

  • Paramount Studios – The Fifth Time Around

    Paramount Studios – The Fifth Time Around

    ‘ This past Tuesday, my good friend and fellow stalker Kerry and her daughter Jen and I embarked on a tour of Paramount Studios in Hollywood.  While it was Kerry and Jen’s very first time visiting the historic lot, it was actually my fifth – I had previously been on three paid tours and one wedding…

  • The Blind Donkey from “Revenge”

    The Blind Donkey from “Revenge”

    ‘ I stalk so many places, typically in quick succession, that oftentimes a few get lost in the shuffle.  Such was the case with The Blind Donkey, an Old Town Pasadena whiskey bar that I visited back in April, shortly before the Grim Cheaper and I headed off to New York, and then promptly forgot…

  • Rainbow Bar and Grill – the Site of Joe DiMaggio and Marilyn Monroe’s First Date

    Rainbow Bar and Grill – the Site of Joe DiMaggio and Marilyn Monroe’s First Date

    ‘ One locale that I had long heard mentioned repeatedly in the various books and articles I had read about my girl Miss Marilyn Monroe over the years was the Sunset Strip’s Rainbow Bar and Grill – where Joe DiMaggio took the starlet for their very first date.  At the time, the establishment was known…

  • Storrier Stearns Japanese Garden from “Pure Genius”

    Storrier Stearns Japanese Garden from “Pure Genius”

    ‘ The Grim Cheaper and I are finally getting around to landscaping the backyard of our new house, so to say I’m into gardens lately would be an understatement.  If I knew how to use Pinterest (I swear I cannot figure that site out), I’d be pinning foliage design ideas left and right.  Instead I’ve…

  • The Interior of the “Bruce Almighty” Party House

    The Interior of the “Bruce Almighty” Party House

    ‘ In honor of my girl Jen Aniston receiving the 2,642nd star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame today (a ceremony that I will actually not be attending because, after the debacle that was the Horrible Bosses premiere this past summer, I have a severe aversion to any event that has the potential of being…

  • The Bates Motel

    The Bates Motel

    ‘ Today’s location would be better suited for a Haunted Hollywood post, but because it is set to be torn down by the end of the year, I figured time was of the essence.  While spending the week in L.A. last month with my good buddies Kim and Katie (that’s Katie pictured above), a friend…

  • Mitch Hiller’s House from “Enough”

    Mitch Hiller’s House from “Enough”

    ‘ One location that I have been absolutely obsessed with for what seems like ages now is the ultra-modern beach house where Mitch Hiller (Billy Campbell) lived in the 2002 thriller Enough – which I just recently discovered is the very same spot that stands in for the exterior of the Indianapolis loft belonging to…

  • The Who’s the Boss House

    The Who’s the Boss House

    ‘ One location that I will, sadly, not be able to stalk during this year’s New York vacation for the simple fact that it is located too far from the island of Manhattan is the home belonging to the Bower Family in the 1984 television sitcom Who’s the Boss?  But thankfully, fellow stalker Owen visited…
