  • Daisie Villa’s Houseboat from “Rosewood”

    Daisie Villa’s Houseboat from “Rosewood”

    ‘ While I love the ocean, the thought of living on a houseboat has never appealed to me – that is until I caught a glimpse of the idyllic floating home belonging to Daisie Villa (Lisa Vidal) on the recently cancelled Fox procedural Rosewood.  I became obsessed with the charming structure upon first seeing it…

  • The Adamson House

    The Adamson House

    ‘ I spent all last week on the hunt for a location from my fave 90s TV show Beverly Hills, 90210.  The spot I was looking for was the location that stood in for Baja, Mexico in the Season 2 episode entitled “Mexican Standoff”.  In the episode, Brenda sneaks off to a Mexican resort town for the weekend with Dylan without telling…

  • Happy Fourth of July!

    Happy Fourth of July!

    ‘ I will be taking the next couple of days off from blogging in order to celebrate the Fourth of July weekend with the Grim Cheaper and Mike, from MovieShotsLA, who is in town for a  visit.  (Yay!)  I know, I know – I just got back from a two-week vacation!  But such is life.…

  • Taking a Couple of Days Off

    Taking a Couple of Days Off

    ‘ My mom is having surgery in L.A. today and I am heading out there to be with her, so I will be taking the next couple of days off.  Be sure not to miss my L.A. mag post on Thursday, though, which is the start of my Haunted Hollywood postings!  I will also have…

  • The “L.A. Story” Intersection

    The “L.A. Story” Intersection

    ‘ The locale from L.A. Story that I was most interested in tracking down was also the one that I thought for sure I would never find – the intersection featured in the movie’s opening montage.  Because the intersection was fairly non-descript, only shown briefly and no clues as to its location visible in the…

  • The SmokeHouse Restaurant from “Lucifer”

    The SmokeHouse Restaurant from “Lucifer”

    ‘ Hollywood loves a redux.  So do I, apparently, because here I am yet again with yet another location re-do!  (For those who missed it, I penned a second post on the Simpson family home from She’s Out of Control last week.)  Today’s blog is actually my third go-around with this particular spot (you can…

  • The Millennium Biltmore Hotel’s South Galleria from “The West Wing”

    The Millennium Biltmore Hotel’s South Galleria from “The West Wing”

    ‘ The Millennium Biltmore Los Angeles is a rare bird when it comes to filming locations in that virtually every square inch of it has appeared onscreen – and I’m talking in multiple major productions!  This factoid fascinates me and I thought it would be fun to cover in an in-depth article, so a few…

  • Andy’s Coffee Shop from the “Cups” Music Video

    Andy’s Coffee Shop from the “Cups” Music Video

    ‘ There is nothing my mom likes better than a greasy spoon-type restaurant.  She is a virtual expert on seeking them out – whether near our home, while on vacation somewhere, or passing through a town.  So imagine my shock when I recently learned about Andy’s Coffee Shop, a small greasy spoon that has been…

  • The “Empty Nest” House

    The “Empty Nest” House

    ‘ Today’s post is a looooooong-time coming, friends! Easily the location I get asked to track down most often is the supposed Miami, Florida-area house where Dr. Harry Weston (Richard Mulligan) lived on the television series Empty Nest. I have searched for the contemporary two-story residence off-and-on over the years, but never had any luck. …

  • The “Good Luck Charlie” House

    The “Good Luck Charlie” House

    ‘ During the lengthy process of researching the Melissa & Joey house (which many viewers seem to think has been used on another series – you can read my blog on it here), I came across a post on Julia Sweeten’s fabulous website, Hooked on Houses, about the residence where the Duncan family – dad…
