  • Disney’s Grand Central Air Terminal

    Disney’s Grand Central Air Terminal

    ‘ I am one of the few people lamenting the upcoming opening of Disneyland’s Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge.  Though renderings certainly look cool (it is Disney, after all!), I fear the massive crowds the new 14-acre land is expected to draw are going to ruin the park.  The Happiest Place on Earth is crowded enough! …

  • Jessica’s House from “Crazy, Stupid, Love.”

    Jessica’s House from “Crazy, Stupid, Love.”

    ‘ Another Crazy, Stupid, Love. location that I stalked recently was the residence where the Riley family – babysitter Jessica (aka Analeigh Tipton) and her parents, Bernie (aka John Carroll Lynch) and Claire (aka Beth Littleford) – lived.  And I just have to say here that now that the flick has been released on DVD,…

  • Ambassador College from “That Thing You Do!”

    Ambassador College from “That Thing You Do!”

    ‘ All historic structures in the Los Angeles area with the word “ambassador” in their name seem to be doomed.  The famed Ambassador Hotel, which once stood at 3400 Wilshire Boulevard in Koreatown, was razed in 2005.  And the former Ambassador College, at 131 South St. John Avenue in Pasadena, was largely demolished beginning in…

  • Mary See’s Former House

    Mary See’s Former House

    ‘ Another location that I was reminded of while taking the Scott’s L.A. Audio Driving Tour of Pasadena this past week was the Craftsman-style residence where Mary See and her son Charles, founders of See’s Famous Old Time Candies, lived in the 1920s during the time when the legendary chocolate company was first established.  Because…

  • My Guide to Palm Springs – Restaurants

    My Guide to Palm Springs – Restaurants

    ‘ As I’ve mentioned many times on this blog, I am in no way a foodie, preferring chicken strips and ranch dressing to foie gras and jus.  My Guide to Palm Springs – Restaurants will reflect that.  Here you’ll find the best of the best comfort food, down home cooking, delis, and cafés, with a…

  • The Hungry Fox Restaurant from “The Office”

    The Hungry Fox Restaurant from “The Office”

    ‘ Another location that I stalked back in April while fellow stalker Lavonna and her daughter Melissa were in town was the Hungry Fox Restaurant, which appeared in the Season 3 episode of The Office titled “The Negotiation”.  We found this location thanks to fellow stalker “Snidely Whiplash”, who posted a comment on my site…

  • Lindsay Lohan’s Former Venice Home

    Lindsay Lohan’s Former Venice Home

    ‘ I had originally planned on writing about a different location for today’s post, but last night, when the Grim Cheaper and I sat down to watch Oprah Winfrey interview Lindsay Lohan on Oprah’s Next Chapter, I was reminded of a LiLo locale that I had stalked last November – the Venice Beach house where…

  • The “Grey’s Anatomy” House

    The “Grey’s Anatomy” House

    ‘ Another location that my good friend and fellow stalker Kerry took me to stalk while I was visiting the Pacific Northwest earlier this year was the Seattle-area home owned by Meredith Grey (aka Ellen Pompeo) on the long-running television series Grey’s Anatomy.  I’ve only actually ever seen one episode of the show – the…

  • The Yellow Vase Café from “90210”

    The Yellow Vase Café from “90210”

    ‘ One location that I have been on the lookout for for over a year now is the yellow-hued coffee shop where Navid Shirazi (aka Michael Steger) ran into ex-girlfriend Adrianna Tate-Duncan (aka Jessica Lowndes) in the Season 2 episode of fave show 90210 titled “Another Another Chance”.  I spent far more hours searching for…

  • The “Burning Love” Mansion

    The “Burning Love” Mansion

    ‘ This past February, thanks to Reality Steve and the E! Channel, I was introduced to the brilliance that is the Ben Stiller-produced parody of The Bachelor titled Burning Love. The Hose Ceremonies along with the catchphrase “Will you accept my hose?” are pure comic genius! The last time I found myself laughing so much…
