The Former Menendez Family Home
‘ Just around the corner from Vincente Minnelli’s former abandoned mansion (which I blogged about yesterday) is the palatial Elm Drive residence where on August 20th, 1989, brothers Lyle and Erik Menendez (then 22- and 19-years-old, respectively) shot and killed their parents, entertainment company executive Jose and housewife Mary Louise, aka “Kitty.” (I honestly cannot…

The Los Angeles Marriott Burbank Airport Hotel from “The Office”
‘ I typically have the memory of an elephant, but up until the Grim Cheaper and I recently started re-watching The Office over again from the beginning, I had honestly forgotten what a great show it is. I had also forgotten that several locations from it remain unknown and/or undocumented. One that I recognized immediately…

A Much-Needed Vacay!
‘ The Grim Cheaper and I are embarking upon a much-needed vacay – a real vacation, yahoo! – this morning, so I will be taking the entire next week and the following Monday off from blogging. But I will be back on Tuesday, August 14th with a whole new location. I would also like to…

Cindy’s Restaurant from “Surviving Christmas”
‘ I have made no secret of the fact that I majorly ration Christmas locations from year to year. The sad truth is that few holiday flicks are lensed in the L.A. area (the city’s constant sunshine and lack of snow doesn’t exactly scream “Noel!”), which translates to a very minimal amount of holiday locales. …

‘ I do not have a new guide for today (these posts are killing me, I swear!), but be sure to check back tomorrow for a list of my favorite places to grab a cocktail in Los Angeles. In the meantime, check out my latest Discover L.A. post about beaches that have appeared onscreen. ‘

Today’s “Los Angeles” Magazine Post – The Disney Garage
‘ Sorry to have been M.I.A. for the past couple of days. I was visiting L.A. and had the most amazing time! The trip even included a surprise makeover for a new reality show (which I promise to blog about at a later date). There was, unfortunately, no time for blogging, though, but I will…

The Administration Building, Treasure Island from “The Parent Trap”
‘ The stalking itinerary for my October 2016 trip to Northern California was extremely Scream-centric. So much so that I did not really do any research on area locales from other productions. But life threw a pleasant surprise my way shortly after I arrived in the City by the Bay. Upon landing at SFO, my…

Hoose Library of Philosophy from “What Women Want”
‘ Those who were impressed by Doheny Memorial Library from Matilda (which I blogged about last November), wait ‘til you get a load of today’s locale! It’s yet another stunning athenaeum on the University of Southern California campus. Named the Hoose Library of Philosophy, it boasts some of the most remarkable architecture I have ever…

Chez Cherie Cooking School from “I Love New York”
‘ This year for Christmas, I decided to gift the Grim Cheaper with tickets to a cooking class. The GC is an absolutely FABULOUS cook, while I, on the other hand, can hardly crack an egg, as I mentioned in my January 2010 post about the home where Julia Child grew up. So I thought…

The Walt Disney Family Museum in San Francisco
‘ Last Sunday morning, after checking out of the spectacular San Francisco loft where my bachelorette party was held, my friend Nat and I headed over to the historic former Presidio Army Base to stalk the recently-opened Walt Disney Family Museum. Knowing what a Disney freak I am, Nat figured that the museum would be…
