    Whoopsie!

    ‘ I bit off a bit more than I could chew with the post that I was planning on publishing today and unfortunately ran out of time and was unable to finish it.  I promise to get it done for tomorrow, though.  So, until then, Happy Stalking! ‘

  • The “Beautiful Girls” Bus Stop

    The “Beautiful Girls” Bus Stop

    ‘ The fourth and final Stillwater location that my family and I stalked while in Minnesota two weeks ago was the “Knight’s Ridge, Massachusetts” bus stop where Willie Conway (aka Timothy Hutton) was first dropped off upon returning home for his high school reunion at the very beginning of fave movie Beautiful Girls.  In real…

    The Former Site of the “Home Alone 2” Motel

    ‘ One Christmas location that I had been absolutely obsessed with finding for years was the supposed Miami, Florida-area motel where the McCallister family – minus Kevin (Macaulay Culkin), of course – stayed in the 1992 flick Home Alone 2: Lost in New York.  I had always assumed that the place was located in Miami,…

  • The Skyline Residence – Jacob’s House from “Crazy, Stupid, Love.”

    The Skyline Residence – Jacob’s House from “Crazy, Stupid, Love.”

    ‘ Back in August, I received an email from a fellow stalker named Brandon who wanted to let me know that he had tracked down the ultra-modern abode where Jacob Palmer (aka Ryan Gosling) lived in Crazy, Stupid, Love.  At the time I had yet to see the movie, but added the address to my…

  • Another Little Break!

    Another Little Break!

    ‘ I will be taking another little break this week – this time to (hopefully) recharge my batteries, which unfortunately did not end up happening during my time off earlier this month as there was just way too much going on, and to begin a new project which I am very excited about. And I…

    The Pantages Theatre

    ‘ As promised earlier in the week, I thought I would dedicate today’”‘”‘s post to the historic Pantages Theatre in Hollywood where I saw Dirty Dancing – The Classic Story On Stage  last Tuesday night .   And let me tell you, the Pantages Theatre is a site to see, in and of itself!  The Art Deco landmark was built in 1930 by…

    The “Keep It Together” Park from “Beverly Hills, 90210”

    ‘ Another location that Mike, from MovieShotsLA, and I visited during our Valley stalking day back in October was the Van Nuys – Sherman Oaks War Memorial Park, aka the spot where Brandon Walsh was “discovered” in the Season One episode of Beverly Hills, 90210 entitled “Fame Is Where You Find It”.    The War Memorial…

  • The First Beverly Hills House

    The First Beverly Hills House

    ‘ As I mentioned a couple of weeks ago, fellow stalker E.J., from The Movieland Directory website, recently published an e-book about Old Hollywood titled Unscripted: Hollywood Back-Stories, Volume 1 (which you can purchase on Nook here and on Kindle here).  I read the entire tome – which was fascinating, by the way – in…

    Antonio’s Pizzeria – A Shannen Doherty Fave

    ‘ Way back in September 2011, while the Grim Cheaper and I were out and about doing some stalking in the San Fernando Valley area, we happened to drive past Antonio’s Pizzeria and the GC suggested that we pop in.  He had dined at Antonio’s several times in the past and remembered that the place…

  • The Daily Dose Café from “Scandal”

    The Daily Dose Café from “Scandal”

    ‘ UPDATE – After closing and then reopening briefly as Café Société in 2018, this spot shuttered for good early last year.  It currently remains vacant. There’s pretty much nothing I love more than a cool coffee house.  So when Cupcakes and Cashmere blogger Emily Schuman wrote about the Daily Dose Café, a downtown Los…
