    Imperial Western Beer Company from “Blast from the Past”

    ‘ I absolutely hate losing things – it is one of my biggest pet peeves, especially when the items can’t be replaced.  Such was the case with a group of photos I took of Union Station’s former Fred Harvey Restaurant back in June 2009.  Upon learning about the site and its appearance as the dance…

    Malibu Café at Calamigos Ranch

    ‘ The Grim Cheaper and I recently headed out to the ‘Bu to grab a bite to eat at the Malibu Café at Calamigos Ranch and walked away with not only a new favorite restaurant, but an addition to my Must-Stalk List.  Mike, from MovieShotsLA, had told me about Calamigos Ranch years ago because of…

    Demitasse Café from “Bosch”

    ‘ I hope all of my fellow stalkers had a fun and safe Halloween.  For this year’s festivities, the Grim Cheaper and I headed over to our neighbor’s house for an amazing party (the decorations were like nothing I have ever seen!) and had an absolute blast.  Our 2018 costumes were, per usual, celebrity-inspired.  Unusual…
