  • Another Desert Weekend

    Another Desert Weekend

    ‘ The Grim Cheaper and I took off for the desert again this past weekend, so I, unfortunately, was not able to write a new post for today.  But I do promise to be back tomorrow with a whole new location. Until next time, Happy Stalking! ‘

  • Phil’s Diner from “The X-Files”

    Phil’s Diner from “The X-Files”

    ‘ When I was in L.A. last week, Mike, from MovieShotsLA, and I spent two full days stalking.  Our adventures took us from one end of Los Angeles to the other.  At one point, while in North Hollywood, we passed by Phil’s Diner at 5230 Lankershim Boulevard and stopped to snap some pics.  I figured…

  • Voletta Wallace’s House from “Unsolved: The Murders of Tupac & the Notorious B.I.G.”

    Voletta Wallace’s House from “Unsolved: The Murders of Tupac & the Notorious B.I.G.”

    ‘ I have never been a fan of rap.  My musical tastes tend to run far more tepid (read: Michael Bublé, Michael Jackson, Britney Spears, and ‘80s pop).  The Grim Cheaper likes to joke that my iPod song list hasn’t been updated since I first got the device back in 2001.  Regardless, when I heard…

  • Seinfeld’s Apartment

    Seinfeld’s Apartment

    ‘ Like most filming locations, the site used as Jerry’”‘”‘s apartment building on the hit TV show Seinfeld, can actually be found in Los Angeles, not Manhattan.  It is a nondescript little building that actually does look very reminiscent of New York.  I didn’”‘”‘t recognize the building in person, until I looked at it through the viewfinder of my camera, and…

  • Frances’ House from “Behind the Candelabra”

    Frances’ House from “Behind the Candelabra”

    ‘ One Behind the Candelabra location that I was not able to stalk two weekends ago was the palatial Palm Springs abode belonging to Frances Liberace (Debbie Reynolds), the flamboyant pianist’s overbearing mother, in the 2013 HBO biopic.  So I dragged the Grim Cheaper right on out to do so this past Saturday morning.  And,…

  • Fatso’s Drive-In from “The Wonder Years”

    Fatso’s Drive-In from “The Wonder Years”

    ‘ UPDATE – The Wonder Years is coming to DVD for the first time ever in October!  The 26-disc boxed set includes all six seasons of the show, plus a cast reunion segment, over 15 hours of bonus footage, a collectible metal locker, two production booklets packed with behind-the-scenes information, a replica yearbook, and Wonder Years…

  • Nate Archibald’s Townhouse

    Nate Archibald’s Townhouse

    ‘ Rather than suffer through the re-run abyss airing on most television networks this past summer, my fiance and I instead decided to purchase and watch the first two seasons of the hit CW series Gossip Girl, which neither of us had ever before seen.  Even though Mike, from MovieShotsLA, had been telling me for months that I would love the show,…

  • Mike, from MovieShotsLA, Gets Up Close & Personal with the “Back to the Future” DeLorean

    Mike, from MovieShotsLA, Gets Up Close & Personal with the “Back to the Future” DeLorean

    ‘ This past Friday afternoon, Mike, from MovieShotsLA, had a definite “Only in L.A.” moment when he looked out of his office window and noticed the Back to the Future DeLorean parked in the lot outside!  After having a minor heart attack, he flew right out of his seat and immediately ran outside to snap…

  • Location Scout-ing!

    Location Scout-ing!

    ‘ While in New York, I just had to take a jaunt over to the real life bar which stood in for Scout, the watering hole owned by Carrie and Miranda’”‘”‘s exes, Steve and Aiden, on Sex and the City. The bar first showed up in the Season Four episode entitled “Ghost Town”, in which…

  • Jen’s House from “Dead to Me”

    Jen’s House from “Dead to Me”

    ‘ The Grim Cheaper and I admittedly become obsessed with a lot of shows.  But it is a rare occasion (at least as of late) to find ourselves consumed by a series filmed entirely in L.A. (Bosch and Brooklyn Nine-Nine notwithstanding).  Darn runaway production!  So I was ecstatic to discover the thrilling, hilarious AND locally…
