    ‘ As I mentioned in last Wednesday’s post, fellow stalker Owen, of the When Write Is Wrong blog, recently got on a kick of tracking down missing locations from his all-time favorite comedy, the 1983 classic National Lampoon’s Vacation.  One of the locales he managed to find was the Town House Motel in Glendale, where…

    ‘ One Haunted Hollywood locale that I had wanted to stalk pretty much ever since first moving to Southern California in 2000 was the spot where the dismembered body of Elizabeth Short, aka the “Black Dahlia,” was found on the morning of January 15th, 1947.  Over six decades later and the case is still one…

    ‘ While watching the Season 5 episode of 90210 titled “Misery Loves Company” a few months back, I became just a wee bit mesmerized by the Hideaway, the biker bar where Naomi Clark (AnnaLynne McCord) and Adrianna Tate-Duncan (Jessica Lowndes) tried to track down Naomi’”‘”‘s lost wedding ring.  The series’ fabulous costume designer, Kime Buzzelli,…

    ‘ In Pretty Woman, Edward Lewis (Richard Gere) states that very few people surprise him.  I could say the same about filming locations.  One that did recently surprise me, though, was The Great Wall Chinese Restaurant in Reseda.  For years I had been under the impression that the engagement party scene from the 2009 comedy…
