Peter and Elizabeth’s House from “White Collar”
‘ The Grim Cheaper and I have yet to watch the final season of White Collar, despite the fact that it aired almost a full two years ago. We became hooked on the USA series back in 2011 after I attended a screening/Q&A with the cast – so hooked that we were devastated when its…

The Poppa’s Popcorn House!
‘ Quite a few months back, I challenged Mike, from MovieShotsLA, to find the house the Ashe family moved into in the Season 2 episode of Beverly Hills, 90210 entitled “Ashes to Ashes”. In the episode, the African-American family moves in to a home just down the street from the Walshes, causing quite a stir in their…

Candace’s Rental from “You”
‘ Though Anavrin was by far my favorite locale from the second season of the Netflix series You, I was also pretty darn smitten with the charming Victorian that Candace Stone (Ambyr Childers) rented during her stay in Los Angeles while posing as Amy Adam.

My Guide to Palm Springs – Cocktails
‘ Palm Springs has long been a playground of the show business elite, largely because back in the days of Old Hollywood, the studios required their stars to always be within a two-hour drive from Los Angeles.

The “Perfect Strangers” Apartment Building
‘ A few weeks ago, while perusing fave book Marilyn Monroe Dyed Here: More Locations of America’s Pop Culture Landmarks by Chris Epting (which was gifted to me by fellow stalker Lavonna – thanks, Lavonna! ), I came across a blurb about the supposed Chicago, Illinois-area apartment building where Balki Bartokomous (Bronson Pinchot) and “Cousin…

A Weekend in Newport
‘ My parents, the GC and I headed down to Newport Beach for the weekend to celebrate my dad’s birthday. We stayed at the Balboa Bay Club, which, as you can see above, was decorated quite beautifully for Christmas. If you are in the area, I HIGHLY recommend stopping by to see their lights. Anyway,…

Halloween 2017
‘ I’ve made no secret of my love for Big Little Lies over the past couple of months (you can read my many posts on its filming locations here, here, here, and here), so it should come as no surprise that the HBO miniseries figured into my and the Grim Cheaper’s 2017 Halloween costumes. Interestingly…

Our Wedding Photographer – Rob Greer
‘ Deciding the order in which to publish the various blog posts that I am planning to write about the different movie/filming location elements of my wedding has proved to be a bit of a challenge for me. Today’s entry was originally going to be about our invitations, but then I realized that I can’t…
