Touring the WB Ranch
‘ My good friends Lavonna and Kim are in town this week visiting from Ohio and we spent all day yesterday touring various studios, including one of my personal favorites – the Warner Bros. Ranch. So I, unfortunately, did not have time to write a new post for today. But I will be back tomorrow…

Bowfinger International Pictures from “Bowfinger”
‘ I am a sucker for any movie about Los Angeles. Coincidentally (or perhaps no so coincidentally), Steve Martin has written and starred in two of my favorites – L.A. Story and Bowfinger. Two completely different takes on life in LaLaLand, but both equally valid and poignant. Because I originally moved to Southern California to…

My Guide to L.A. – Hotels
‘ I am constantly told that I would make a great concierge for the city of Los Angeles. I have explored L.A. so much over the years that I know it like the back of my hand and have accumulated a large inventory of favorite places. I recently decided to corral that inventory into a…

Happy Memorial Day!
‘ I am taking today off for Memorial Day, but will be back tomorrow with a whole new post. I hope all of my fellow stalkers are enjoying their three-day weekends and taking a moment to remember those soldiers who lost their lives while fighting for our country. Until next time, Happy Stalking! 🙂 ‘

‘ Be sure to check out my latest Los Angeles magazine article, about The Coffee Roaster from The Simpsons’ very first animated sequence! ‘

The “Portal” Light Installation
‘ Today’s locale can be filed in the hidden-gem-that-is-not-a-filming-location category, much like the Barthman Sidewalk Clock in New York. (Well, it’”‘”‘s not really a filming location, but more on that in a bit.) This one is located in Los Angeles, though, and is a definite must-see under-the-radar spot. Looking back, I can’t remember how I…

The Tam O’Shanter Inn from “Glee”
‘ A couple of weeks ago I dragged my fiancé out to stalk the Tam O’Shanter Inn which appeared in the Season 1 episode of Glee titled “Dream On”. I found this location thanks to an eagle-eyed stalker who recognized the restaurant immediately while watching the episode back in May. And even though I no…

The Bates Motel
‘ Today’s location would be better suited for a Haunted Hollywood post, but because it is set to be torn down by the end of the year, I figured time was of the essence. While spending the week in L.A. last month with my good buddies Kim and Katie (that’s Katie pictured above), a friend…

The McGinley Residence – Where Robert F. Kennedy Is Said to Have Spent His Last Night
‘ Another Lafayette Square-area home that was mentioned in the “Affairs of Estate” article that I blogged about yesterday was the property located at 1821 South Victoria Avenue, where, according to author Ann Herold, Robert F. Kennedy spent the last night of his life. And while that assertion would be extremely hard to prove (and…

Elliott Bay Cafe – The Inspiration for Cafe Nervosa on “Frasier”
‘ Another location that I stalked while visiting the Pacific Northwest this past May was Elliott Bay Cafe – the Seattle-area coffee shop that was the inspiration for Cafe Nervosa on the hit television series Frasier. I first learned about this location from my good friend Nat, who in turn learned about it a few…
