    The Grill on the Alley from “The Holiday”

    ‘ This past weekend, while wandering through my local Target with the Grim Cheaper, I happened to spot a DVD of fave movie The Holiday on sale for $3.99!  When I saw that the special features included a commentary with director Nancy Meyers and a making-of featurette, I just about flipped my lid and immediately…

  • New York Public Library

    New York Public Library

    ‘ Finally saw on Sunday! I literally could not sit still in my theatre seat until the movie began I was so excited!! I must say the movie was not as good as I hoped it would be. 🙁 There were parts I absolutely LOVED and times when I felt like I was visiting with…

  • More Dog!

    More Dog!

    ‘ Finally I am back online – with another Dog post. I swear, I was about ready to throw my stupid computer off the lanai I was so annoyed with the internet problems. LOL With getting bumped off the internet constantly, I literally think I have spent about three hours trying to complete this post.…

  • Non-Warner Bros. Studio Locations of “Pretty Little Liars”

    Non-Warner Bros. Studio Locations of “Pretty Little Liars”

    ‘ I have covered Pretty Little Liars locations ad nauseam on my blog, as well as on the other sites that I write for.  As I’ve mentioned in all of the posts, the series is lensed pretty much in its entirety at Warner Bros. Studio in Burbank (you can check out an extensive guide to…

  • The Knickerbocker Hotel

    The Knickerbocker Hotel

    ‘ I don’t think there is any property in Los Angeles, perhaps the world, that has seen as much glamour and as much tragedy as the former Knickerbocker Hotel in Hollywood.  Today, the Renaissance Revival/Beau Arts-style structure, which was once dubbed “The Hotel to the Stars,” serves as a retirement home.  And oh, if those…

  • The California Colonic Institution from “L.A. Story”

    The California Colonic Institution from “L.A. Story”

    ‘ When I began my search for all of the missing L.A Story locations a few weeks back, I emailed about a million-and-a-half screen captures to fellow stalker Mike, from MovieShotsLA, in the hopes that he would be so inclined to help me out with the hunt.  Thankfully, he was.  One locale that we found…

  • Darryl’s House from “The Office”

    Darryl’s House from “The Office”

    ‘ This past weekend I dragged the Grim Cheaper out to the San Fernando Valley to do some stalking of the home belonging to Darryl Philbin (aka Craig Robinson) on fave show The Office. Fellow stalker Owen had actually tracked this location down well over a year ago and it is, ironically enough, located directly…

  • The Possible Interior of O’Hara’s Pub from “Bad Santa”

    The Possible Interior of O’Hara’s Pub from “Bad Santa”

    ‘ As I mentioned in last Tuesday’s post, thanks to fellow stalker Owen, of the When Write Is Wrong blog, I am fairly certain that I have managed to find the bar that was used as the interior of O’Hara’s Pub in the 2003 comedy Bad Santa.  When Owen heard about my quest to track…

  • The ” . . . Baby One More Time” Costume

    The ” . . . Baby One More Time” Costume

    ‘ One of the most important items on my Stalking Bucket List was checked off last week while the Grim Cheaper and I were in Las Vegas.  Way back in October 2010 (while doing research for this post), I learned that Britney Spears’ schoolgirl costume from her 1998 “ . . . Baby One More…

  • Spadra Cemetery

    Spadra Cemetery

    ‘ Finding the words “ghost town” used to describe a cemetery is likely to cause my head to start spinning.  Which is exactly what happened while I was doing some research on abandoned locales for an upcoming Discover Los Angeles post.  I happened to come across an article on the Avoiding Regret blog about a…
