  • The Cat & Fiddle

    The Cat & Fiddle

    ‘ We’ll always have the Cat & Fiddle.  Or so Angelinos thought.  Sadly, the historic restaurant closed its doors this past December.  When news of the impending shuttering hit the blogosphere in late October, I became desperate to stalk the eatery – especially once I read via several online news outlets that it had appeared…

  • The “A Few Good Men” Softball Field

    The “A Few Good Men” Softball Field

    ‘ I don’t know – or care – much about sports.  I do love me some Tom Cruise, though.  So when my friend/fellow stalker Owen, from the When Write Is Wrong blog, sent me his list of Washington, D.C./Philadelphia-area locales prior to my trip back east last September, I was thrilled to see the softball…

  • The Bel Air Hotel

    The Bel Air Hotel

    ‘ In honor of the eagerly anticipated issue of New York Magazine that hits newsstands tomorrow, in which Lindsay Lohan recreates Marilyn Monroe’”‘”‘s very last photo shoot, I thought I’”‘”‘d blog about the Hotel Bel-Air. Photographer Bert Stern held both the 1962 Marilyn Monroe photo shoot and the recent Lindsay Lohan shoot at the Hotel…

  • The “Beaches” Mansion vs. The “Starsky & Hutch” Mansion

    The “Beaches” Mansion vs. The “Starsky & Hutch” Mansion

    ‘ Two weeks ago, fellow stalker Jenny left a comment on my post about the long-sought-after Beaches mansion in which she mentioned that the very same residence had also been used in both 1983’s Mr. Mom and 1987’s Who’s That Girl.  Ironically enough, I had received virtually that same exact comment from a fellow stalker…

  • 7th Heaven

    7th Heaven

    ‘ My aunt Lea recently asked me to find the location of the Glen Oak Community Church from the TV show 7th Heaven. This location was featured in my go-to stalking book and I ran right out to stalk it this past weekend. Reverend Eric Camden’”‘”‘s church, which was shown prominently throughout 7th Heaven’”‘”‘s ten…

  • The “George Lopez” House

    The “George Lopez” House

    ‘ The Grim Cheaper and I watch a LOT of television – something I’ve mentioned many times on this blog.  Somehow we still miss quite a few shows, though, like George Lopez which ran on ABC from 2002 to 2007.  Nonetheless, when a fellow stalker named Jonathan emailed me back in 2016 to let me…

  • Moonlight Rollerway- The Roller Skating Rink from “Glee”

    Moonlight Rollerway- The Roller Skating Rink from “Glee”

    ‘ One location that I have been dying to stalk for months now is Rinky Dinks, the cabaret/roller rink owned by April Rhodes (aka Kristin Chenoweth) in the Season 1 episode of Glee titled “Home”.  On a quick Glee side note, I just have to say that I was not at all happy with last…

  • The Waterfront Beach Resort from “Rosewood”

    The Waterfront Beach Resort from “Rosewood”

    ‘ It is such a shame when a favorite show jumps the shark.  If its latest episode, titled “Amparo & the American Dream,” is any indication, that fate seems to have befallen Rosewood, the FOX procedural currently in its second season.  While I was all in with the recent storyline centering around Captain Ryan Slade…

  • Patterson’s Appliances from “That Thing You Do!”

    Patterson’s Appliances from “That Thing You Do!”

    ‘ After stalking the downtown Orange spot where the That Thing You Do! mailbox scene was filmed (which I blogged about yesterday), I dragged the Grim Cheaper just a few feet south to stalk the storefront that was used as Patterson’s Appliances, drummer Guy Patterson’s (Tom Everett Scott) family’s shop, in the 1996 flick.  Thank…

  • The “L.A. Story” Freeway Sign

    The “L.A. Story” Freeway Sign

    ‘ One locale that the Grim Cheaper suggested I track down a few years back – and that I have wondered about ever since – was the spot where the freeway sign from the 1991 classic comedy L.A. Story once stood.  Because it was a prop sign that was situated on a long expanse of…
