The Bel Age Hotel from “Beverly Hills, 90210”
‘ Ah, change. It’s one of my least favorite things, especially when it comes to filming locations.

JFK and Jackie’s Former Georgetown Homes
‘ Considering how much I love history, I know shockingly little about former President John F. Kennedy and his wife, Jacqueline. So I was thrilled when the Grim Cheaper gifted me with Jackie, Janet & Lee: The Secret Lives of Janet Auchincloss and Her Daughters Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis and Lee Radziwill last Christmas.

Killarney Market from Michael Buble’s “Haven’t Met You Yet” Video

The Franklin Institute from “National Treasure”
‘ I am not a fan of museums. Like at all. My dislike stems mainly from the fact that, if given the choice, I’d much prefer to be outdoors than indoors. There were quite a few on my list of must-see places in Philadelphia, though, including Eastern State Penitentiary (which I wouldn’t even really classify…

Hop Louie from “I Love You, Man”
‘ Los Angeles suffered numerous iconic restaurant closures in 2017 – Auntie Em’s Kitchen in Eagle Rock, Happy Trails Catering in Pasadena (I was particularly heartbroken over that one), and the Formosa Cafe in West Hollywood (though it is set to re-open this summer), just to name a few. 2017 also saw the final shuttering…
