    My Guide to L.A. – See

    ‘ Today marks the end of my Guide to L.A. posts.  I hope you had as much fun reading the series as I did putting it together.  As I mentioned in yesterday’s article, to make things easier on myself I broke up my Things to Do recommendations into two categories, “Play” and “See,” though some…

    Where You Are Almost Guaranteed A Britney Sighting!

    ‘ Ever since she shimmied down a hallway in her video (which was filmed entirely at Venice High School, by the way) I have been obsessed with BritBrit.  I can’”‘”‘t tell you how many times I have dressed up as Britney for Halloween!  And I was even an extra in the Britney Spears movie!  Nowadays Britney…

    Happy Memorial Day!

    ‘ A very happy Memorial Day to my fellow stalkers.  I hope we all take time today to remember the reason behind the holiday – to honor those who lost their lives protecting our freedoms.  I am taking the day off, but will be back tomorrow with a giveaway.   Until then, Happy Stalking! ‘

    Dennis Feinstein Headquarters from “Parks and Recreation”

    ‘ Though I chronicled the main locations used on Parks and Recreation pretty extensively for Los Angeles magazine in March, I still have a few of the series’ less prominent locales stockpiled in my backlog and figured it was about time that I covered them.  While watching the Season 7 episode titled “Save JJ’s,” I…

    Mr. Hart’s Mansion from “Nine to Five”

    ‘ One of my favorite movies growing up was the 1980 comedy Nine to Five.  I would watch it on an almost daily basis (no joke!) and practically had the thing memorized.  I can still belt out the theme song to this day, in fact.  (I am guessing the majority of my fellow stalkers can,…

  • Olvera Street

    Olvera Street

    ‘ This weekend I dragged my boyfriend and my parents out to stalk a street that is known as the “birthplace of Los Angeles”.  The historic Olvera Street outdoor marketplace has long been a popular tourist attraction and filming location.  But its history began over 200 years ago when the area was built by early Spanish settlers.  At…

    Rickie’s Alley from the “So-Called Angels” Episode of “My So-Called Life”

    ‘ As I have mentioned quite a few times in recent months, I just finished re-watching fave television series My So-Called Life from the beginning.  And I have to say that when I came to the final episode, it was a very bittersweet moment for me as it brought up all of the same sad…

    L.A. Vacay

    ‘ I am heading to L.A. today and staying through the weekend – my favorite weekend of the year.  Yep, it’s that time again – time for the Academy Awards.  I am SO excited and am not even going to let the torrential rain that is supposed to be falling the entire time we are…

    The “13 Going On 30” Houses

    ‘ If someone asked me what movie most closely resembles my life, I would have to say 13 Going On 30. I am definitely a child of the 80s, I still dress like a 13 year old most of the time, and I’”‘”‘ve been known to do the Thriller Dance at a few parties, so it’”‘”‘s only natural…
