    ‘ Another That Thing You Do! locale that I dragged the Grim Cheaper out to stalk while the two of us were in the city of Orange in early October was Watson Drugs and Soda Fountain, which popped up twice in the 1996 flick.  And while I really wanted to grab a bite there, sadly…

    Officer Rhodes’ House from “Bridesmaids”

    ‘ As I mentioned in last Thursday’s post about the apartment building where Lillian (Maya Rudolph) lived in Bridesmaids, I recently became just a wee-bit obsessed with tracking down all of the locales featured in the 2011 hit.  One of the sites I was most interested in finding, of course, was the small blue ranch-style…

    Sarah’s House from “The Craft”

    ‘ Another day, another request – this one also from my friends Lavonna and Katie regarding The Craft.  (You can read yesterday’s post about HarborPlace Tower from the movie here).  During a recent group texting session, Katie asked if I knew the location of the home where Sarah Bailey (Robin Tunney) lived with her dad,…

    Dale’s Party House from “St. Elmo’s Fire”

    ‘ If stalking is my number one love, organizing ranks a close second.  This weekend, I went full-on Monica Geller with all of my filming location spreadsheets and it. was. glorious.  Not only did the process give me hours upon hours of enjoyment, but it made me realize how many sites remain sitting in my…

    Rose Towers from “CSI: Cyber”

    ‘ Spanish-style courtyard apartment complexes are my jam (as evidenced here, here, here, here, here, here, and here).  One that I became especially enamored of a little over a year ago was the pink-hued building where Tristan Jenkins (fave actor Matt Lanter) lived on the Season 2 episode of CSI: Cyber titled “Corrupted Memory.”  While…

    ‘ Happy 2015, folks!  Now that the holidays have come to a close, I will (hopefully) be back to my regularly scheduled blogging.  So here goes.  Stalking is obviously my favorite pastime, but shopping comes in at a close second.  So when I get an opportunity to combine the two, I jump at it.  A…
