    ‘ This morning my mom sent me a link to an awesome new  locations website called “Where It’”‘”‘s At – Pop Culture Is All Around You”.  And I, of course, became TOTALLY and COMPLETELY engrossed in it for a good hour and a half.   I was so engrossed in it, in fact, that I was late in meeting…

    Elegant Manor

    ‘ Because there’s nothing this stalker loves more than history and abandoned locations, my BFF Mike, from MovieShotsLA, once took me by a dilapidated old West Adams house known as Elegant Manor that has quite a backstory.  This was years ago, though, and, while I knew the place was a filming location (thanks to this…

    ‘ My father is currently in the hospital (again) as he just had some minor surgery – and no, it was not caused by me dragging him to filming locations! 🙂 As they say, though, every cloud has a silver lining! Not only has his hospital been used as a filming location, but there is…

    The King Edward Hotel from “In Time”

    ‘ I am a sucker for a grand staircase!  My affinity likely stems from the movie Titanic, which I was obsessed with back in the day.  Whatever the impetus, I am drawn to them like a moth to a flame.  Case in point – while researching the Surfridge neighborhood for this 2013 post, I was…

  • Nuart Theatre from “Foul Play”

    Nuart Theatre from “Foul Play”

    ‘ I was hesitant to include today’s locale in with my Haunted Hollywood postings being that the Nuart Theatre is neither haunted nor a horror movie location, per se.  But the small arthouse venue did cameo in one of my favorite thrillers/comedies – 1978’s Foul Play – as the site of a murder, no less,…

    The John Ferraro Building

    ‘ I was recently interviewed for an exciting new project (more details to come) and in my talks with producers beforehand was asked if I had any ideas about where the interview could take place.  They were hoping to meet up at a filming location that I felt best represented the spirt of L.A.  I…
