    San Francisco Stalking!

    ‘ This weekend while visiting San Francisco, my friend Nat put together a custom made stalking tour of The City by the Bay for me. She said she had a new found respect for me, as she hadn’”‘”‘t realized how much time and energy finding locations took until she put together the tour for me.…

    Kyoto Gardens from “Her”

    ‘ As a kid, I was pretty much never without a book in hand.  (Truth be told, not much has changed since.)  One of my favorite childhood tomes was Frances Hodgson Burnett’s 1911 masterpiece The Secret Garden.  Reading it made me want nothing more than to unearth a lush hidden idyll of my own.  That…

    Liberace’s Former Home

    ‘ A couple of weeks ago, while doing some stalking in the Valley, I became a bit obsessed with locating the home where legendary pianist Liberace lived back in the 1950s.  I first heard about this location, ironically enough, from comedian and Whose Line Is It Anyway? star Ryan Stiles, who also owned the property…

    The Site of Sanford and Son Salvage from “Sanford and Son”

    ‘ There’s pretty much nothing I relish more than diving into the nitty-gritty when proving or disproving a location – especially if that location is from an old production and/or is no longer in existence.  I love the challenge of it.  I recently had the pleasure of delving into one such case thanks to a…

    Vacation Homes of the Stars

    ‘ Since the early 1930′”‘”‘s, Palm Springs has been a favorite desert oasis for the Hollywood elite.  With its perfect winter and springtime weather, fabulous shopping, and beautiful desert ambiance, it’”‘”‘s not very hard to see why.  While visiting the desert this weekend, I dragged my boyfriend on my very own little stalking tour of Downtown Palm Springs.  Much to…

    Famous Original Ray’s Pizza from “Sex and the City”

    ‘ The Grim Cheaper and I used to visit New York at least once a year.  Prior to this recent trip, though, we had not been to Manhattan since October 2009!  Being separated from my favorite city for almost seven years was quite a hard pill to swallow.  During that time, I accumulated a ridiculously…

    Tom Rose’s House from “Beverly Hills, 90210”

    ‘ This past weekend, the Grim Cheaper surprised me with tickets for the Children’s Discovery Museum of the Desert annual Discovery Home Tour as a sort-of Welcome-to-Palm-Springs gift. The tour was an experience, to say the least. I honestly cannot remember the last time the GC and I laughed so hard – and for so…

    The Cunningham House from “Happy Days”

    ‘ I consider myself a seasoned stalker.  I think most would agree.  Somehow though, until last month, I had never stalked one of the most iconic homes in television history.  I am talking about the Cunningham residence from Happy Days.  I did not even realize my colossal blunder until I was contacted by The Meredith…
