  • Halloween Countdown!

    Halloween Countdown!

    ‘ I had a bit of car trouble yesterday and, in dealing with that, did not have time to write a new post.  But I will be back on Monday . . . with the start of my Haunted Hollywood locales!  Yay!  I hope all of my fellow stalkers have a fabulous weekend and that…

  • Castelli’s Ristorante in Palm Desert

    Castelli’s Ristorante in Palm Desert

    ‘ Early last week, one of my mom’s friends told her about a Palm Desert-area eatery named Castelli’s Ristorante that he had just dined at the previous evening.  While he was lauding the place’s authentic Italian fare, he happened to mention that its walls were decorated with hundreds upon hundreds of photographs of the various…

  • Shakers Family Restaurant from “Old School”

    Shakers Family Restaurant from “Old School”

    ‘ Today’s locale is another one of those facepalm spots.  For ages, I had been trying to track down the interior of the diner where Mitch (Owen Wilson) and the boys discussed saving their fraternity in the 2003 comedy Old School.  While I had long known that Montrose Bakery & Café (which, sadly, Yelp is…

  • The Den from “Sex and the City”

    The Den from “Sex and the City”

    ‘ It goes without saying that I have a tendency to obsess on things (that fact should be apparent to even my site’s most casual visitors).  Recently, I found myself obsessing over two locations featured in the L.A.-based Season 3 episode of Sex and the City titled “Sex and Another City.”  The first locale I…

  • The Campbell House from “Soap”

    The Campbell House from “Soap”

    ‘ Something must be in the water, because this has been the most fortuitous week I’ve ever had when it comes to stalking.  Over the course of the past few days, not only have three of my most-wanted locations been found, but I was even granted access to the interior of one and, remarkably, it…

  • The Filming Locations of “Big Little Lies” Season 2 – “What Have They Done”

    The Filming Locations of “Big Little Lies” Season 2 – “What Have They Done”

    ‘ I’ve made no secret of my apathy for the second season of Big Little Lies.  But I was, of course, still entranced by its locations, which I’ve been obsessively IDing ever since episode 1 aired in early June.  So I figure it is only appropriate to follow up my complete guide to the locales…

  • Providence Saint Joseph Medical Center from “Parks and Recreation”

    Providence Saint Joseph Medical Center from “Parks and Recreation”

    ‘ One location that had been lingering at the top of my To-Stalk for more than a few months was Providence Saint Joseph Medical Center in Burbank, which stands in for Pawnee Saint Joseph Hospital, where Ann Perkins (Rashida Jones) works, on fave show Parks and Recreation.  I found this locale thanks to Mike, from…

  • The Ambassador Hotel

    The Ambassador Hotel

    ‘ Katharine Hepburn once said, “I have many regrets and I’”‘”‘m sure everyone does. The stupid things you do, you regret . . . if you have any sense.” Katharine was right. One of my biggest regrets in life is that I never got to see the Ambassador Hotel in person before it was torn…

  • The McDonald Mansion from “Pollyanna”

    The McDonald Mansion from “Pollyanna”

    ‘ I am fully aware that I have a hyperbolic nature.  I use words like “favorite,” “best,” and “most” a LOT.  Caps, too, for that matter.  I wouldn’t say that I am an exaggerator, though.  I just happen to like a lot of things.  Case in point, I have more “all-time favorite” movies than I…

  • Mitch’s House from “Baywatch”

    Mitch’s House from “Baywatch”

    ‘ A couple of weeks ago, a fellow stalker named Michelle posted a comment on my site asking me to track down the house where lifeguard Mitch Buchannon (David Hasselhoff) lived with his son, Hobie Buchannon (first played by Brandon Call and then later by Jeremy Jackson), on the immensely popular 1989 television series Baywatch. …
