    The Great Quake of ’08!

    ‘ Yesterday morning at around 11:42am a fairly large earthquake hit the LA area. I received a text message from a friend, who forgot that I am currently on vacation in Hawaii, asking if I felt the quake. My first thought was ” OMG!

    Naomi Clark’s House

    ‘ Back in March, I came across this post on fave website On Location Vacations which stated that 90210  was filming that day at a private residence located at 145 North Rossmore Avenue in Los Angeles.  That residence turned out to be the mega-mansion that Naomi Clark and her sister moved into in the episode of the…

  • The “Christmas Vacation” Pool

    The “Christmas Vacation” Pool

    ‘ Another Christmas-themed locale that I had long wanted to track down and stalk was Clark W. Griswold’s (Chevy Chase’s) dream pool from the 1989 classic Christmas Vacation.  (Is it odd, by the way, that I can still remember exactly where I was and who I was with the first time I saw the flick…
