    The Georgian Ballroom from “Girls Just Want to Have Fun”

    ‘ Had you asked me last week, I would have told you that I was an expert on both Pasadena and its filming history.  But something happened on Wednesday afternoon that rocked me to my stalking core.  While writing a blog post for Los Angeles magazine, I got on a bit of a Girls Just…

  • Edgeway Auto Upholstery from “Wicked City”

    Edgeway Auto Upholstery from “Wicked City”

    ‘ ABC finally released the remaining five episodes of Wicked City on both ABC.com and Hulu.  Watching them proved to be a bit of a double-edged sword because the show got really good.  And I already thought it was great!  By episode 8, I realized what a real contender it could have been, with a…

  • Canter’s Deli from “Entourage”

    Canter’s Deli from “Entourage”

    ‘ This will, unfortunately, be my last post for this week as I am heading out to Palm Springs bright and early tomorrow morning to take my dad to a few doctor appointments and I will not be back until late Thursday night.  And because I am going to the Emmy’s on Sunday (whoo hoo…

  • The Los Angeles Filming Locations of “Hocus Pocus”

    The Los Angeles Filming Locations of “Hocus Pocus”

    ‘ It’s finally here, folks!  The day I wait for all year long.  Halloween!  I hope all of my fellow stalkers have a fabulous, spooky and safe holiday!  I figured what better way to celebrate my favorite day than with a post about one of the world’s most beloved Halloween movies, Hocus Pocus.  Last week,…

  • Day Off!

    Day Off!

    ‘ Because I spent all day yesterday out and about stalking with Mike, from MovieShotsLA, I did not have time to write a new post for today.  But I do promise to be back tomorrow with a whole new location.  In the meantime, I hope all of my fellow stalkers have a fabulous weekend! Until…

  • Nick’s (Almost) Apartment from “The Crush”

    Nick’s (Almost) Apartment from “The Crush”

    ‘ Just a mile and a half away from the Forrester mansion, which appeared in the 1993 thriller The Crush and which I blogged about yesterday, is the supposed Seattle-area apartment house where Nick Eliot (aka Cary Elwes) tried to rent a unit after discovering that his current landlords’ 14-year old daughter Adrian (aka Alicia…

  • New York’s Paley Park

    New York’s Paley Park

    ‘ New York has no shortage of “secret” places.  I blogged about one – Grand Central’s Whispering Gallery – on Friday.  Another that the Grim Cheaper and I are fond of is Paley Park, located in NYC’s Midtown East neighborhood.  We happened by the site while wandering along 53rd Street during our very first visit…

  • Watching the Filming of “True Blood”

    Watching the Filming of “True Blood”

    ‘ Last Wednesday evening I got a text from the owner of POP Champagne & Dessert Bar – my very favorite restaurant and the spot where the Grim Cheaper and I held the rehearsal dinner for our wedding last August – alerting me to the fact that the hit HBO television series True Blood would…

  • Afeni Shakur’s House from “Unsolved: The Murders of Tupac & the Notorious B.I.G.”

    Afeni Shakur’s House from “Unsolved: The Murders of Tupac & the Notorious B.I.G.”

    ‘ I am unnaturally obsessed with pretty much all things southern – southern accents (what I wouldn’t give for a slow, lilting twang!), homemade fried chicken, and large plantation-style houses, among many others.  So I, of course, immediately fixated on the huge columned estate where Afeni Shakur (Sola Bamis) lived on Unsolved: The Murders of…

  • Palm Springs City Hall from “Behind the Candelabra”

    Palm Springs City Hall from “Behind the Candelabra”

    ‘ The Behind the Candelabra location that I was most excited to stalk was Palm Springs City Hall, which appeared very briefly towards the end of the recently-aired HBO biopic.  When I first saw the locale pop up onscreen, in all of its retro glory, I was convinced that it was a set that had…
