  • Another Day Off

    ‘ I am taking the day off once again as I spent all day yesterday in the hospital with my dad.  He should be coming home today, though, so hopefully I will be able to write a new post for tomorrow.  Thanks to all of my fellow stalkers for their well wishes and kind words – they mean…

  • The “Larry Crowne” Apartment Building

    The “Larry Crowne” Apartment Building

    ‘ Two additional Larry Crowne filming locations that I stalked this past weekend were Talia’s, the vintage clothing store owned by Talia Francesco (aka the adorable Gugu Mbatha-Raw), and the apartment building where Larry Crowne (aka Tom Hanks) lived at the very end of the flick, both of which are housed inside of the same…

  • My Coffee With Andre – Agassi, That Is!

    My Coffee With Andre – Agassi, That Is!

    ‘ A few years back, an email entitled “You Know You’re From Los Angeles When . . . “ which was comprised of a list of “Only in L.A.” scenarios circled the World Wide Web.   My personal favorite item on the list was number 28 which stated, “The guy at 8:30 in the morning at…

  • My Latest Article for “L.A.” Mag – A DIY Film Locations Tour

    ‘ The December 2017 issue of Los Angeles magazine hit newsstands last week, featuring an article by yours truly.  The blurb, which can be found on page 93, is a detailed itinerary for a tour of twenty L.A.-area film locales.  If you can’t get your hands on a copy, don’t worry – the article can…

  • Thornton Gardens from “Funny Girl”

    Thornton Gardens from “Funny Girl”

    ‘ I have never been a big Barbra Streisand fan.  Sure, she’s an undeniably talented singer – and actress and director, for that matter – but I’m just not that into music.  And that whole Rosie-O’Donnell-having-to-rearrange-her-stage-to-showcase-Barbra’s-better-side thing really turned me off.  I won’t even get in to her absolutely cringe-worthy Inside the Actors Studio interview. …

  • Steve’s House from “Dead to Me”

    Steve’s House from “Dead to Me”

    ‘ I have a major thing for modern houses.  So it’s no shock that my favorite locale from the new Netflix series Dead to Me is the uber-contemporary abode belonging to Judy Hale’s (Linda Cardellini) ex, Steve Wood (James Marsden).  Huge, avant-garde and decidedly unique, I fell in love with the place as soon as…

  • Dealey Plaza – Where JFK Was Assassinated

    Dealey Plaza – Where JFK Was Assassinated

    ‘ As most of my fellow stalkers already well know due to the deluge of media attention, today marks the fiftieth anniversary of the assassination of John F. Kennedy.  I was not yet even a twinkle in my parents’ eyes on November 22nd, 1963, so I did not experience the tragic events firsthand, but they…

  • Alfred Hitchcock’s Former Home

    Alfred Hitchcock’s Former Home

    ‘ I tend to get a bit overexuberant when it comes to stalking Haunted Hollywood sites each year and typically wind up with more locations in my stockpile (or should I say stalkpile? ) than there are days in October to blog about them.  In fact, it would be safe to say that I have…

  • LOVE Park from “Shazam!”

    LOVE Park from “Shazam!”

    ‘ I am a complete and total girly-girl, especially when it comes to anything having to do with love, hearts or romance.  So when I headed to Philadelphia in September 2016, John F. Kennedy Plaza, aka LOVE Park, was at the top of my To-Stalk List – or rather the iconic LOVE statute that serves…

  • 18th Street Coffee House from “Modern Family”

    18th Street Coffee House from “Modern Family”

    ‘ As I have said countless times before on this blog, there’s pretty much nothing I love more than a filming location that serves coffee.  So I thought stalking the 18th Street Coffee House in Santa Monica, which was featured in the Season 6 episode of Modern Family titled “Rash Decisions,” would be a pleasant…
