    Alvarado Street School from “Beverly Hills, 90210”

    ‘ For my final holiday post of 2013, I thought I would blog about a locale from my favorite television series of all time, Beverly Hills, 90210.  Last September, I dragged the Grim Cheaper out to Culver City to stalk Playa del Rey Elementary School, which masqueraded as Alvarado Street School, where Brenda Walsh (my…

  • Jesse and Becky’s Honeymoon Send-Off Location from “Full House”

    Jesse and Becky’s Honeymoon Send-Off Location from “Full House”

    ‘ I have grown used to productions playing fast and loose with location continuity, but was still flummoxed when I came across a thread back in January 2016 on a now defunct website in which a commenter asked if anyone knew which residence was used as the Tanner family home in the Season 4 episode…

  • Ali’s Trailer Park from “Burlesque”

    Ali’s Trailer Park from “Burlesque”

    ‘ While the Grim Cheaper and I were stalking in Downtown Piru this past Saturday, the super-nice owner of Poncho’s Place, the restaurant from True Blood that I blogged about on Tuesday, clued me into the fact that the supposed rural, Iowa-area trailer park where Ali (aka Christina Aguilera) lived in the beginning of Burlesque…

    My Guide to L.A. – See

    ‘ Today marks the end of my Guide to L.A. posts.  I hope you had as much fun reading the series as I did putting it together.  As I mentioned in yesterday’s article, to make things easier on myself I broke up my Things to Do recommendations into two categories, “Play” and “See,” though some…

  • The Street Where “The Hills” Finale Was Filmed

    The Street Where “The Hills” Finale Was Filmed

    ‘ One location that I have been on the lookout for for a couple of months now is the street where Kristin Cavallari said good-bye to on-again/off-again boyfriend Brody Jenner in the final scene of the series finale of fave show The Hills, which aired on July 13th of this year.  For whatever reason, though,…

  • Pomona College’s Harwood Court – aka Eastland School from “The Facts of Life”

    Pomona College’s Harwood Court – aka Eastland School from “The Facts of Life”

    ‘ Well over six months ago, my good friend Mikey, from the Mike the Fanboy website, asked if I would like to do some stalking with him of Harwood Court, the Pomona College dormitory which stood in for the fictional Eastland School, attended by Blair Warner (Lisa Whelchel), Dorothy ‘Tootie’ Ramsey (Kim Fields), Natalie Green…

    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…

  • Seinfeld’s Apartment

    Seinfeld’s Apartment

    ‘ Like most filming locations, the site used as Jerry’”‘”‘s apartment building on the hit TV show Seinfeld, can actually be found in Los Angeles, not Manhattan.  It is a nondescript little building that actually does look very reminiscent of New York.  I didn’”‘”‘t recognize the building in person, until I looked at it through the viewfinder of my camera, and…

  • L.A., Here I Come!

    L.A., Here I Come!

    ‘ I am heading to L.A. this morning and will therefore be taking the next few days off.  I have absolutely NO plans for my stay yet , which I could NOT be more excited about!   After the incredibly busy March that I had, I am looking forward to spending some time relaxing, shopping, hanging…

  • Bette Davis’ House from “Feud”

    Bette Davis’ House from “Feud”

    ‘ My favorite Big Little Lies quote belongs to Madeline Martha Mackenzie (Reese Witherspoon), who, in response to Celeste Wright (Nicole Kidman) advising her to let something go, quips, “I love my grudges.  I tend to them like little pets.”  A woman after my own heart, I swear!  Oh yes, I am a definite grudge-holder. …
