The Phillips Mansion
‘ The Grim Cheaper always tells me that it is not about the destination, but the journey. He’s right. Getting lost can have its perks. While driving around looking for Spadra Cemetery (which I blogged about on Friday) a couple of weeks ago, we happened upon a seemingly abandoned mansion set back from the road…

Celebrity Jury Duty
‘ Last September I was called to report for jury duty at the Clara Shortridge Foltz Criminal Justice Center in Downtown Los Angeles. As you can probably guess, I was not too excited for this venture. I perked up, though, when on my first day of service, I arrived at the courthouse to see a…

Mary’s House from “All About Steve”
‘ If you listened to critics, you probably think All About Steve has no redeeming qualities whatsoever. You’d be wrong, though. While the 2009 comedy (and I use the term “comedy” loosely) is not remotely funny, boasts an odd storyline, and fails to properly showcase the talents of its fabulous cast, which includes Bradley Cooper,…

Descanso Gardens
‘ This past weekend I dragged my fiance and my parents out to stalk Descanso Gardens in La Canada Flintridge – another location that I discovered thanks to my new favorite stalking book. The 160-acre botanical garden has been featured in countless movies and television shows over the years and is also a popular wedding venue.…

The Apthorp from “Funny Farm”
‘ I am the first to admit that, though I am not a natural towhead, I am a dumb blonde through and through. The Grim Cheaper often kids that all of the hair dye I’ve used over the years has obviously gone to my brain. Case in point – during a 2008 trip to New…

The All American Burger from “Don’t Tell Mom the Babysitter’s Dead”
‘ I was devastated to learn back in early 2010, thanks to fellow stalker Amanda, that The All American Burger on Sunset Boulevard, which masqueraded as Clown Dog restaurant in 1991’s Don’t Tell Mom the Babysitter’s Dead, was being turned into a Chipotle Mexican Grill. I never expected that the historic eatery was going to…

Buy A Set From Laguna Beach!
‘ Fave website Real Estalker just posted news that Lauren Conrad’”‘”‘s parents put their here. Stalk It: The Conrad’”‘”‘s home is located at 29 Vista Del Sol in Laguna Beach. You won’”‘”‘t get past the guardshack located at 32350 Pacific Coast Highway, though, so you’”‘”‘ll just have to settle for views of the house from…

Mickey’s Diner from “The Mighty Ducks”
‘ I thought I’d give y’all a break from the myriad of Beautiful Girls locations that I’ve been blogging about as of late by dedicating today’s post to a very famous and historic St. Paul restaurant named Mickey’s Diner. The diner is something of a Twin Cities landmark and pretty much every Native Minnesotan that…

The Old Place Restaurant from “Twin Peaks”
‘ A couple of weeks ago, I received an email from a fellow stalker named Brad who runs a website named Brad D Studios where, among other things, he chronicles filming locations from David Lynch productions. I spent the next few hours perusing Brad’s site and was ABSOLUTELY SHOCKED to discover that every episode of…

The Racquet Club of Palm Springs
‘ On July 24th, while waiting in line for my morning coffee, my eyes wandered over to a nearby newspaper stand and landed on the headline Historic Racquet Club Hotel Destroyed in Fire. My heart immediately sank as the now vacant Racquet Club of Palm Springs is not only steeped in Hollywood history, but is…
