    The Girls Just Want To Have Fun Apartment Building!!

    ‘ As I sit here writing this I am in shock – absolute shock.  This morning at around 10 O’”‘”‘clock I got a phone call from fellow stalker Chas who had some news to share with me, some very big news!  Are you all sitting down for this????  Chas was calling me up to tell me…

  • Robert Pastorelli’s Former House

    Robert Pastorelli’s Former House

    ‘ Growing up, I absolutely loved Murphy Brown. This was largely due to the antics of zany housepainter/nanny Eldin Bernecky, played by actor Robert Pastorelli.  I adored Eldin so much in fact that when Pastorelli left the show in 1994, I stopped watching.  I was heartbroken to learn of his death a decade later and…

  • Harbor Steps Apartments from “The Ring”

    Harbor Steps Apartments from “The Ring”

    ‘ I am reaching deep into my stalking vault for today’s location.  I visited the Harbor Steps Apartments from The Ring during a trip to Seattle well over four years ago – shortly after being caught in a torrential downpour, which explains my hat in the above photograph – but somehow failed to blog about…

  • The Plaza Hotel – New York’s Most Exciting Hotel Experience?

    The Plaza Hotel – New York’s Most Exciting Hotel Experience?

    ‘ One New York building that I have long been wanting to stalk is the famed Plaza Hotel – a location that was referred to in Home Alone 2: Lost In New York as “New York’”‘”‘s most exciting hotel experience”. During my first trip to the Big Apple, in December of 2005, the Plaza was…

  • We’re Moving!

    We’re Moving!

    ‘ As I mentioned in Monday’s post, the Grim Cheaper and I are moving this week.  (Hopefully we won’t have any moments like this!)  So blog posts will likely be few and far between over the next couple of weeks until we get settled.  Hopefully I’ll be back up and running sooner rather than later,…

  • Harris’ House from “L.A. Story”

    Another L.A. Story location that production designer Lawrence Miller talked about in “The L.A. of L.A. Story” featurette included on the 1991 comedy’s 15th Anniversary Edition DVD was the Spanish-style dwelling where wacky weatherman Harris K. Telemacher (Steve Martin) lived.  And even though the address of the home had been listed on the L.A. Story…

    Phil’s Bar from “Little Black Book”

    ‘ A couple of weeks ago, I got on a kick of tracking down locations from fave movie Little Black Book.  Now I should mention here, before I go any further, that the 2004 romantic comedy really isn’t all that good.  I can’t explain why I love it as much as I do, but I…

  • The Numb3rs House

    The Numb3rs House

    ‘ Ever since the pilot episode of the TV show aired back in 2005, I was totally obsessed with finding the location of Charlie’”‘”‘s large Craftsman style house. American Craftsman Style architecture became popular towards the end of the 19th Century and usually combines huge front porches, handcrafted woodwork and clean lines. Craftsman houses are…

  • The Westin Bonaventure Hotel & Suites from “True Lies”

    The Westin Bonaventure Hotel & Suites from “True Lies”

    ‘ There is no shortage of unique architecture in Southern California.  The Bradbury Building, LADWP, and the 8500 apartment complex all immediately come to mind as highly individualistic spots.  One structure stands heads and shoulders above the rest, though, as being extra extraordinary – The Westin Bonaventure Hotel & Suites in downtown Los Angeles.  If…

  • The “Big” School

    The “Big” School

    ‘ Located just around the corner from the two main houses used in the movie Big is Cliffside Park Elementary School #6 – the elementary school attended by Josh Baskin (aka Tom Hanks) and his best friend Billy (aka Jared Rushton) in the 1988 flick.  So, since we were already in the area, Owen, my fiancé,…
