Paty’s Restaurant from “Desperate Housewives”
‘ To continue on with this week’s restaurant theme, today I thought I would write a post about an eatery that the Grim Cheaper and I stalked back in January – the historic Paty’s Restaurant in Toluca Lake, which first opened for business just a little over a half century ago in 1960. I had…

Whirlwind Weekend
‘ I spent this past weekend in San Francisco celebrating my grandma’s 90th birthday. The family threw her a surprise party and to say she was bowled over would be an understatement. We had an absolute blast and I can’t think of a better way to have spent my Valentine’s. For the evening, one of…

Happy Memorial Day!
‘ I would like to wish all of my fellow stalkers a very happy Memorial Day. I hope everyone takes a moment today to remember what the holiday is truly about – not three-day weekends or BBQs, but honoring those who passed away while fighting for our country’s freedom. ‘

‘ A couple of weeks ago, while trying to figure out in what movie I had spotted L’Orangerie, aka Chez Quis restaurant from Ferris Bueller’s Day Off (which, maddeningly, I still have yet to determine, by the way!), I started scanning through the 1990 romantic comedy Pretty Woman and found myself wondering why I had…

The Stuart Building from “That Thing You Do!”
‘ Back in early October, upon returning home from doing some That Thing You Do! stalking in Orange (you can read my posts on the locations I stalked here, here and here), I popped in my DVD of the 1996 flick to re-watch it for the first time in years. I was absolutely shocked –…

Michael Jackson’s First L.A. Home
‘ Last week, on the recommendation of fellow stalker Grant, I picked up a FABULOUS new book about the life and times of the King of Pop by author J. Randy Taraborrelli named Michael Jackson: The Magic, The Madness, The Whole Story, 1958-2009. For anyone who is at all interested in MJ’s life, the 765…

Beeman Park from “Girls Just Want to Have Fun”
‘ I often get asked if I think that someday down the road I might run out of places that I am passionate about stalking. That is like asking if I will ever tire of shopping! The answer is a definitive no! As long as movies and TV shows continue to be made, this girl…
