    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 –…

  • Trudi’s Apartment Building from “L.A. Story”

    Trudi’s Apartment Building from “L.A. Story”

    ‘ Last month, when I published my post on the location of the iconic talking freeway sign from L.A. Story, a friend named David, whom I met in an acting class years ago, sent me a Facebook message letting me know that the unique, modern-style apartment building where Trudi (Marilu Henner) lived in the flick…

    Storrier Stearns Japanese Garden from “Pure Genius”

    ‘ The Grim Cheaper and I are finally getting around to landscaping the backyard of our new house, so to say I’m into gardens lately would be an understatement.  If I knew how to use Pinterest (I swear I cannot figure that site out), I’d be pinning foliage design ideas left and right.  Instead I’ve…

  • The Redbury Hotel from “Entourage”

    The Redbury Hotel from “Entourage”

    ‘ Last July, while doing some cyber-stalking, I came across an article on the USA TODAY Travel website about the numerous Southern California hotels and restaurants featured in the eighth and final season of the hit television series Entourage.  One of the spots mentioned in the blurb was Tinseltown’s newly-opened The Redbury Hotel, which appeared…

  • Grand Central Terminal’s Whispering Gallery

    Grand Central Terminal’s Whispering Gallery

    ‘ New York is a magical place.  I always describe it as such.  It is not just the abject filming locations, gorgeous architecture, and surplus of history that make the city so majestic, but the little, notable things that seem to be tucked around every corner.  Take for instance the Whispering Gallery at Grand Central…

  • The “Crossroads” Grocery Store

    The “Crossroads” Grocery Store

  • The Queen Mary Observation Bar from “He’s Just Not That Into You”

    The Queen Mary Observation Bar from “He’s Just Not That Into You”

    ‘ I am beginning to discover that The Queen Mary is a lot like the Millennium Biltmore Los Angeles in that every square inch of it has appeared onscreen in multiple notable productions.  Case in point – while scanning through Adaptation to make screen captures for my post on Zipper Concert Hall last week, I…

  • A Day Off For Decorating . . . Fa La La La La La La La La!

    A Day Off For Decorating . . . Fa La La La La La La La La!

    ‘ I, unfortunately, do not have a new blog to post for today as my parents came to town last Thursday evening to help me and the Grim Cheaper purchase and decorate our Christmas tree.  They ended up staying through the rest of the weekend and because we spent most of our time out and…

    Taking the Day Off

    ‘ Because some good friends came to town yesterday, I was unfortunately not able to write a new blog post for today.  But I promise to be back on Monday with a whole new location.  So until that time, Happy Stalking! ‘
