Frankie’s House from “People Like Us”
‘ As I mentioned in early November in my post about Henry’s Tacos, I did not especially love the 2012 movie People Like Us as I found it to be a bit too depressing. What I did love, though, was the fact that the flick was filmed in its entirety in L.A. So after watching,…

The Millennium Biltmore Hotel’s South Galleria from “The West Wing”

The blurb practically had me foaming at the mouth,…
