    Going on Vacation!

    ‘ I am currently on vacation in L.A. with my family and will not be publishing any new blog posts for the next week or so.  Our trip is planned to last two weeks, but we are keeping things up in the air depending on how my dad is feeling.  I will definitely be back…

    Toby’s House from “The Office”

    ‘ The night of April 28th, 2011 was one of the saddest nights I have experienced as of late due to the fact that it marked Steve Carell’s final appearance on fave show The Office.  In the days leading up to the airing of his last episode, which was titled “Goodbye, Michael”, I had a…

    The “Double Indemnity” House

    ‘ A couple of weekends ago I dragged the Grim Cheaper out to the Beachwood Canyon area of the Hollywood Hills to stalk one of the most famous macabre movie locations of all time – the Spanish-Colonial-Revival-style abode that was featured in Double Indemnity.  Incredibly, up until a few weeks ago I had yet to…

    Watermark On Main

    ‘ This past weekend, while in Ventura, my parents, my fiance, and I ate dinner at a newly opened restaurant named Watermark On Main.  And, even though my eyes are ALWAYS peeled, I wasn’”‘”‘t exactly expecting to see a celeb during our meal.  But, sure enough, we did!  As it turns out, Watermark is something of…

    The Father of the Bride Apartment

    ‘ I must bow down yet again to Mike over at MovieShotsLA for finding a filming location that has eluded me for years! Ever since seeing Father of the Bride Part II way back in 1995 – has it honestly been that long??? – I have been obsessed with Kimberly Williams’”‘”‘ Spanish style apartment building…

  • Porter’s Stowaway Tavern from “Revenge”

    Porter’s Stowaway Tavern from “Revenge”

    ‘ The Grim Cheaper and I recently became obsessed with Revenge.  We randomly started watching the ABC series on Netflix one night in early September and could NOT stop.  For the next three weeks, the two of us obsessively binge-watched episodes, to the extent that I’m kind of surprised no one staged an intervention.  We…

  • I Heart New York!

    I Heart New York!

    ‘ Tonight I am taking the red eye to New York City, leaving behind the land of tank tops and cutoff shorts for the land of down parkas and thermal underwear. My family and I are taking our annual winter vacation to my favorite city in the world – the Big Apple! So today, before…

    JW Marriott Desert Springs Resort & Spa from “Saved by the Bell”

    ‘ This Labor Day, Lifetime is set to air The Unauthorized Saved by the Bell Story about the making of the Saturday morning classic which ran from 1989-1993.  Um, YAY!  (How did I not know about this, by the way??  Ordering it now!)  While the show was admittedly as cheesy as they come, I loved…

  • The “Hand That Rocks The Cradle” House

    The “Hand That Rocks The Cradle” House

    ‘ Another location that I stalked while visiting the Pacific Northwest this past May was the gorgeous Victorian-style residence where the Bartel family – Claire (aka Annabella Sciorra), Michael (aka Matt McCoy), Emma (aka an absolutely adorable pre-Californication Madeline Zima), and baby Joey (aka Eric, Jennifer, and Ashley Melander)  – and their nanny, Peyton Flanders…

  • The World’s Most Haunted House

    The World’s Most Haunted House

    ‘ I’ve mentioned before that my good friend Owen, of the When Write Is Wrong blog, and I have an almost eerie synchronicity. So what happened this past Monday shouldn’t have surprised me. Last October, he informed me that there is a pad that has been dubbed “the world’s most haunted house” located in the…
