One of the locales he managed to find was the Town House Motel in Glendale, where…

The Bistro Garden
‘ A couple of weeks ago, while searching online for different filming locations from The Office, I came across some information about an area restaurant which not only appeared in The Office, but in countless other productions over the years, as well – the Bistro Garden in Studio City. So, I, of course, dragged the…

The Central Park Boathouse – Where Carrie and Big Went Swimming
‘ One of my very favorite episodes of (oh, who am I kidding – every episode is my favorite episode!) was the Season Three Finale when Carrie decides, after much deliberation and a big fight with Miranda, to meet Mr. Big for lunch.

The Friday the 13th Premiere

The Mystery of the “Melissa & Joey” House

The George Peabody Library from “Sleepless in Seattle”
‘ The Grim Cheaper has never been much interested in filming locations, as I’ve mentioned many times before. He does love stalking them with me, though, as doing so usually involves seeing historic and unique spots. One site that absolutely bowled him over during our trip back east last September was the George Peabody Library…

The “Relativity” House
‘ Back in 1996, the Bedford Falls Company, the production company behind fave show My So-Called Life, debuted a new dramedy named Relativity. I was hooked on the series from the get-go. Sadly, it suffered the same fate as My So-Called Life and was cancelled after a solitary season. Unlike MSCL, though, which prospered in…
