    The Villa Del Sol from “Rosewood”

    ‘ The Baader-Meinhof Phenomenon is a term used to describe the experience of coming across an obscure word, thing, or piece of information for the first time and then subsequently happening upon references to that same word, thing, or piece of information on a regular basis.  I had never heard of it until fellow stalker/guest…

  • Bahooka Family Restaurant from “Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas”

    Bahooka Family Restaurant from “Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas”

    ‘ This past Sunday morning, my mom emailed me a link to a Los Angeles Magazine article about the upcoming closure of a veritable San Gabriel Valley institution, Bahooka Family Restaurant in Rosemead, with the admonishment, “You’d better take pictures! It HAS to have been in movies.” And she was right. Bahooka has starred in…

    Joe and Love’s New House from “You”

    ‘ I apologize to those who don’t follow me on Instagram or Facebook for not posting updates about my dad here.  He was finally moved out of the ICU a couple of days ago, thank God, and is currently progressing in the right direction.  Unfortunately, the Wi-Fi and cell signal in the ICU were nil,…

  • The “Secrets and Lies” Brothel

    The “Secrets and Lies” Brothel

    ‘ I found the second season of Secrets and Lies abysmal – which is surprising being that, on paper, it contained several elements that should have made it a sure-fire hit in my book.  Murder mystery premise?  Check!  Shot in L.A.?  Check!  And it starred both AnnaLynne McCord (from my beloved 90210) and David James…

  • The “Clueless” Guide to Occidental College

    The “Clueless” Guide to Occidental College

    ‘ While it is well-known among location aficionados that Occidental College masked as Bronson Alcott High School in Clueless, an in-depth guide to the exact areas of the campus that appeared in the flick has never been published.  So, with some help from Mike, from MovieShotsLA, Owen, from the When Write Is Wrong blog, and…

  • The CalEdison from “The Morning Show”

    The CalEdison from “The Morning Show”

    ‘ L.A. never ceases to amaze!  Case in point – the CalEdison.  Built in 1931, the Art Deco masterpiece is not only a sight to behold, but its grand lobby is open to the public!  Somehow though, I never knew about the place until last week when I was researching locations from The Morning Show.…

  • Esperanza Resort

    Esperanza Resort

    ‘ Another celebrity hot spot that my husband and I stalked while honeymooning in Cabo San Lucas last week was the world-famous Esperanza Resort hotel – a place my girl Jen A. has checked into frequently over the years.   The 17-acre property, which is a member of the Leading Hotels of the World, is consistently…

  • Big Red Sun from “Chef”

    Big Red Sun from “Chef”

    ‘ Spoiler alert!  If you have not yet seen Chef (and if not, what’s the hold up?  I told y’all on Friday that it was one of my favorite movies of 2014!), you might not want to read today’s post as I will definitely be spoiling the ending.  Don’t say I didn’t warn you!  Anyhow,…

  • Rebecca’s Apartment from “Lights Out”

    Rebecca’s Apartment from “Lights Out”

    ‘ I am always tickled when I spot a location I have already stalked pop up in additional productions.  Amazingly, that happened twice in the past month with today’s locale, the former Highland Park branch of the Security Trust & Savings Bank.  I originally learned of the site thanks to its many appearances as the…
