    Kelly Gulch from “Parks and Recreation”

    ‘ Right next door to Pat’s Topanga Grill, which I blogged about on Tuesday, is an oft-filmed-at residence known as Kelly Gulch.  Fellow stalker Mike, from MovieShotsLA, had mentioned the property to me back in early December while the two of us were in the midst of our hunt for the Topanga Canyon house where…

  • On the Set of “Mad Men”

    On the Set of “Mad Men”

    ‘ This past Tuesday, I received an email from one of my fellow stalkers alerting me to the fact that the hit AMC television series Mad Men was going to be shooting on location in Pasadena the following day at Don and Betty Draper’s house, which I blogged about last June.  And even though I…

  • 7th Street/Metro Center Station from “Cruel Intentions”

    7th Street/Metro Center Station from “Cruel Intentions”

    ‘ We all have those movie scenes – the ones so dramatic, so full of romance or even so disturbing (like this, for example) that, for better or worse, they remain ingrained in our memories.  Two of my favorites happen to be from the same film and, oddly, it’s a film I don’t even like…

  • The Victorian from “Mr. Mom”

    The Victorian from “Mr. Mom”

    ‘ Some movie scenes just seem to stay with you, seared into your memory for years, despite the fact that you can remember little else about the storyline.  That’s how it was for me and Mr. Mom.  I had not seen the comedy since 1983 when it first premiered in theatres and recalled few details…

  • The “How to Marry a Millionaire” Apartment Building

    The “How to Marry a Millionaire” Apartment Building

    ‘ One of the things I love most about L.A. is the direct access the city has to a myriad of unique, once-in-a-lifetime experiences.  Case in point – Essentially Marilyn, The Paley Center for Media’s latest exhibit featuring costumes, personal artifacts, clothing, and memorabilia from none other than Miss Marilyn Monroe herself, including the starlet’s…

  • Arrowhead Pine Rose Cabins from “Veep”

    Arrowhead Pine Rose Cabins from “Veep”

    ‘ I often find myself thinking about how fabulous it would be if Instagram had existed back when Beverly Hills, 90210 was still on the air.  One of my most-loved down-time activities is perusing the feed of actors currently starring on shows I watch to see the various behind-the-scenes stories and photos they post.  Not…

  • Taking the Week Off!

    Taking the Week Off!

    ‘ I will be taking a break from blogging this week as I will be visiting my grandmother in Reno, Nevada until Friday afternoon.  And while I will not be posting any new locations for the next five days, I will definitely be stalking them!  I packed my copy of The Misfits, which was primarily…

  • The Warner Grand Theatre

    The Warner Grand Theatre

    ‘ This past Saturday, my family and I returned from Catalina Island via the Catalina Express high speed catamaran that docks in San Pedro Harbor.  When the captain announced that we had finally reached our destination, I suddenly realized that a filming location I have LONG been dying to stalk was actually located in the very city where we now found…

  • Jesse James and Sandra Bullock’s Former House

    Jesse James and Sandra Bullock’s Former House

    ‘ Another Orange County location that the Grim Cheaper and I stalked this past weekend while spending time in Huntington Beach was the former home of actress Sandra Bullock and her ex-husband, West Coast Choppers CEO and reality television star Jesse James.  As it was the GC’s birthday weekend, I was not actually planning on…

  • Johnie’s Coffee Shop Restaurant on Wilshire

    Johnie’s Coffee Shop Restaurant on Wilshire

    ‘ Because I encountered so much filming location misinformation while researching my post on Bob’s Big Boy Broiler in Downey last week, I decided that I just had to write a blog about the place’s sister eatery, the now-defunct Johnie’s Coffee Shop Restaurant on Wilshire Boulevard in the Miracle Mile District of Los Angeles, which…
