The Friends of Heaven Grief Retreat Hotel from “Dead to Me”
‘ You wouldn’t expect a show centered around grief to be funny.

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.…
