    Kansas City Barbeque – Back and Better Than Ever!

    ‘ I thought I’”‘”‘d take a little break today from my NYC blogging – and yes, I do have many more Manhattan filming locations to write about 🙂 – to do a little post about an old favorite of mine – Kansas City Barbeque in San Diego, or as it is more commonly known, the…

    The Los Angeles Filming Locations of “Glow”

    ‘ Be sure to check out my latest article for Los Angeles magazine detailing the filming locations of Glow, the new Netflix comedy series about a 1980s female wrestling organization.  I have to admit that when my editor first pitched me the story, I was skeptical.  The show did not sound like my cup of…

    The Bewitched House!

    ‘ This weekend I stalked the house used as Darrin and Samantha’”‘”‘s home on the 1964 TV series . Interestingly enough, the house, located in Santa Monica, California, was only the inspiration for the home seen on the series, but was never actually used for filming. An exact replica of the Santa Monica house was…

    The Pantages Theatre

    ‘ As promised earlier in the week, I thought I would dedicate today’”‘”‘s post to the historic Pantages Theatre in Hollywood where I saw Dirty Dancing – The Classic Story On Stage  last Tuesday night .   And let me tell you, the Pantages Theatre is a site to see, in and of itself!  The Art Deco landmark was built in 1930 by…

    30th Street Station from “Trading Places”

    ‘ If you’re a filming location buff, you really shouldn’t travel to Philadelphia without first seeing Trading Places, the 1983 Dan Aykroyd/Eddie Murphy comedy set in the City of Brotherly Love.  And filming location buff or not, you really shouldn’t leave Philly without a visit to 30th Street Station, the city’s main railroad depot which…

    The Adamson House

    ‘ I spent all last week on the hunt for a location from my fave 90s TV show Beverly Hills, 90210.  The spot I was looking for was the location that stood in for Baja, Mexico in the Season 2 episode entitled “Mexican Standoff”.  In the episode, Brenda sneaks off to a Mexican resort town for the weekend with Dylan without telling…

    Beverly Hills, 90210!

    ‘ If you lived out your high school years sometime during the nineties, I am sure you were as obsessed with as I was. Big houses, fancy cars, expensive clothes, Luke Perry – what was not to love about the teen soap opera? The Walsh Family’s Spanish Style Beverly Hills home was the very first…

    “The Hangover” Gas Station

    ‘ The Grim Cheaper and I spent last week in Las Vegas on a business/pleasure trip (hence the lack of recent blog posts).  While there, we were lucky enough to stay at Caesars Palace (post on that location coming soon!) and found ourselves constantly quoting lines from The Hangover.  So one evening we decided to…

    The Pioneer Saloon

    ‘ There’s only one thing I love more than stalking film locations and that’s stalking film locations that have a history.  On our way out of Las Vegas last week, the Grim Cheaper and I visited a watering hole that has quite a storied one.  The Pioneer Saloon in Goodsprings, which has been deemed Southern…

    This Might Just Be What Finally Puts Britney Over the Edge!!

    ‘ I am sad to report that on Tuesday, February 26th, every single Starbucks store is going to close between the hours of 5:30PM and 8:30PM for an emergency re-training session with CEO Howard Schultz. Whatever is BritBrit going to do if she wants her beverage of choice during those three hours?? For that matter,…
