The “Good Luck Charlie” House
‘ During the lengthy process of researching the Melissa & Joey house (which many viewers seem to think has been used on another series – you can read my blog on it here), I came across a post on Julia Sweeten’s fabulous website, Hooked on Houses, about the residence where the Duncan family – dad…

Le Borghese Apartments
‘ While Mike, from MovieShotsLA, was cyberstalking the ‘”‘”‘Til There Was You apartment building a few weeks ago, he came across a comment on a website which stated that the very same building from ‘”‘”‘Til There Was You was also used in the 2001 David Lynch thriller Mulholland Dr. Well, after doing a bit more research, Mike and I discovered that information is actually…
