  • Happy Presidents’ Day!

    Happy Presidents’ Day!

    ‘ Happy Presidents’ Day to all of my fellow stalkers!  I am taking today off, but will be back on Wednesday with a new locale.  See you then! ‘

  • Pete’s Tavern

    Pete’s Tavern

    ‘ Yet another Sex and the City location that I stalked while in New York last month was a spot that touts itself as New York’s oldest continuously operating bar and restaurant.  And while there are actually quite a few watering holes claiming to be New York’s most long-established, Pete’s distinguishes itself thanks to the…

  • Just Another Day In L.A.!

    Just Another Day In L.A.!

    ‘ On Monday, I decided to do a little stalking of the horror movie Scream 2, a movie which I am sad to say was nowhere near as good as its predecessor. But since I had found the address of the fraternity house used in the movie and since the location fit in with my…

  • Tom Rose’s House from “Beverly Hills, 90210”

    Tom Rose’s House from “Beverly Hills, 90210”

    ‘ This past weekend, the Grim Cheaper surprised me with tickets for the Children’s Discovery Museum of the Desert annual Discovery Home Tour as a sort-of Welcome-to-Palm-Springs gift. The tour was an experience, to say the least. I honestly cannot remember the last time the GC and I laughed so hard – and for so…

  • The “You’ve Got Mail” Breakup Restaurant

    The “You’ve Got Mail” Breakup Restaurant

    ‘ Locations from the movie You’ve Got Mail have been well-documented online on countless sites.  I chronicled quite a few of them on mine – in a December 2007 post, as well as in follow-up posts that you can read here and here.  One spot that hasn’t been mentioned anywhere and one that I was…

  • The Swordfish Hostage Scene

    The Swordfish Hostage Scene

    ‘ This past weekend, my parents, my fiance and I drove up to Ventura for a little weekend vacay.  And I was absolutely floored to discover – thanks to my new favorite stalking book – that the hostage scene gone wrong from the 2001 movie Swordfish  had been filmed in the coastal town!  But, while my stalking book stated that all…

  • Pickwick Bowl from “Parks and Recreation”

    Pickwick Bowl from “Parks and Recreation”

    ‘ While watching the Season 4 episode of Parks and Recreation titled “Bowling for Votes” back in June, I wondered aloud about at which bowling alley filming had taken place.  The Grim Cheaper, who happened to hear me, looked up from his ever-present laptop and said, “That’s Pickwick Bowl – part of Pickwick Gardens –…

  • The Cat & Fiddle

    The Cat & Fiddle

    ‘ We’ll always have the Cat & Fiddle.  Or so Angelinos thought.  Sadly, the historic restaurant closed its doors this past December.  When news of the impending shuttering hit the blogosphere in late October, I became desperate to stalk the eatery – especially once I read via several online news outlets that it had appeared…

  • My Picture on “SNL” and Hanging Out With Michael Vartan!

    My Picture on “SNL” and Hanging Out With Michael Vartan!

    ‘ This past Saturday was an incredibly lucky and, as my best friend later described, celebrity-fueled day for me.  My family, the Grim Cheaper, and I had headed down to San Diego for the weekend to do some relaxing after the stress of my parent’s recent move.  While we were walking around Coronado Island on…

  • Harris’ House from “L.A. Story”

    Another L.A. Story location that production designer Lawrence Miller talked about in “The L.A. of L.A. Story” featurette included on the 1991 comedy’s 15th Anniversary Edition DVD was the Spanish-style dwelling where wacky weatherman Harris K. Telemacher (Steve Martin) lived.  And even though the address of the home had been listed on the L.A. Story…
