    Roscoe “Fatty” Arbuckle’s Former West Adams Houses

    ‘ I just finished reading a fabulous book about one of Hollywood’s first and biggest controversies titled Room 1219:  The Life of Fatty Arbuckle, the Mysterious Death of Virginia Rappe, and the Scandal That Changed Hollywood by Greg Merritt.  Prior to reading the tome, I knew little about actor/comedian Roscoe “Fatty” Arbuckle, but had always…

    Larry’s Chili Dog from “The Office”

    ‘ Because fellow stalker Lavonna has been in town for the past few days and I have been doing some major stalking with her, today’s post is, unfortunately, going to be a short one.  Sorry about that folks, but I do promise to be back tomorrow with a regular-sized write-up.  And now, on with the…

    Rest in Peace, Michael

    ‘ I was absolutely devastated to learn yesterday of the passing of music legend Michael Jackson.  I had no idea his death would affect me in the way that it did, but I simply could not stop crying.  Due to the sad news of his death, I didn’”‘”‘t feel it would be appropriate to post a regular blog entry today. And while I do realize that…

  • “The Vanishing” Apartment Building

    “The Vanishing” Apartment Building

    ‘ Today’s location is an oldie, but goodie.  Waaaaaaaaaaay back in May 2010, the Grim Cheaper and I took a little pre-wedding stalking vacation to the Pacific Northwest to visit our good friends fellow stalker Kerry and her husband, Jim – and to see the grocery store where Michael Buble’s “Haven’t Met You Yet” music…

  • Gray’s Papaya from “Sex and the City”

    Gray’s Papaya from “Sex and the City”

    ‘ You will never catch anyone calling me a “foodie.”  My palate leans much more toward comfort than epicurean with meals of choice consisting of chicken strips and ranch dressing, turkey and mashed potatoes, and hot dogs.  I am a hot dog fanatic.  My favorite spot to grab a ‘furter is Gray’s Papaya in New…

    Michael Jackson’s Former Condo

    ‘ A few months back I read a fabulous book named Michael Jackson: The Magic, The Madness, The Whole Story written by author J.

    The Marsh House from “Happy Land”

    ‘ Since we’re on the subject of McDonald Avenue (you can read Wednesday’s post about the McDonald Mansion from Pollyanna here), I figured I should write about another of its famous homes.  While doing research on the picturesque Santa Rosa street, one of the area’s most oft-filmed spots, prior to my trip up to Northern…

    Santa Anita Park

    ‘ This weekend, I dragged my fiance out to Santa Anita Park, aka the Santa Anita race track, in Arcadia for some major stalking.  Our original plan was to catch a movie at the theatre located next door to the track, but a funny thing happened on the way to the show. 🙂  While driving to the movies,…
