  • The Inspiration for the “Annie” Orphanage

    The Inspiration for the “Annie” Orphanage

    ‘ My movie obsession began at a young age.  I can pretty much pinpoint it to 1982 when Annie premiered.  I was hooked on the musical from the start.  I watched it over and over and over, eventually wearing out the VHS copy that my parents bought me.  Its locations have also served as a…

    Steve’s House from “Dead to Me”

    ‘ I have a major thing for modern houses.  So it’s no shock that my favorite locale from the new Netflix series Dead to Me is the uber-contemporary abode belonging to Judy Hale’s (Linda Cardellini) ex, Steve Wood (James Marsden).  Huge, avant-garde and decidedly unique, I fell in love with the place as soon as…

    ‘ They say the third time’s the charm, but I attempted to stalk today’s location on no less than ten different occasions before finally being successful!  Lacy Street Production Center, the exterior of which portrayed the site of a rave in an episode of Stitchers, is an actual working studio and, unfortunately, each time I…

  • The “L.A. Story” Freeway Sign

    The “L.A. Story” Freeway Sign

    ‘ One locale that the Grim Cheaper suggested I track down a few years back – and that I have wondered about ever since – was the spot where the freeway sign from the 1991 classic comedy L.A. Story once stood.  Because it was a prop sign that was situated on a long expanse of…

    Entertainment Recommendations to Beat the Shelter-at-Home Blues

    ‘ These definitely are some uncertain, scary times, to say the least.  The one silver lining to my dad’s recent hospital stay is that I binged a lot of TV, read quite a few books and listened to a bunch of podcasts, which means I have a slew of new entertainment favorites to share with…

    The Alhambra from “NCIS”

    ‘ Sometimes you go years wondering about a location only to find out that it is right in your own backyard.  For what seemed like ages, I had wanted to track down the United States Criminal Investigative Service office from NCIS.  I had a feeling that the series used two different structures – one for…
