    “The Bedroom Window” Apartment

    ‘ I am always on the lookout for new thrillers and scary movies to watch, especially during this time of year.  While researching Baltimore locations in preparation for our recent trip to the Old Line State, I came across information about the brownstone apartment featured in The Bedroom Window.  I had never seen the 1987…

    Pasadena Elks Lodge from “Veep”

    ‘ Anyone who has visited Pasadena has likely taken note of the sprawling pillared building situated on the southeast corner of Colorado and Orange Grove Boulevards.  As the many signs adorning the structure indicate, it serves as Elks Lodge #672.  I passed the site regularly during the 15+ years I called Crown City home and…

    A Day Off . . . Again!

    O.J.’s Mansion from “The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story”

    ‘ The Grim Cheaper and I are absolutely hooked on the new FX series The People v. O.J.

    Charles Mulligan’s Steakhouse from “Parks and Recreation”

    ‘ This past March I wrote The Complete Parks and Recreation Guide to Los Angeles for L.A. magazine.  At the time of the posting, though, I had yet to visit every location featured on the list.  The most glaring omission from my stalking profile was Whiskey Bend, the Burbank bar that masqueraded as Charles Mulligan’s…

  • The Former Site of the “Eight Is Enough” House

    The Former Site of the “Eight Is Enough” House

    ‘ One of my biggest filming location pet peeves is when an unfound spot from an old movie or television show is explained away as having been demolished without any evidence to support that allegation.  Like Whitney Houston, I wanna see the receipts!  So when I recently came across an Eight Is Enough message board…

  • The Brothers and Sisters House

    The Brothers and Sisters House

    ‘ Got a last week from who wanted me to do some stalking of the house used in the ABC series . I’”‘”‘d actually gotten this challenge once before, but since I had never really watched the show, I hadn’”‘”‘t put much effort into stalking it. But then I saw the house on and he…

    The Ambassador Hotel

    ‘ Katharine Hepburn once said, “I have many regrets and I’”‘”‘m sure everyone does. The stupid things you do, you regret . . . if you have any sense.” Katharine was right. One of my biggest regrets in life is that I never got to see the Ambassador Hotel in person before it was torn…
