    The Emser Tile Building from “Lethal Weapon”

    ‘ Located just up the street from the original Barney’s Beanery restaurant in West Hollywood, which I blogged about last Friday, is the Emser Tile Building which appeared in a very memorable scene in the first Lethal Weapon movie.  And even though I have never actually seen any of the four Lethal Weapon flicks (I…

  • The Bates Motel

    The Bates Motel

    ‘ Today’s location would be better suited for a Haunted Hollywood post, but because it is set to be torn down by the end of the year, I figured time was of the essence.  While spending the week in L.A. last month with my good buddies Kim and Katie (that’s Katie pictured above), a friend…

  • The “Lizzie McGuire” House

    The “Lizzie McGuire” House

    ‘ Though I am unabashedly a tween at heart, one show that I never got into was Lizzie McGuire.  I have always liked Hilary Duff, so I am unsure of why exactly the show remained off my radar.  Regardless, I was thrilled when a fellow stalker named Gina posted a comment on my site recently…

    Happy Martin Luther King Day!

    ‘ I will be taking today off in honor of Martin Luther King Day.  I hope all of my fellow stalkers have a fabulous three-day weekend and I promise to be back tomorrow with a whole new post. Until next time, Happy Stalking! ‘

  • Afton Arms – “The Boys Next Door” Apartment Building

    Afton Arms – “The Boys Next Door” Apartment Building

    ‘ A couple of months ago, Mike, from MovieShotsLA, informed me of a location that he thought was right up my alley due to its vast and storied Hollywood history – the Afton Arms apartment building from the movie The Boys Next Door.  After Mike mentioned it, I attempted to watch the 1985 flick –…

  • The Many Apartments of Carrie Bradshaw on “Sex and the City”

    The Many Apartments of Carrie Bradshaw on “Sex and the City”

    ‘ While it is quite common for locations to shift after the pilot episode of a television series is shot (as I’ve mentioned countless times before on this blog), changes are typically few and far between from that point forward.  The vast majority of my favorite shows tend to play fast and loose with their…

  • Regular Jon’s Pizza from “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off”

    Regular Jon’s Pizza from “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off”

    ‘ Fellow stalker Chas, of the It’sFilmedThere website, recently texted me to let me know he had tracked down a location that I had been curious about for what seemed like forever – the pizza parlor from Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.  Thanks to John Hughes’ DVD commentary of the flick, I knew that the restaurant…

  • Voletta Wallace’s House from “Unsolved: The Murders of Tupac & the Notorious B.I.G.”

    Voletta Wallace’s House from “Unsolved: The Murders of Tupac & the Notorious B.I.G.”

    ‘ I have never been a fan of rap.  My musical tastes tend to run far more tepid (read: Michael Bublé, Michael Jackson, Britney Spears, and ‘80s pop).  The Grim Cheaper likes to joke that my iPod song list hasn’t been updated since I first got the device back in 2001.  Regardless, when I heard…

  • The Pasadena House Where the Prom in “Twilight” Was Filmed

    The Pasadena House Where the Prom in “Twilight” Was Filmed

    ‘ One location that I have been on the lookout for for what seems like forever now is the Pasadena-area home where part of the prom scene from the original Twilight movie was filmed.  I first found out about this location while browsing through Catherine Hardwick’s fabulous book Twilight: Director’s Notebook at my local bookstore. …

  • Happy  Memorial Day!

    Happy Memorial Day!

    ‘ A very happy Memorial Day to my fellow stalkers.  I hope we all take time today to remember the reason behind the holiday – to honor those who lost their lives protecting our freedoms.  I am taking the day off, but will be back tomorrow with a giveaway.   Until then, Happy Stalking! ‘
