  • The Buhrman House from “Truth Be Told”

    The Buhrman House from “Truth Be Told”

    ‘ I am a firm believer in love at first sight.  I definitely had hearts in my eyes upon catching a glimpse of the stunning Victorian where the Buhrman family lived on Truth Be Told.  The towering Queen Anne, pitched atop a leafy hill, was striking, to say the least, and I promptly set out…

  • The Andrew McNally House from “Kingdom Come”

    The Andrew McNally House from “Kingdom Come”

    ‘ Los Angeles never ceases to surprise me.  Though I feel like I know the city and its environs like the back of my hand and have spent the last decade of my life researching its locations, I am constantly learning of new spots that I had no idea even existed.  Such was the case…

  • Gramma-Jess’ House from “Poltergeist II: The Other Side”

    Gramma-Jess’ House from “Poltergeist II: The Other Side”

    ‘ I have never seen Poltergeist, which, considering my love of the ‘80s and all things spooky, is rather shocking.  I tried to remedy the situation this past weekend, but the Grim Cheaper was having none of it, unfortunately.  I did recently stalk a location from the sequel, Poltergeist II: The Other Side, though.  I…

  • Leslie Knope’s House from “Parks and Recreation”

    Leslie Knope’s House from “Parks and Recreation”

    ‘ A few months ago, fellow stalker Brandon (the very same stalker who tracked down the Skyline Residence from Crazy, Stupid, Love., which I blogged about back in November) emailed me to ask for some help in locating the Craftsman-style abode where Leslie Knope (Amy Poehler) lives on the television series Parks and Recreation.  And…

  • Mountain View Mausoleum from “Lucifer”

    Mountain View Mausoleum from “Lucifer”

    ‘ Given my proclivity for graveyards and extensive knowledge of Los Angeles (especially the Pasadena area), it is shocking that I only learned of Altadena’s Mountain View Mausoleum a few months ago.  Sure I’ve visited the neighboring Mountain View Cemetery numerous times and even dedicated a post to it, but somehow I never knew about…

  • 90210’s Baby Mama’s House

    90210’s Baby Mama’s House

    ‘ While stalking the 90210 house last week, the owner, Jack, told Mike [of MovieShotsLA – as if you didn’”‘”‘t already know by now :)] and me about a few Beverly Hills, 90210 filming locations that we had yet to locate. One location was the home of Brandon’”‘”‘s love interest from the Season 1 episode…

  • Bradley’s Mom’s House from “The Morning Show”

    Bradley’s Mom’s House from “The Morning Show”

    ‘ The Morning Show really threw me for a loop, location-wise (as I mentioned in this recent post).  Set in NYC, I got through the entire first episode of the new Apple TV+ series thinking it was shot in the Big Apple, as well.  I did have a couple moments of hesitation in that belief…

  • The Obsessed House

    The Obsessed House

    ‘ A few weeks ago, Mike, from MovieShotsLA, called me up and said, “Where is that big pink house in Altadena that you stalked a while back?”  Well, I had absolutely no idea what on earth he was talking about!  For some reason, a “big pink house in Altadena” just wasn’”‘”‘t ringing any bells with me. …

  • Farnsworth Park

    Farnsworth Park

    ‘ My favorite movie of all time has got to be Dirty Dancing. I’”‘”‘ve loved the coming-of-age film ever since I was about 13 years old.  Oh, how I wanted to be Baby!  🙂  Growing up, I made my best guy friend practice doing “the lift” with me everytime we were in a swimming pool.  LOL   And, like…

  • Fill ‘Er Up!

    Fill ‘Er Up!

    ‘ In the film-friendly city of Altadena, where pretty much every other house has been featured in a movie or television show, it seems that even the gas stations are famous! 🙂 Last week, while doing some Altadena stalking with Mike, from MovieShotsLA, he drove me by Ronnie’”‘”‘s Automotive, a gas and service station that…
