  • Shaheen’s House from "Into the Night"

    Shaheen’s House from "Into the Night"

    ‘ Last week, fellow stalker Owen, from the When Write Is Wrong blog, emailed me with the following message, “I know you aren’”‘”‘t big on blogging about popular movie locations, especially those discussed elsewhere on the Internet (which is why I have SADLY never been able to read about Marty McFly’”‘”‘s house on your site!!!),…

  • Gray’s Papaya

    Gray’s Papaya

    ‘ I know I have blogged about this location briefly once before in my , but I think this is one location that is worthy of its very own blog post. So here goes. 🙂 I have long been a fan of Gray’”‘”‘s Papaya, a small hot dog stand/restaurant chain that was started in 1973…

  • The “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off” House

    The “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off” House

    ‘ has long been one of my favorite movies. So I was completely floored when I found out that Ferris’”‘”‘ house from the movie was located in Southern California! was filmed almost entirely on location in Chicago, Illinois, but for some reason producers chose a house on the West Coast, in Long Beach, California, to…

  • Brad and Jen’s Honeymoon Hotel

    Brad and Jen’s Honeymoon Hotel

    ‘ As I mentioned in yesterday’”‘”‘s post, this weekend was a big one for me.  The biggest perhaps!   My boyfriend (of over eight and a half years!!) finally popped the question!!!!!!!!!!!  🙂   And I, of course, said yes!  This changes things quite a bit for me, as from now on I will no longer be dragging…

  • The “License to Drive” Hospital

    The “License to Drive” Hospital

    ‘ A couple of weeks ago, the Grim Cheaper and I headed to L.A. for a brief visit and just happened to book a hotel on the west side of town for our stay.  The location turned out to be quite fortuitous, too, as it allowed me to stalk a few nearby spots that had…

  • George Clooney’s Former Digs

    George Clooney’s Former Digs

    ‘ This past weekend, thanks to my new favorite book Movie Star Homes: The Famous to the Forgotten, I was able to stalk George Clooney‘”‘”‘s former Studio City house.  Now, to be completely honest, I am not a big fan of George Clooney.  I’”‘”‘ll admit that he’”‘”‘s OK-looking, but for some reason he just doesn’”‘”‘t do it…

  • The “Beautiful Girls” Bus Stop

    The “Beautiful Girls” Bus Stop

    ‘ The fourth and final Stillwater location that my family and I stalked while in Minnesota two weeks ago was the “Knight’s Ridge, Massachusetts” bus stop where Willie Conway (aka Timothy Hutton) was first dropped off upon returning home for his high school reunion at the very beginning of fave movie Beautiful Girls.  In real…

    The Motown 25: Yesterday, Today, Forever Special

    ‘ I know, I know – it was just last week that I promised not to let my blog go on Michael Jackson overload, but I’”‘”‘m sorry, this one was a must-post!  🙂  The other day, while reading one of the many Michael Jackson tribute magazines that have been published since the pop star’”‘”‘s death – and yes, I bought them all…

  • Santa Monica Cop

    Santa Monica Cop

    ‘ This weekend I dragged my boyfriend to stalk the mansion that Eddie Murphy and his new cop buddies storm at the end of the movie Beverly Hills Cop. The house is not actually located in Beverly Hills, but a good 20 minutes in Santa Monica. The home is absolutely ginormous – I mean the…

  • Police Doubt Fire . . .

    Police Doubt Fire . . .

    ‘ One of my favorite movie lines of all time is “It was a run-by fruiting!” from Mrs. Doubtfire – Robin William says the line to Pierce Brosnan after throwing a piece of fruit at his head at the local pool. LOL So, this weekend, the Mrs. Doubtfire house was on my must-see list of…
