  • First Church of Christ, Scientist from “Little Fires Everywhere”

    Though I stalked and blogged about Little Fires Everywhere locations ad nauseam, amazingly there is still one spot I have yet to cover – Pasadena’s First Church of Christ, Scientist, which masked as the Shaker Heights courthouse on the new Hulu series.  I recognized the building as soon as it came onscreen in episode 7…

  • The Lemonade Stand from “Little Fires Everywhere”

    The Little Fires Everywhere finale left me flabbergasted!  Maybe I paid too much attention to the series’ locations and not enough to its character development because I was rather shocked when (spoiler alert!) Elena Richardson (Reese Witherspoon) was painted as the story’s villain.  Were we supposed to hate her from the outset?  I liked her! …

  • Fair Oaks Burger from “Little Fires Everywhere”

    I have never been a burger girl (I know, I know), but I’ve long been familiar with Altadena staple Fair Oaks Burger.  The veteran eatery sits at the northern end of Fair Oaks Avenue and, though I never popped in for a bite, I passed by it countless times throughout the 15+ years I lived…

  • The McCullough Residence from “Little Fires Everywhere”

    I knew I would love Little Fires Everywhere long before it premiered.  One look at the trailer had me drooling!  A confounding mystery at its center, Reese Witherspoon at the helm, a setting that is almost a character, and two of my favorite cuties, Joshua Jackson and Geoff Stults, in lead roles.  What’s not to…

  • Hotel Barclay from “Little Fires Everywhere”

    Not only do The Morning Show and Little Fires Everywhere share a leading lady, Reese Witherspoon, but the two new series also seem to be sharing locations!  Both made use of The Wolves, an insanely beautiful downtown Los Angeles bar that I blogged about in December, as well as Hotel Barclay, a historic and oft-filmed…

  • Le Petit Paris from “Little Fires Everywhere”

    Reese Witherspoon is deserving of a major ‘thank you’ from me!  Per the actress’ recent productions, I have been introduced to two fabulous downtown Los Angeles restaurants!  The first, The Wolves, popped up twice on her Apple TV+ series The Morning Show.  And now, via Little Fires Everywhere, I’ve discovered Le Petit Paris, a striking…

  • Mia’s House from “Little Fires Everywhere”

    Reese Witherspoon certainly is the darling of streaming TV!  First Big Little Lies (that’s HBO, but still), then The Morning Show, then Truth Be Told (which she executive-produced) and now Little Fires Everywhere.  The latter, which is currently airing on Hulu, is an adaptation of Celest Ng’s 2017 book of the same name.  Centering around…

  • The “She’s Out of Control” House – Part 2

    One of my favorite parts of writing my blog each day is uncovering the various productions a particular locale has appeared in.  Some spots are so prevalent on the big and small screen that I inevitably miss a role or two, though.  Such was the case with the South Pasadena pad that portrayed the home…

  • The Tate Mansion from “Soap”

    I have a pretty amazing memory, especially when it comes to things most people find useless, such as filming locations and movie quotes.  I’m like a vault.  Or an elephant.  Once something enters my brain, it locks in and I don’t forget it.  So I was shocked when I received an email a couple of…
