The “Crossroads” Grocery Store

The Win A Date With Tad Hamilton Motel
‘ I’”‘”‘ve said it before and I’”‘”‘ll say it again – I heart Josh Duhamel! Sigh! So, last week, on a whim, I decided to do some stalking of fave movie Win A Date With Tad Hamilton. A few years back I had read on IMDB that Win A Date was shot almost entirely on location in a…

The Never Been Kissed House
‘ Last weekend, thanks to fellow stalker Chas, I was able to stalk a location I’”‘”‘ve been on the lookout for for quite some time – Drew Barrymore’”‘”‘s childhood home from fave romantic comedy Never Been Kissed.

Jimmie’s House from “Pulp Fiction” – the Correct One!
‘ Last week, a location photographer named Cris emailed me to ask for some stalking help.

Thornton Gardens from “Funny Girl”
‘ I have never been a big Barbra Streisand fan. Sure, she’s an undeniably talented singer – and actress and director, for that matter – but I’m just not that into music. And that whole Rosie-O’Donnell-having-to-rearrange-her-stage-to-showcase-Barbra’s-better-side thing really turned me off. I won’t even get in to her absolutely cringe-worthy Inside the Actors Studio interview. …

The Plaza Hotel – New York’s Most Exciting Hotel Experience?
‘ One New York building that I have long been wanting to stalk is the famed Plaza Hotel – a location that was referred to in Home Alone 2: Lost In New York as “New York’”‘”‘s most exciting hotel experience”. During my first trip to the Big Apple, in December of 2005, the Plaza was…

Pawn Shop to the Stars
‘ Another day, another pawn shop to write about. 🙂 Ironically, just around the corner from the now defunct Beverly Hills, 90210 pawn shop that I blogged about yesterday, is yet another local pawn shop that also has a filming history. Who knew that pawn shops were such popular filming locations?? 🙂 Angelo’”‘”‘s Jewelry and…

The “Big” Paddleball Court
‘ Another day, another Big location. And, sadly, this is actually the last Big location that I have to blog about. 🙁 Well, from this year’s New York trip, anyway. Being that fellow stalker Owen recently tracked down both the MacMillan Toys headquarters and Tom Hank’s loft from the movie, it looks like I’ll have…
