    Another Few Days Off

    Sorry to leave y’all hanging, but I will also be taking Monday and Tuesday of this week off.  I will be back on Wednesday, though, with a whole new stalking location!    I hope all of my fellow stalkers had a fabulous Thanksgiving! Until next time, Happy Stalking!

  • Diane’s House from “Say Anything . . . “

    Diane’s House from “Say Anything . . . “

    I have been on a major Say Anything . . . kick lately thanks to a soon-to-be published post I recently wrote for Discover Los Angeles.  While doing research for the article, I became a bit fixated on tracking down an unknown location from the 1989 romcom (one that I still have yet to find,…

  • The Site of Sanford and Son Salvage from “Sanford and Son”

    The Site of Sanford and Son Salvage from “Sanford and Son”

    There’s pretty much nothing I relish more than diving into the nitty-gritty when proving or disproving a location – especially if that location is from an old production and/or is no longer in existence.  I love the challenge of it.  I recently had the pleasure of delving into one such case thanks to a fellow…

  • Abbey San Encino from “Dexter”

    Abbey San Encino from “Dexter”

    As I have mentioned several times before on this blog, I absolutely cannot watch an episode of fave show Dexter without having my iPad next to me and a web-browser open to the Seeing Stars website’s extensive Dexter filming locations page.  And this season has been no different.  While watching the episode titled “Once Upon…

  • Roscoe “Fatty” Arbuckle’s Former West Adams Houses

    Roscoe “Fatty” Arbuckle’s Former West Adams Houses

    I just finished reading a fabulous book about one of Hollywood’s first and biggest controversies titled Room 1219:  The Life of Fatty Arbuckle, the Mysterious Death of Virginia Rappe, and the Scandal That Changed Hollywood by Greg Merritt.  Prior to reading the tome, I knew little about actor/comedian Roscoe “Fatty” Arbuckle, but had always been…

  • Eastern State Penitentiary

    Eastern State Penitentiary

    Prior to traveling anywhere, I read copious amounts about the place I plan on visiting.  Copious amounts, from sources including books, magazines, websites, guides, and blogs.  My favorite travel guides are the Eyewitness Travel books published by DK.  Before my recent trip back east, during which we visited Washington, D.C., Baltimore, and Philadelphia, I purchased…

  • The Los Feliz “Murder House”

    The Los Feliz “Murder House”

    I can honestly say that out of all of the locations that I have ever stalked in my entire life, the subject of today’s post is hands down the most perplexing and mind-boggling!  Last week, when I called up Mike, from MovieShotsLA, to tell him that Geoff, from the 90210locations website, had tracked down the…

  • Watching the Filming of “True Blood”

    Watching the Filming of “True Blood”

    Last Wednesday evening I got a text from the owner of POP Champagne & Dessert Bar – my very favorite restaurant and the spot where the Grim Cheaper and I held the rehearsal dinner for our wedding last August – alerting me to the fact that the hit HBO television series True Blood would be…

  • Anavrin from “You”

    Anavrin from “You”

    I loved Season 1 of You, but Season 2 was even more gripping, engrossing and enjoyable!  I think a large part of that had to do with Anavrin (pronounced “uh-nah-vrin”), the impossibly idyllic grocery store where Joe Goldberg (Penn Badgley) landed a job in episode 1, “A Fresh Start,” and worked throughout.  The charming market…

    Be sure to check out my latest Los Angeles magazine article about the Sanderson house from The Grinder, my new favorite TV show.  My articles typically get published in the early afternoon hours.
