  • Cordelia’s Apartment Building from “Angel”

    Cordelia’s Apartment Building from “Angel”

    In mid-January, fellow stalker Ashley, of The Drewseum, asked for some help in tracking down the Moorish-style apartment building where Cordelia Chase (Charisma Carpenter) lived on the Buffy the Vampire Slayer spinoff series Angel.  She sent me a link to this image of the building and, even though I had never seen an episode of…

  • Happy Fourth of July!

    Happy Fourth of July!

    I would like to wish all of my fellow stalkers a very happy Fourth of July!  I will be celebrating the holiday today with my family, but will be back on Monday with a whole new location. Until next time, Happy Stalking!

  • Shakers Family Restaurant from “Old School”

    Shakers Family Restaurant from “Old School”

    Today’s locale is another one of those facepalm spots.  For ages, I had been trying to track down the interior of the diner where Mitch (Owen Wilson) and the boys discussed saving their fraternity in the 2003 comedy Old School.  While I had long known that Montrose Bakery & Café (which, sadly, Yelp is reporting…

  • The Great Quake of ’08!

    The Great Quake of ’08!

    Yesterday morning at around 11:42am a fairly large earthquake hit the LA area. I received a text message from a friend, who forgot that I am currently on vacation in Hawaii, asking if I felt the quake. My first thought was ” OMG! My Marilyn Merlot bottle!” LOL The bottle of Marilyn wine that my…

  • The House Where Nick Adams Died

    The House Where Nick Adams Died

    As I have mentioned a few times over the past couple of months, fellow stalker E.J., from The Movieland Directory website, recently published an e-book about Old Hollywood titled Unscripted: Hollywood Back-Stories, Volume 1 (which you can purchase on Nook here and on Kindle here).  The book, which I devoured in less than a day,…

  • L.A. Days

    L.A. Days

    I will be in L.A. for the next few days and won’t have time to write any new blog posts, but I promise to be back on Monday or Tuesday with a whole new location.  In the meantime, you can read my latest interview for my alma mater’s quarterly magazine here. Until next time, Happy…

  • The Whisky a Go Go

    The Whisky a Go Go

    I’ve never really been into music.  As I have mentioned before, if it’s not sung by Michael Bublé, Britney Spears or Michael Jackson, or was not a top ‘80s hit, chances are I haven’t heard it.  But my good friend Kim from Kentucky is a huge music buff, so when she and our good friend…

    “Too Close for Comfort” Final Season Filming Locations

    It’s Day 4 of my friend Michael’s fabulous guest post week here at IAMNOTASTALKER! (You check out his other columns from this week here, here and here, and his previous guest articles here, here, here and here.). Today’s locale is a longtime unknown site from a show I loved as a kid!  Enjoy! Although I’m…

  • Monrovia Bakery from the New “Iceland” Pilot

    Monrovia Bakery from the New “Iceland” Pilot

    During this entire past week, the television pilot for the new Fox comedy series Iceland, which stars Scrubs’ Kerry Bishe, Friday Night Lights’ Zach Gilford, and 24’s John Boyd, has been filming on location on Myrtle Avenue in Old Town Monrovia, just down the street from where my parents now live.  The show, which takes…

  • The “L.A. Story” Fundraiser House

    The “L.A. Story” Fundraiser House

    Another L.A. Story location that I was desperate to track down was the sloped-roof residence where Harris K. Telemacher (Steve Martin) and Sara McDowel (Victoria Tennant) attended a “private art museum” fundraiser in the 1991 comedy.  Because the home was so architecturally unique, I was sure that it would be an easy find.  I was…
