  • The Mercantile from “Major Crimes”

    The Mercantile from “Major Crimes”

    During a recent stalking adventure with Mike, from MovieShotsLA, the two of us passed by a unique building in Hollywood housing a restaurant named The Mercantile.  While we did not have time to stop in that day, I made a mental note to revisit it for a meal at a later date.  So I was…

  • The Bistro Garden

    The Bistro Garden

    A couple of weeks ago, while searching online for different filming locations from The Office, I came across some information about an area restaurant which not only appeared in The Office, but in countless other productions over the years, as well – the Bistro Garden in Studio City.  So, I, of course, dragged the Grim…

  • The Venice Christmas Show

    The Venice Christmas Show

    This past weekend, my good friend and fellow stalker Kerry and her husband flew out to California for a little Winter stalking visit.  The main purpose of their trip was to attend a Christmas concert on Saturday night put on by a local band named Venice.  Kerry has been a fan of Venice since she…

  • The Lewis Estate from “American Woman”

    The Lewis Estate from “American Woman”

    The internet has been going crazy as of late over images of Quentin Tarantino’s latest movie Once Upon a Time in Hollywood filming on location in L.A.  The period piece, which stars Brad Pitt, Leonardo DiCaprio and Luke Perry (OMG!) and chronicles the murder of Sharon Tate, is set in 1960s Tinseltown.  As Tarantino said…

  • Now! Clothing from “L.A. Story”

    Now! Clothing from “L.A. Story”

    My second most-wanted location from the 1991 classic comedy L.A. Story was Now!, the ultra-hip clothing store with unisex dressing rooms where SanDeE* (my girl Sarah Jessica Parker) worked.  (My first most-wanted was, of course, the iconic freeway sign that I blogged about last Thursday.)  So I was floored to see that the locale was…

  • The Correct “A Nightmare on Elm Street” Bridge

    The Correct “A Nightmare on Elm Street” Bridge

    While stalking the Venice Canals (the history of which you can read about on yesterday’s post about Lana Clarkson’s former home) with Mike, from MovieShotsLA, last July, he mentioned that there was some misinformation floating around online about the Venice Canal bridge that appeared in the 1984 horror flick A Nightmare on Elm Street.  Mike…

  • Claire and Phil’s House from “Modern Family”

    Claire and Phil’s House from “Modern Family”

    A few weeks back I received an email from a fellow stalker in the Nebraska area who had just recently started his very own filming locations blog entitled .  This stalker’s name was Robert Patterson and I have to admit that when I first saw his email a red flag went up, as I thought…

  • Slacking Off . . . Again!

    Slacking Off . . . Again!

    I unfortunately do not have a blog to post for today (yet again!), but I do have a good excuse.  My dad had surgery yesterday at Cedars- Sinai Hospital to determine how much damage was done to his pancreas over the past three years while he was taking the medication that caused his pancreatitis.  What…

  • L.A. Bound

    L.A. Bound

    It has been said that you can’t go home again, but the Grim Cheaper and I are doing just that this weekend by heading out to Los Angeles for a couple of days.  I have an appointment at the Pasadena Blo-Out Lounge, a coffee date with Marci from Lula Mae, all sorts of fun adventures…

  • The Neon Museum Las Vegas

    The Neon Museum Las Vegas

    I was able to check two major items off of my Stalking Bucket List while I was in Sin City this past March.  First was seeing Britney Spears’ “ . . . Baby One More Time” costume at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino.  Second was touring the Neon Museum Las Vegas.  Both experiences definitely…
