Bugsy Siegel’s Former Resort – Club Arrowhead of the Pines
‘ Another place that I stalked while visiting Lake Arrowhead this past Thanksgiving was the Bracken Fern Manor country inn, which in the 1930’s was part of a private gambling club/resort named Club Arrowhead of the Pines that was run by none other than legendary mobster Bugsy Siegel. Because the Grim Cheaper is obsessed with…

Barb’s Quickie Grill from “Pretty Woman”
‘ Another Pretty Woman location that I spent countless hours trying to track down recently was the tiny café where Vivian Ward (Julia Roberts) and Edward Lewis (Richard Gere) had dinner towards the end of the classic 1990 flick. And while the name of the establishment – “Barb’s Quickie Grill” – and a street number…

Rise N Grind from “Veep”
‘ I have never been one for New Year’s resolutions. That being said, in 2018 I am hoping to regularly exercise, be kinder (to myself and others), drink more water and less champagne, and cut down on my daily latte regimen. The last one is going to be much easier said than done. No matter…

The Incorrectly Identified “Leave It to Beaver” House
‘ Last week, the latest issue of Los Angeles Magazine arrived in my mailbox and I, of course, tore the thing right open and devoured it in one sitting, as I do pretty much every month.

The Nightmare on Elm Street Houses
‘ While all of my friends and family are, for the most part, very supportive of my stalking endeavors, I still quite often get asked the question, “Do people really care about this stuff?” and “Can you explain your website to me, because I just don’”‘”‘t get it.” LOL One of the people who “just doesn’”‘”‘t get…

“The Mary Tyler Moore Show” House
‘ Well, after three days and a whopping (insert sarcasm here) three tests (including a blood test, an ultra-sound, and a CAT scan, each of which my dad has undergone numerous times with his doctors at home over the past two years), we have been discharged from the Mayo Clinic sans diagnosis. The doctor’”‘”‘s sole recommendation…

Latest Discover L.A. Article – About SciFi Locations
‘ Be sure to check out my latest article for Discover Los Angeles. I went quite a bit outside of my comfort zone for this one and wrote about unusual landscapes and buildings featured in iconic science fiction movies – a genre I am not a huge fan of. I think it turned out well…

Julia Harris’ House from “Horrible Bosses”
‘ Another location that the Grim Cheaper and I ventured out in the pouring rain to stalk two weekends ago was the ultra-modern abode where Dr. Julia Harris, D.D.S. (aka my girl Jen Aniston) lived in the (horrible) 2011 comedy Horrible Bosses. I was informed of this location via a text from fellow stalker Chas,…

Chabelita Tacos from “Truth or Dare”
‘ Roadside taco stands don’t usually conjure up images of the macabre. Today’s locale is no different. In fact, the eatery – Chabelita Tacos – is a bright and colorful addition to the Harvard Heights skyline. But since it did appear in a memorable scene in the 2018 horror flick Truth or Dare, I thought…
