  • The “Beautiful Girls” Houses

    The “Beautiful Girls” Houses

    As I remarked last week, one of my very favorite films of all time is the 1996 flick Beautiful Girls.  But, being that no one that I’ve mentioned the movie to as of late has ever even heard of it, I’m guessing it was pretty much a sleeper hit, despite its all-star cast.  Nevertheless, I’ve…

  • The “Grumpy Old Men” Houses

    The “Grumpy Old Men” Houses

    A few locations that my family and I stalked this past week while spending time in the North Star State were the homes which appeared in the 1993 comedy Grumpy Old Men.  I found these locations thanks to fellow stalker Lavonna, who, a few weeks before my trip out to the Midwest, gifted me with…

  • “The Mary Tyler Moore Show” Apartment Building

    “The Mary Tyler Moore Show” Apartment Building

    In 1975, after the real-life owner of The Mary Tyler Moore Show house put a big, fat ixnay on letting the series do any more filming on her property, producers decided to move their spunky heroine to the newly-built, multi-colored apartment complex known as Cedar Square West in the Cedar-Riverside area of Minneapolis.  My parents…

    “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 was…

    The Mary Tyler Moore TV Land Statue

    Well, I am still here with my family at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota.  After a bit of a battle, my dad’s doctor finally agreed to reschedule some of his tests to yesterday afternoon.  The results showed nothing, though, which isn’t that big of a surprise being that the tests the doctor scheduled were…

  • Mayo, Schmayo!

    Mayo, Schmayo!

    Because yesterday was quite possibly one of the worst days in my entire life, I was not able to write a post for today.  I had such high hopes for the Mayo Clinic finding a cure for my dad’s illness, but sadly it has become blindingly apparent that the facility is completely incompetent and inept.  In fact,…

  • On the Set of “NCIS: Los Angeles”

    On the Set of “NCIS: Los Angeles”

    This past Thursday afternoon, my fiancé called me up to let me know that an episode of NCIS: Los Angeles was being filmed at the YWCA building in Pasadena, just a few blocks away from his office.  So, I immediately grabbed my jacket and my camera and headed over to the set with one goal in…

  • Mayo Clinic – Here We Come!

    Mayo Clinic – Here We Come!

    Because I spent all day Saturday en route to Minnesota to accompany my dad to the Mayo Clinic and because I spent all day Sunday STALKING the Twin Cities (I stalked a record 18 locations in all), I had no time to write a blog post for today.  So, I am taking the day off, but…

  • Carol Burnett’s Childhood Home

    Carol Burnett’s Childhood Home

    A few weeks ago, fellow stalker Lavonna gifted me with a copy of one of her all-time favorite books, Carol Burnett’s autobiography entitled One More Time: A Memoir.  I finished reading the tome this past week and, let me tell you, I absolutely loved it!  Even though I’ve never been a huge Carol Burnett fan…

  • Charlie’s Apartment Building from “Monster-in-Law”

    Charlie’s Apartment Building from “Monster-in-Law”

    The third and final Monster-in-Law locale that I set out to find this past weekend was the supposed Venice Beach area apartment building where Charlie Cantilini (aka Jennifer Lopez) lived in the flick.  Fellow stalker Nick had already determined that the Spanish-style building was located somewhere in Hollywood, so from there I set out on…
