  • Vertical Wine Bistro

    Vertical Wine Bistro

    Even though I am not usually a going-out-on-New-Year’s-Eve type of girl, this year I wanted nothing more than to ring in 2010 with a glass of champagne at my very favorite restaurant, POP Champagne Bar in Pasadena.  But being that I am not now, nor never have been, a night person – I can’t tell…

  • Happy 2010!

    Happy 2010!

    Just a quick note to wish all of my fellow stalkers a very Happy New Year’s 2010!  I will be taking today off to celebrate with family and watch the Rose Parade, but I’ll be back on Monday with a whole new post.  🙂  Here’s wishing everyone a very safe and very happy New Year’s!

  • The Blair House Inn from “Murder, She Wrote”

    The Blair House Inn from “Murder, She Wrote”

    Way back in August, I received an email from a fellow stalker named Jenny who wanted to know if I had ever stalked Mendocino’s Blair House Inn – a quaint little Victorian bed and breakfast better known as Jessica Fletcher’s (aka Angela Lansbury’s) residence on the long-running television series Murder, She Wrote.  And, amazingly enough,…

  • The “Keep It Together” Park from “Beverly Hills, 90210”

    The “Keep It Together” Park from “Beverly Hills, 90210”

    Another location that Mike, from MovieShotsLA, and I visited during our Valley stalking day back in October was the Van Nuys – Sherman Oaks War Memorial Park, aka the spot where Brandon Walsh was “discovered” in the Season One episode of Beverly Hills, 90210 entitled “Fame Is Where You Find It”.    The War Memorial Park…

  • Tamale Heaven from “Beverly Hills, 90210”

    Tamale Heaven from “Beverly Hills, 90210”

    One location that Mike, from MovieShotsLA, has been begging me to blog about for over a year now is the Canoga Park burger restaurant that stood in for Tamale Heaven in the Season Two episode of Beverly Hills, 90210 entitled “Ashes to Ashes”.  In real life that restaurant is named Michael’s Burgers and even though…

  • Wollman Ice Skating Rink

    Wollman Ice Skating Rink

    I’m sticking with my Christmas stalking theme for one more day – even though it’s already December 28th – as I had originally intended to publish this post on Christmas Eve, but, unfortunately, ran out of time.  As I’ve said many times before, though, it’s better to be late than never!   So, here goes!  One…

  • Christmas Tree Lane

    Christmas Tree Lane

    Last December, I blogged about a house in Altadena known as the Balian Mansion, or, as I like to call it, the real Clark W. Griswold house (pictured above).  And even though the mansion has appeared only briefly onscreen – in the movie Obsessed and in an early episode of Beverly Hills, 90210 – the…

  • The Martini House from “It’s A Wonderful Life”

    The Martini House from “It’s A Wonderful Life”

    As difficult as it may be to believe, even though I absolutely love Christmas and even though I am a huge film buff, up until this past weekend I had never in my life watched the 1946 holiday classic It’s A Wonderful Life. I know, I know, for a person like me, not having seen…

  • Bullocks Wilshire – The Department Store from “Christmas Vacation”

    Bullocks Wilshire – The Department Store from “Christmas Vacation”

    One location that I have been dying to stalk for months now is the former Bullocks Wilshire department store located just outside of Downtown Los Angeles  – a spot which has been featured in countless productions since its grand opening way back in 1929.  And, even though I am usually a big fan of immediate…

  • Nakatomi Plaza from “Die Hard”

    Nakatomi Plaza from “Die Hard”

    Because we are currently knee deep in the middle of the Christmas Season – which just so happens to be my favorite season 🙂 –  I decided to focus my next few blog posts on locations featured in holiday movies.   And what better way to start off those Christmas posts than to blog about Nakatomi…
