    My Guide to L.A. – Coffee

    ‘ I love coffee pretty much more than life itself, but very rarely do I visit independent coffee houses.  I am all about my Starbucks.  I know, I know, true java aficionados are probably shaking their heads right now.  But I like consistency – I like knowing that I can go into any Starbucks in…

    My Guide to L.A. – Restaurants

    ‘ I need to preface this post by stating that I am not in any way, shape or form a foodie.  I enjoy good, fresh fare, but my meal preferences consist mainly of old fashioned comfort foods (you’ll notice many mentions of different fried chicken entrées in the list below).  If a restaurant has bone…

    My Guide to L.A. – Hotels

    ‘ I am constantly told that I would make a great concierge for the city of Los Angeles.  I have explored L.A. so much over the years that I know it like the back of my hand and have accumulated a large inventory of favorite places.  I recently decided to corral that inventory into a…

    Going on Vacation!

    ‘ I am currently on vacation in L.A. with my family and will not be publishing any new blog posts for the next week or so.  Our trip is planned to last two weeks, but we are keeping things up in the air depending on how my dad is feeling.  I will definitely be back…

    That Pink Door

  • The Bates Motel

    The Bates Motel

    ‘ Today’s location would be better suited for a Haunted Hollywood post, but because it is set to be torn down by the end of the year, I figured time was of the essence.  While spending the week in L.A. last month with my good buddies Kim and Katie (that’s Katie pictured above), a friend…

    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…

    A Weeklong Visit to L.A. with Friends!

    ‘ I am heading to L.A. today to spend the next week with my friends Kim and Katie who are visiting from Kentucky (that’s Kim above during a visit last November).  We have a ton of fun stalking activities planned (you can follow along on Instagram) that will not leave any time for blogging, so…

    Happy Memorial Day!

    ‘ I would like to wish all of my fellow stalkers a very happy Memorial Day.  I hope everyone takes a moment today to remember what the holiday is truly about – not three-day weekends or BBQs, but honoring those who passed away while fighting for our country’s freedom. ‘
