    The Old Plaza at El Pueblo de Los Angeles from “90210”

    Last week, after reading my post on the Bob’s Big Boy in Burbank in which I mentioned that I had actually stalked the iconic restaurant way back in November, fellow stalker Chas, from the It’sFilmedThere website, sent me a text asking, “If you did not stalk ever again, how many blogs could you write before…

  • The Old Place Restaurant from “Twin Peaks”

    The Old Place Restaurant from “Twin Peaks”

    A couple of weeks ago, I received an email from a fellow stalker named Brad who runs a website named Brad D Studios where, among other things, he chronicles filming locations from David Lynch productions.  I spent the next few hours perusing Brad’s site and was ABSOLUTELY SHOCKED to discover that every episode of the…

  • “Parks and Recreation” Filming at Vroman’s Bookstore in Pasadena

    “Parks and Recreation” Filming at Vroman’s Bookstore in Pasadena

    Last Wednesday, while on my morning walk to Starbucks, I happened to pass by fave bookstore Vroman’s and just about fell over when I noticed an entire slew of production trucks parked out front.  I, of course, immediately sought out one of the crew members to ask what was being filmed and he told me…

  • Le Petit Bistro from “90210”

    Le Petit Bistro from “90210”

    A couple of Saturday nights ago, the Grim Cheaper and I found ourselves in West Hollywood, tired and hungry after a long day of stalking.  We happened to come across an absolutely adorable little French restaurant named Le Petit Bistro and decided to pop in for a bite to eat.  Now, usually I do not…

  • The Miramonte Resort & Spa in Indian Wells

    The Miramonte Resort & Spa in Indian Wells

    One Palm-Springs-area hotel that I have long wanted to vacation at – not because it is a filming location, but because it is just simply beautiful – is the Miramonte Resort & Spa in Indian Wells (now the Tommy Bahama Miramonte).  The Grim Cheaper and I ate dinner at the resort once upon a time…

  • Lucky Strike Lanes in Hollywood

    Lucky Strike Lanes in Hollywood

    Two weekends ago, while doing some stalking in the Hollywood area, I dragged the Grim Cheaper out to the Hollywood & Highland Shopping Center to grab a quick drink at Lucky Strike Lanes, an oft-used filming location and celebrity hot-spot.  While I had first heard about the bowling alley/lounge when it originally opened eight years…

  • The Haunted Mansion from “The Three Sisters” Episode of “Knots Landing’

    The Haunted Mansion from “The Three Sisters” Episode of “Knots Landing’

    Way back in January of this year, a fellow stalker named James posted a comment on my site challenging me to find the haunted mansion which appeared in the Season 3 episode of Knots Landing titled “The Three Sisters”.  James had found an interview on the Knots Landing website in which Kim Lankford, who played…

  • Teddy Montgomery’s House from “90210”

    Teddy Montgomery’s House from “90210”

    As I mentioned in Tuesday’s post, there has not been a lot of time for me to do much stalking as of late and, because of that, I have been feeling a bit out of sorts.  I am also in the process of giving up coffee (I know, I know, that’s crazy talk!), which further…

  • The Manhattan Beach Marriott Hotel from “90210”

    The Manhattan Beach Marriott Hotel from “90210”

    Another location that the Grim Cheaper and I stopped by a couple of weeks ago while doing some stalking in the South Bay was the Manhattan Beach Marriott, which stood in for the supposed-Beverly-Hills-area hotel where the West Beverly High Senior Prom was held in the Season 3 episode of fave show 90210 titled “The…

  • Chili’s Grill & Bar from “The Office”

    Chili’s Grill & Bar from “The Office”

    Another location that the Grim Cheaper and I stalked two weekends ago while in the San Fernando Valley was the site of the former Black Angus Steakhouse in Panorama City which masqueraded as a supposed Scranton, Pennsylvania-area Chili’s Grill & Bar in two different Season 2 episodes of fave show The Office.  I first found…
