    ‘ My Los Angeles magazine editor is on vacation this week, so I will not have a post on LAmag.com today.  To make up for it, though, I’ve got a Haunted Hollywood locale for you right here!  One of my favorite parts about the Halloween season is watching scary movies.  (And of course stalking their…

  • Daddy Day Care

    Daddy Day Care

    ‘ While out and about with my dad this week, I decided to stalk the home used in the Eddie Murphy movie Daddy Day Care. Since my dad just retired, he has been recruited to be my new stalking side kick! I think he loves it about just as much as my boyfriend does. 🙂…

  • The Pasadena Main Branch of Bank of the West from “Falcon Crest”

    The Pasadena Main Branch of Bank of the West from “Falcon Crest”

    ‘ For years now, I have been trying to track down the bank where Terry Dolittle (Whoopi Goldberg) worked in the 1986 comedy Jumpin’ Jack Flash.  It is one of those locations that always sits fixed at the back of my mind, images of it constantly floating around in my head.  So when I came…

  • Ambassador College from “That Thing You Do!”

    Ambassador College from “That Thing You Do!”

    ‘ All historic structures in the Los Angeles area with the word “ambassador” in their name seem to be doomed.  The famed Ambassador Hotel, which once stood at 3400 Wilshire Boulevard in Koreatown, was razed in 2005.  And the former Ambassador College, at 131 South St. John Avenue in Pasadena, was largely demolished beginning in…

  • The Baldwin Home from “For All Mankind”

    The Baldwin Home from “For All Mankind”

    ‘ Apple TV+ is seriously setting the bar high when it comes to original content!  Every program I’ve come across on the streaming platform has been excellent.  I first got hooked on The Morning Show, then Truth Be Told and, most recently, For All Mankind, a 1960s/1970s-set series that focuses on an alternate reality in…

  • Afeni Shakur’s House from “Unsolved: The Murders of Tupac & the Notorious B.I.G.”

    Afeni Shakur’s House from “Unsolved: The Murders of Tupac & the Notorious B.I.G.”

    ‘ I am unnaturally obsessed with pretty much all things southern – southern accents (what I wouldn’t give for a slow, lilting twang!), homemade fried chicken, and large plantation-style houses, among many others.  So I, of course, immediately fixated on the huge columned estate where Afeni Shakur (Sola Bamis) lived on Unsolved: The Murders of…

  • The Bedtime Stories House

    The Bedtime Stories House

    ‘ Got a challenge last week from fellow stalker Owen who wanted me to find Courteney Cox‘”‘”‘s house from the 2008 movie Bedtime Stories.   And even though I had yet to see the movie, I was actually in luck with this challenge as one of my acting classmates had worked as a production assistant on the Adam Sandler flick.  …
