  • The Beethoven House

    The Beethoven House

    ‘ Got a challenge from Debbie a few weeks back to find the house used in the 1992 movie Beethoven and its many subsequent sequels.  Debbie had just read my post on the Camden house from the television series 7th Heaven  and was struck by how similar it looked to the home used in the…

    A Peek Inside the Pink House from “13 Going On 30”

    ‘ As I mentioned in Monday’”‘”‘s post, this past weekend, Mike, from MovieShotsLA, and I actually got to GO INSIDE the pink house featured at the end of fave romantic comedy 13 Going On 30.  Those of you who read my blog regularly know that I absolutely LOVE 13 Going On 30 and that Jenna’”‘”‘s pink Craftsman style home is one of…

  • Mia’s House from “Little Fires Everywhere”

    Mia’s House from “Little Fires Everywhere”

    ‘ Reese Witherspoon certainly is the darling of streaming TV!  First Big Little Lies (that’s HBO, but still), then The Morning Show, then Truth Be Told (which she executive-produced) and now Little Fires Everywhere.  The latter, which is currently airing on Hulu, is an adaptation of Celest Ng’s 2017 book of the same name.  Centering…

  • The “Mama’s Family” Houses

    The “Mama’s Family” Houses

    ‘ I have dreamed of writing this post for so long!  One of the locations I get asked about the most (I literally get emails and comments about it all the time!) is the house that portrayed Thelma Harper’s (Vicki Lawrence) residence during the first two seasons of Mama’s Family.  For those who aren’t familiar…

  • Shakers Family Restaurant from “Old School”

    Shakers Family Restaurant from “Old School”

    ‘ Today’s locale is another one of those facepalm spots.  For ages, I had been trying to track down the interior of the diner where Mitch (Owen Wilson) and the boys discussed saving their fraternity in the 2003 comedy Old School.  While I had long known that Montrose Bakery & Café (which, sadly, Yelp is…

  • The Cooper House from “Forever Young”

    The Cooper House from “Forever Young”

    ‘ Today’s locale is a bit of a long time coming.  In my early March post about the bungalow where Daniel McCormick (Mel Gibson) lived in Forever Young, I mentioned that I had stalked a different house from the 1992 movie – the one where Claire Cooper (Jamie Lee Curtis) and her son, Nat (Elijah…

  • The Family House

    The Family House

    ‘ My good friend and fellow stalker Kerry is a huge fan of the 1976 television show and I just found out that while she has stalked the home used in the series several times, she doesn’”‘”‘t have any photographs of it. So I just had to go out and stalk the house for her…

    Kaldi Coffee and Tea from “Lady Bird”

    ‘ The Grim Cheaper and I are almost all settled in to our new desert home, so I should be getting back to my regularly scheduled blog programing in the near future.  Thanks for bearing with me over the past few weeks.  For my first post-move locale, I thought I’d write about a spot I…

  • Hope and Michael’s House from “thirtysomething”

    Hope and Michael’s House from “thirtysomething”

    ‘ I think Marshall Herskovitz and Edward Zwick are two of the greatest television producers ever to walk the face of the earth.  Oddly though, while I am obsessed with both My So-Called Life and Relativity (as evidenced here and here), I was never a fan of thirtysomething, one of their earliest forays into the…
