Did You Know?

Brown's Station, New York, the birthplace of Charlie, Mary, and Rose, was a burgeoning, vibrant town when the Elias moved there from Hoboken - but now, nearly all of the buildings that stood in their time were moved or destroyed to make way for a giant reservoir in Ulster County that still serves New York City. Very likely the spot where the Elia house once stood is now under gallons of drinking water!
