After 'The Brady Bunch' house sold to a megafan for $3.2 million, she created a sweepstakes to let fans win tours inside— take a look.
Tina Trahan bought the "The Brady Bunch" house, which appears in the opening credits, from HGTV. The 1959 house in LA's Studio City was renovated in 2019 so its interiors now match the show's sets. In 2025, Trahan put on a sweepstakes to allow fans to tour the property. Who doesn't want to live in a classic American sitcom? The house featured in "The Brady Bunch" hit the market in May 2023 for a cool $5.5 million — and it sold in September of the same year for $3.2 million. HGTV, which purchased the home for $3.5 million in 2018, had to settle for a figure that was $2.3 million less than its initial listing and about 9% less than what it originally paid for the home, The Wall Street Journal reported. Built in 1959, the two-story home in the Studio City neighborhood of Los Angeles measures 5,140 square feet and is the embodiment of midcentury modern style. It was rebuilt to replicate the set of the TV show, the listing said. The buyer, Tina Trahan, told the Journal she was a fan of the show but didn't plan to live in the house — she said she wanted to use it for fundraising and charity events. Then, in partnership with the nonprofit No Kid Hungry, Trahan launched The Brady Experience, a sweepstakes in which participants can donate money for the chance to tour the house and eat brunch with a members of the original show's cast. Dallas, Georgia, resident Sue Myers grew up watching the Brady Bunch, and even passed that tradition on to her son. "I was the huge 'Brady' fan — I'm obviously a kid of the seventies and grew up during that time, and the Brady Bunch was on after school every day," Myers told Business Insider. "What's fun is that when becoming a parent, I've got a 24-year-old son, and so I raised him on it as well." Myers heard about the sweepstakes from a friend who knew she was a big fan, and she ended up winning an all-expenses-paid trip to Los Angeles to check out the home with her son. She went on a tour led by cast members Christopher Knight and Barry Williams, and had a brunch at the home. The renovation, which was highlighted on the TV series "A Very Brady Renovation," was flawless according to Myers. "It was so exact," she said. "It was one of those things where it was a weird feeling because when we came in, it was amazing to be there and then to see something that was so familiar to you, but in a place you've never been." Trahan told the Journal in 2023 that the house was "the worst investment ever," but has since clarified those comments, telling People that she views the home as a piece of art. "When I was buying it, I wasn't thinking, 'Oh, it was a great investment,'" Trahan told People in 2023. "When I buy art, it's because I love the art. It's not because, 'Oh, I'm going to make money on this.' If you're going to make money in art, you have to sell it. I buy art, and then I don't sell it." The first Brady Experience sweepstakes was such a success that Trahan is opening it up for another round. Trahan could not be reached for comment. Here's a look around the iconic property. The exterior of "The Brady Bunch" home was featured in the show's credits. The property was originally listed for $5.5 million. It sold for $3.2 million. Sometimes the Bradys are home. "Christopher Knight and Barry Williams, who play Greg and Peter on the show, answered the door, so that was fun," Myers said. "It was actually like walking up to the Brady House and knocking on the door, and the Bradys are there." The interior was renovated by HGTV. The network acquired the property in 2018 for $3.5 million. If you've seen the show, which aired from 1969 to 1974, then you'll recognize the staircase. The house's interior has undergone meticulous renovations to replicate the set of "The Brady Bunch" as part of HGTV's "A Very Brady Renovation," a 2019 miniseries featuring six of the surviving actors from the original sitcom. Myers was able to recreate the iconic shot on the stairs with a few cast members. Eve Plumb, who played Jan on the show, also stopped by for a surprise visit. Another feature that might evoke memories is the bright orange Formica kitchen counters. While the equipment looks similar to that of the show, none of it is operational. Myers said an actor playing Alice served them a brunch that included the famous pork chops and applesauce from the show. "Tina thought of every detail: the pork chops, the applesauce, having Alice there to serve up for everybody, and every little knickknack. Every episode was probably represented somewhere in that house." This living room was where we would see most of the cast congregate. "It is as authentic as it can be," Myers said. "I can't imagine anything else that could be replicated so perfectly because you're in a home." The property offers the high ceilings, big windows, and sliding glass doors of the show's set. "It was amazing that they could do that from a TV set to make it to be the actual home," Myers said. "You would not think you were anywhere else but in the original Brady house." All of the bedrooms are staged just as they were on the show. "I knew it was around every corner, and no, it did not disappoint," Myers said. "It was like an exact replica." Greg Brady was the eldest of the bunch, known as a ladies man. He secured his own room in the attic by season four. The actual home doesn't have an attic, so another room had to be converted into Greg's space. "They didn't have the floor plan to do that in the house, so they just made that kind of off to the side," Myers said. Even the backyard is a replica of the show. "It was just like every time I walked into a room, it was like, 'Oh, I've been here before," Myers said. "It was such a strange feeling." Tina Trahan, the house's owner, doesn't live inside but instead uses it for charitable events. After a successful run of the first Brady Experience sweepstakes, Trahan is getting ready for another round. Read the original article on Business Insider

No longer second fiddle, Little wins state title
Hackberry High School cowboy Ike Little is driven to succeed. Over the past few years, the multi-sport athlete has sought a coveted state championship. After coming close, the sophomore won his first state championship on Tuesday at the Louisiana High School Finals Rodeo. Little unseated defending state champ Trevor Trahan to win the boys cutting state championship. 'I've been pole vaulting for the last three years and got fourth runner-up the last two couple years, so just to finally win the state in something that I love the most is the best,' Little said. In reined cow horse, Little, riding the same horse, Boone, his older sister Charli Little used to win the title in 2017, almost won a second title. But defending state champ Charli Wilkinson beat him 90.4 to 85. In his career, Little narrowly missed the medal stand twice (2023, '25) with two fourth-place finishes in pole vault at the Class C track and field state championships, and lost the cutting title by 2.55 points to Trahan at Burton Coliseum last year. Little said his new horse, Itchy Oak, gave him a big boost this year. 'Mainly just got a new horse,' Little said. 'I was able to ride him a lot easier because he was at the house, and instead of having to be somewhere else, was able to cut on our own cows and not have to cut on somebody else's all the time.' Little entered the Week 10 points standings ahead of Trahan and outpointed him in two of three rounds. He capped off his state title with a win in the short-go round Tuesday with a score with his top score of the state rodeo, 73, after a low of 68 in the second-go round on Monday. 'A couple of (the rounds), they were a little bit choppy,' Little said. 'I didn't really like how they turned out, but the last one was the one I really liked. 'I didn't have to ride him as hard as I did the last of them. He was getting a little bit short on me on one side, so I just had to ride him a little bit hard on that side and easier on the other one, that would be fine.' Lacassine senior cowgirl Lydia Touchet came close to winning her third consecutive girls cutting state championship, but Welsh High School freshman Campbell Leblanc ended her run. Leblanc won by a narrow 6.8-point margin, 118.9-112.1. Touchet won the second-go and was second in the short-go on Tuesday. Touchet finished fourth in reined cow horse. All other events start today with the first go-round split between two performances at 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. The second-go round will follow the same schedule on Friday. The top 15 in each event advance to the short-go round at 5 p.m. Saturday.

Mass. Rep. Trahan's ‘Les Miz' moment on Trump's ‘Big Beautiful Bill'
Good Monday morning, everyone. In the early hours of last Thursday morning, as U.S. House Republicans got ready to send President Donald Trump's 'Big Beautiful Bill' over to the Senate, a Massachusetts lawmaker stepped into the breach, all Henry V-style, to try to stop it. That lawmaker, U.S. Rep. Lori Trahan, D-3rd District, offered what's known as a 'Motion to Recommit,' a parliamentary Hail Mary that would have sent the bill back to committee rather than allowing the eventual 215-214 vote to approve it. This was Trahan, who helms the House Dems' messaging effort, getting her 'Les Miz' moment to defend the barricades against legislation that she and her fellow Democrats believe will gut the social safety net and cause the national debt to skyrocket. In addition to its other provisions, the GOP-authored bill is a 'targeted attack on Planned Parenthood, one of the most trusted providers of reproductive health care in our country,' Trahan said during a brief floor speech. 'No one should lose access to basic care just because of where they go to get it.' Trahan later offered her procedural motion, which failed, with every Republican voting against it, her office said in a statement. Trump and House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., may have won a battle on Thursday, but they still have to win the war by getting the bill through the U.S. Senate and onto the Resolute Desk. Lawmakers on the other side of Capitol Hill were already talking about significant rewrites to the bill within hours of the House vote, according to Politico. The messages, however, were contradictory. Budget hawks were looking for bigger savings, while others were looking to blunt the House's attack on Medicaid and preserve green energy incentives, Politico reported. And as of last week, it looked like U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., was spoiling for that fight. 'Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos are popping champagne because House Republicans JUST passed Trump's 'big, beautiful bill,' the Cambridge lawmaker posted to X. 'This bill is a BIG tax handout for billionaires, paid for by ripping health insurance from 14 MILLION people. We must stop this from passing the Senate,' she continued. Warren's colleague, U.S. Sen. Ed Markey, D-Mass., meanwhile, was doing a bit of Capitol Hill math. 'The question now: How many Senate Republicans will vote to cut Medicaid, SNAP and Pell? How many millions of people will they take health care, food and education from — all to pay for tax breaks for the ultra wealthy?" he posted to X. The answer, according to Politico, is three. That's how many GOP votes Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-Texas, can afford to lose and still pass the bill on a party-line vote. Thune wants to get the bill through the Senate by July 4, saying the Independence Day deadline is the 'goal and the aspiration,' but will depend on 'what does it take to get to 51?' That's a reference to the number of votes it takes in the Senate to win a simple majority. It also gives the bill's opponents a deadline to work on any GOP lawmakers who might be wobbly on the bill and extra time to cue up their copy of 'Do You Hear the People Sing?' Boston Mayor Michelle Wu had some headline-grabbing company last week with her during the latest installment of her ongoing 'Commute wth Me' series. That'd be 'Love on the Spectrum' star Pari Kim and her girlfriend Tina Zhu Xi Caruso. And because no mayoral outing would be complete without her, Baby Mira Wu (who we're increasingly convinced is really running the city) also was along for the ride. Wu, Mira, and her celeb guests, took the Green Line's E Line from Park Street to MassArt, chatting along the way about what they love about the city (Taking the T, natch) and what they don't (People who don't give up their seats for riders living with disabiliies. Boo.). And with the 35th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act coming up in July, the trio also discussed the importance of making sure the T is accessible to disabled riders. There was the inevitable, horrendous Green Line screeching of brakes (Boston's 'National Anthem,' they quipped). And there was the usual cuteness overload from Baby Mira. You can watch the whole video here. It's Memorial Day Monday here in Massachusetts and nationwide. And it's a day of solemn remembrance for those who have fallen in service to the country. Last week, however, Gov. Maura Healey, joined by executive branch officials, state lawmakers and Massachusetts veterans, held the state's first Military Appreciation Day with ceremonies at the State House in Boston. The observance, hosted by the state's Executive Office of Veterans Services, with the cooperation of the state Legislature, was intended to '[recognize] the contributions of veterans, active-duty service members and military families from across Massachusetts,' the administration said in a statement. Participating legislators were invited to nominate a member of their local military community — whether a veteran, active-duty service member, National Guard, Reservist or military family member or advocate — to be honored during the ceremony. More than 125 people were recognized and presented with an official citation and a challenge coin for their service, the administration said. 'We created Military Appreciation Day at the State House to honor these heroes — veterans, active-duty service members, and military families — whose courage, strength and commitment to service continue to shape our state and our nation for the better,' Healey said in a statement. Gen. Joseph F. Dunford, Jr. (Ret.), a Massachusetts native, a former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and 36th Commandant of the U.S. Marine Corps, offered the keynote address at the ceremony. 'It's an honor to return home to Massachusetts and stand alongside a community so deeply committed to those who serve. Military Appreciation Day reflects something I've long believed: that service is not just what we do in uniform — it's a lifetime of leadership, character and sacrifice,' Dunford said in the administration's statement. Pennsylvania U.S. Sens. John Fetterman, the Democrat, and David McCormick, the Republican, headline a June 2 event at the Edward M. Kennedy Institute for the United States Senate next to the UMass Boston campus to prove that people from opposing parties can talk to each other without screaming. Kidding ... kind of. The sixth installment of the 'Senate Series' sponsored by the Kennedy Institute and the Orrin G. Hatch Foundation is intended to foster 'civil dialogue about current political issues, with the goal of identifying solutions and bridging partisan divides," the organizations said in a statement. The 9 a.m. event will be live-streamed on FOX Nation and moderated by Fox News Sunday anchor Shannon Bream. 'Vigorous and open dialogue is an essential part of our democracy and having these two senators from opposite sides of the aisle discuss important issues of the day is a valuable contribution to the public discourse,' Kennedy Institute Chairman Bruce A. Percelay said. The partnership between the two organizations 'is a model for achieving civility and solutions. We are thrilled that Senators McCormick and Fetterman have agreed to participate,' Matt Sandgren, Hatch Foundation executive director, added. Previous iterations of the series have featured conversations between U.S. Sens. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., and Bernie Sanders, I-Vt.; Jeanne Shaheen, D-N.H., and Joni Ernst, R-Iowa; and Chris Coons, D-Del., who faced now U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, a Florida Republican. Bostonians are fiercely proud of their parks. But as far as the rest of the country is concerned, the city is a distant also-ran behind Washington, D.C., Irvine, California, Minneapolis, Minnesota, Cincinnati, Ohio, and St. Paul, Minnesota. That's according to the annual ParkScore rankings list put together by the Trust for Public Land, a pro-parks advocacy group. The cities above are the Top 5 finishers. Boston's park system finished 12th on the list, which relied on a number of metrics, including how far residents live from a park, the percentage of city land dedicated to parks and per capita spending on parks. In the nation's capital, where you can't walk five feet without tripping over a memorial, 99% of the population lives near a park, and 21.5% of city land is dedicated to park space, according to the ParkScore list. It topped the rankings list. In Boston, 20% of the city's land is set aside for park space, according to the rankings list. But the city spends $183 per capita on parks. A bit of perspective, first-place Washington, D.C., spends $393 per capita on parks. Boston also got high marks for equity for the proximity of parkland to neighborhoods of color. But it got dinged for having fewer green spaces than white and high-income neighborhoods, the analysis showed. 'My intent was to educate the United States populist people about what was going on. It was not to harm the United States or the country because I love my nation. I'm a patriot. I did believe that I needed to educate the people about what was going on because I believe they were being lied to.' — Former Massachusetts Air National Guardsman Jack Teixeira, who's serving a 15-year federal prison sentence for leaking military secrets, in a jailhouse interview last week with 'Good Morning America.' You can't smile without him: Schmaltz Pop legend Barry Manilow plays his final Boston show on Wednesday, May 28, 2025, at TD Garden (tickets and more info here). After more than half a century in the business, Manilow, 81, announced earlier this year that he was calling time on his career as a touring act. Not to worry, though, you can still see him in Las Vegas, where he has a 'lifetime' residency at the Westgate Las Vegas Resort & Casino. With a career so deep and varied, it was tough to pick one standout Manilow track for this week's newsletter. So we're just gonna go all townie: Here's 'Weekend in New England‚' from the 1976 LP 'This One's for You.' Speaking of Memorial Day, here's a history (via PBS) of the holiday first known as 'Decoration Day,' that traces its roots to the post-Civil War era. Here's the germane bit: 'During that first national commemoration, former Union Gen. and sitting Ohio Congressman James Garfield made a speech at Arlington National Cemetery, after which 5,000 participants helped to decorate the graves of the more than 20,000 Union and Confederate soldiers who were buried there.' 'This national event galvanized efforts to honor and remember fallen soldiers that began with local observances at burial grounds in several towns throughout the United States following the end of the Civil War, such as the May 1, 1865, gathering in Charleston, South Carolina, organized by freed slaves to pay tribute and give proper burial to Union troops.' 'In 1873, New York was the first state to designate Memorial Day as a legal holiday. By the late 1800s, many more cities and communities observed Memorial Day, and several states had declared it a legal holiday.' 'After World War I, it became an occasion for honoring those who died in all of America's wars and was then more widely established as a national holiday throughout the United States.' 'In 1971, Congress passed the Uniform Monday Holiday Act and established that Memorial Day was to be commemorated on the last Monday of May.' That's it for today.

Stellar and supportive, senior trio has spurred Reading girls' lacrosse to unparalleled success
Together, they've helped the Rockets reach new heights and find sustained success the past four years. Reading made the Division 2 Round of 16 in 2022, state semifinals in 2023, and quarterfinals in 2024. Advertisement This spring, with the Vermont-bound Quinn, Shanahan (Marist), and Trahan (Assumption) as standout seniors, the 10th-ranked Rockets (11-2) are eyeing the program's first state title. Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up 'We know we're coming to the end, but we're really focused on the goals we have set,' Trahan said. After a promising freshman season, the trio took on an even more prominent role as sophomores. Coach Rachel Monroe watched her husband, Ray , steer the Billerica/Chelmsford girls' hockey program to the state semifinals that winter and began to visualize her team doing the same. She challenged the Rockets to reach their potential, and they met that challenge with a fearless and unflappable mentality. 'I think that was always sort of in the back of their head,' Monroe said. 'I always knew they certainly had the potential to get there.' Advertisement The 2023 run was a turning point for the program, and the current seniors. They gave eventual Division 1 state champion Lincoln-Sudbury a battle in their first Final Four to finish 22-2, which carried over to last spring in a 21-2 campaign that yielded a deep Division 2 run. This year's team may be the most potent yet and have the highest ceiling. Trahan, Shanahan, and Quinn were still the only players in their class on varsity as sophomores and juniors. Now, they have a six-person senior class, plus plenty of underclassmen providing steady contributions. It all starts with the three standouts. Quinn, a gritty and versatile midfielder, has 184 career goals, 74 assists, and 52 caused turnovers. Shanahan, a midfielder who Monroe said understands the game better than anyone, has 165 goals, 72 assists, and 53 caused turnovers. Trahan, a mentally sharp attack, has 122 goals, 50 assists, and 34 caused turnovers. They've spent an 'insane amount of time' together, often drawing up plays after practice and brainstorming strategies. Quinn said they know each other so well that when someone provides constructive criticism, the other two don't take it personally. When one turns the ball over or picks up a yellow card, Monroe said, the other two quickly compensate. 'There are certain plays that we don't even need to communicate,' Quinn said. 'We've been playing together for so long that it feels like second nature. You know what they're going to do next before they even do it.' Monroe said their connection feels almost like it would between twins or siblings. They have organic chemistry that pays dividends in pivotal moments. There's no jealousy or bitterness; just genuine love and support. Advertisement While it's certainly emotional to see their nine-year run enter its final chapter, they're proud of how far they've come and the legacy they've left. Monroe said the Rockets are trying to cherish every day and not take any of the journey for granted. Trios like this one don't come around too often. 'They don't want it to end; we don't want it to end,' Monroe said. 'You just try to embrace every moment together. We know that this team can't be recreated.' Quick sticks ▪ The up-and-comers at Boston Latin Academy are making steady strides thanks to first-year coach Arianna Woodley . 'Coaching the team for the first time has been nothing short of inspiring,' Woodley said. 'Each day I see this team grow — not just in skill, but in confidence, leadership, and heart.' The program, introduced as a club in 2022, is in the middle of its third varsity season. Woodley says her program is more than just wins and losses: 'It's about building a culture of hard work, respect, and resilience.' The players are growing every day in practice, and their willingness to learn and push themselves is a glimpse into the potential this team has. 'I'm proud of how far we've come, and even more excited for where we're going,' said Woodley, her club sitting at 2-6 on the season. ▪ With a five-goal, two-assist day in a dominant 21-4 victory over Haverhill, Methuen senior captain Kiera Fitzpatrick broke the school's career scoring record (215 goals). Her performance, plus an 18-5 win over Lowell on Friday, extended the win streak for the Rangers (10-3, 6-1 MVC) to four.
