“Money, Money, Money”

It looks like Eve Plumb, who played Jan on “The Brady Bunch”, has gone from saying “Marcia, Marcia, Marcia” to “money, money, money”!

Eve purchased a beachfront Malibu cottage for $55,000, back in 1969 — when she was just 11 years old. She even had to have her parents sign on the dotted line for her. She kept the place for 47 years — and now she’s sold the home — for $3.9 million dollars! (that’s about an 800% profit). She didn’t get the full asking price of $4.15 million.

The cottage is a pretty plain looking place, but apparently that won’t matter. The new owners plan to bulldoze the home in order to build a mega-mansion overlooking the Pacific ocean. The new residence has been designed by Meis Architects, designer of the Staples Center, among other venues. Renderings of the new place show a cantilevered design with walls of floor-to-ceiling glass, a retractable “moon roof” and two-story garage wrapped in perforated metal. The proposed home would also have three bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms with 3,500 square feet of living space. And if you look closely…is that a Alexander Calder “La Grande Vitesse” sculpture on the deck?!

I’ve always been the kind of person who notices the things other people overlook — strange roadside attractions, forgotten pieces of history, interesting places, odd trends, and the little things in everyday life that make you laugh and say, “Wait... when did that become normal?” This blog is where I share those discoveries. Some days you might learn something fascinating from history. Other days I’ll take you along on a road trip, share a weird story from Michigan’s past, or simply rant about something in modern life that makes absolutely no sense. No matter what, my goal is simple: keep things interesting!
