Fun fact, my mother’s side of the family is Green. The old vast family estate that my great grandparents owned was called Green Acres which was at least 20 years before the show. When my last great uncle died in 1997 my mother and her siblings/cousins stupidly sold it at auction for $120k. At the time it was the house on 12 acres. Originally it was something like 160 on the lake. Some of the most valuable land in the county. Developer bought it and subdivided what was left. Original house eventually got torn down. Was a shame. I told my mother at the time she should buy out the other 4 family members. She regrets it now.
