    The story of Lucy is one of those that fascinate people. It was such a long and winding road that led her to legendary fame. Still to this day, when I watch "I Love Lucy", I laugh just as much as the first time I saw them. She was determined for the show to be great, and she definitely achieved that.

    Oh absolutely. The show never gets old even though my family and I know the dialog word for word. We even say the lines with them and crack up over and over again. We will always love Lucy.

    There will never be another Woman like Lucy - she touched the hearts of so many people- my son is 34 now and when he was a kid he would lay in bed at night watching Lucy and just laugh- it just Blessed our hearts - I’m 67 now and I watched I Love Lucy growing up - God Blessed her with talent so she could Bless other people- 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

    I grew up in a house that looked very much like Lucy's family home.... same dark wood moldings and archway staircase railings and bathtub... these are beautiful homes that were built in the early 20th century. Mine was built in 1910. Looking at this not only made me nostalgic for Lucy but also for my childhood home

    My grandfather was born in Celeron Ny , he was good childhood friends with Lucille Ball, There used to be a very large Ferris wheel out on the Lake it was an amusement park a very big one during this period of time my grandfather's name was Charles Allen Gardiner and he used to kind of deal Lucille when they were younger kids, As generations went on unfortunately my grandfather died when my father was just 16 years old, He add his tonsils removed and unfortunately bled to death, Grandmother remained on Smith Avenue located in Celeron Ny, And my grandmother was actually Pennsylvania Dutch from Brookville Pennsylvania I am not certain how my grandmother ended up meeting my grandfather I never did hear the story about this as my father went to Vietnam, And when he came back he started drinking very heavily and my mother and father got divorced when I was youngster, But of course I would go spend the weekend and Celron Ny, My grandmother worked at a place called Chautauqua hardware, I am not sure where she was working when she was married to my grandfather, I know that my grandfather his father was the magistrate judge in Celeron Ny, And I know that my grandfather was good friends with Lucille Ball until his death in his early thirties by this time Lucile had moved away and already became famous, From what my grandmother said she was jealous of Lucille because of the crush my grandfather had on her when they were young, I had the opportunity to by Lucille Ball's home when it went on the market I believe they were asking somewhere in the mid thirtys for the house, Apparently somebody bought it and turned it into a museum and sold it for quite a bit of money on eBay from what I heard if anyone has any pictures of Lucille and my grandfather please let me know

    I live in the Buffalo area, about 70 miles away from this house. I've stayed at the Chautauqua Harbor Hotel, which is on the grounds of the now-gone Celoron Amusement Park, just a couple of blocks from the house. The hotel features a lot of Lucy in it, in pictures, etc., and even has a drink named after her.

    I am here in this area of New York State for work right now, from Southern California, and before I drove by this house in the last hour, I went to the Lucille Ball/Desi Arnaz museum, downtown nearby Jamestown. I think I saw a lot of items on display with the Rapaport name affixed to the description, as to where the item came from. Coincidence.... I think not. :)
