Hmmmm, again. Wikipedia says she was born in The Bronx. So why the nod to Brooklyn?

A little tidbit: Her late FIL founded a local department store. http://www.renys.com/

Third question about John Tyler in less than a week! He may be a "Forgettable President," but the question writers sure remember him.

Hmmm...maybe the Hot Podium could be used as a massage table.
