In the first season of the show, Mededith is living in her mom's old house, her mom is in a "home", and she has just started her internship in Seattle. The house is the same house as she grew up in. But her mom and her moved to Boston when she was five. So, my question is was the house just empty for twenty-something years? That seems sort of unlikely. But her mom's old journals are still in the house. and so are the "height" marks of Meredith in the kitchen. Maybe the writers hadn't quite thought this out before they wrote the pilot. Or did somewhere in the show they present and explanation.
