Unless I am mistaken, the street that runs in front of Andy's home, Maple Street is not paved. I noticed it again in the John Canfield episode. You're right and it's very noticeable. The "Hollywood" reason is likely, a show or movie that was set in the distant past was likely using the same set at the time, and a paved road would've been an anachronism. But the "Mayberry" reason would likely be Mayor Stoner using the city's long-range road paving budget to build that highway past his brother's gas station, and I'm guessing the likely embarrassment of the main artery through town suddenly becoming a dirt road, was enough of a campaign issue to get him beat in the 1966 election. Just my $.02. Dixon _______________________________________________ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
