That's how WCAU was able to produce "Action in the Afternoon" … a western, set in a frontier montana town ... from its back lot, circa 1953s, only occasionally interrupted by the sounds of traffic. http://www.broadcastpioneers.com/action1.html As a kid growing up, the "far Northeast" was "unsettled territory." My Aunt and Uncle built a house in 1949 on the street behind the Methodist Church in Bustleton… surrounded on three sides by a cornfield! The "Northeast" pretty much ended at Oxford Circle in those days. William H.
