I don't recall ever seeing anything about this before, but while watching The Green Hornet (old TV show), they drove through downtown Mayberry! I was watching them drive through this downtown when it struck me that something was familiar about it so I backed it up several times to study it.
The camera angle is one we never got in TAGS. Remember how the theater sort of juts out into the street? If you stood at that point and looked back toward the court house, you'd see 1) the side of the theater marquee, 2) the porch of the hotel, 3) a side view of the front of the court house. So the court house columns really looked like 1 column. You could also see the stores across the street from the court house where Walker's drug store and the bank were normally found. The Hornet came from where we know the Feed and Seed to be, turned onto Main St at the Court House and zoomed up past the theater and makes the slight turn into the street that begins at that point. When they make that turn, you can see the Palmerton Café as the 1st store on the street. I do recall seeing the Palmerton in TAGS streets shots (maybe in one of those waiting for the bus shots), now I know where those shots were made. I know Batman, Superman and Captain Kirk used the streets of Mayberry; now we can add The Green Hornet to the list. dan _______________________________________________ WBMUTBB mailing list [email protected] http://wbmutbb.com/mailman/listinfo/wbmutbb_wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
