I was reading an article about the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, and saw this quote which I thought was worth passing on. The reporter was talking to a guy who lives there, and this is part of what he said:
*“I joke with my wife because I watch ‘The Andy Griffith Show"and I said, ‘Why can’t society just be like that?’” he said, alluding to the idyllic life in the imaginary town of Mayberry.* *In the Upper Peninsula, life is already a bit like in Mayberry for many of the nearly 300,000 residents.* *North of the five-mile long Mackinac Bridge that connects the two parts of Michigan, violent crime is rare — there were only five murders in the Upper Peninsula in 2019.* Now, my question - a couple weeks ago I asked about where the ball field was located in the episode "The Ball Game", and got a great answer from Dennis B. After recently watching "Opie's Piano Lesson" with Flip Conroy as the football coach, I wondered about where the football practice scenes were filmed. The views were more limited than in the baseball episode, but the bleachers looked like the ones in the ball field episode. Also, you can hear highway traffic in the background, so I thought maybe it was the same location - ??? _______________________________________________ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.wbmutbb.com/
