ColdCanadian and friendnc, I just have to add my provincial trivia from Hollywoodland. "The Andy Griffith Show" was shot on location on Orion Street, Van Nuys, Calif. immediately south of Victory Blvd., with the Franklyn Canyon Reservoir (Beverly Hills) doubling for the path to the fishin' hole. Of course, Van Nuys was at tad more family-friendly fifty years ago. . .
