What State Do The Cleaver's Live In?

[eyefocus]

It's been disclosed that the Cleaver's live in Shaker Heights, USA.
Some earlier post have eluded that this is a city or suburb in the
state of Ohio.

In the episode, "Nobody Love's Me", we find that Richard is sitting
on a bus bench waiting and Beaver appears. Beaver asks Richard
what he was doing and Richard says, he is waiting for a car to pass
by with a New Jersey license plate on it. Apparently, Richard doesn't
want to go home too early and Beaver figures out this is Richard's little game.
Suddenly, Beaver sees a car with a Pennsylvania plate on it and ask
Richard if that's close enough. Richard declines but moments later
a car with a New Jersey plates passes by and Richard leaves to go
home.

Point in case, since hearing evidence of cars with Pennsylvania and
New Jersey plates are driving around this area, doesn't this set a
pretense that the Cleaver's don't live in Ohio?

You comments are welcome to help solve what state do
the Cleaver's live in.

The only thing that's certain is that they live in the town of Mayfield. There is a Mayfield in several states, including Ohio. Every now and then, they'll give a clue that it's Ohio, such as a reference to Ward growing up in Shaker Heights or someone living on the other side of Euclid Avenue, both of which are in the vicinity of Cleveland. But they also give hints that would tend to rule out Ohio. As someone once posted here, the truth is probably that Mayfield is everywhere and nowhere. It's the same sort of mystery as Ward's profession.

I personally think it's kinda cool how they leave all that stuff up to the viewers imagination. In a way, it makes the show relate more to the viewers since Mayfield could be just about anywhere they wanted it to be.

I'm a little baffled, do the Cleaver's live in Shaker Heights or Mayfield.
I know that Wally attends Mayfield High but I was under the impression
that they live in Shaker Heights, a suburb or Cleaveland. Then again,
maybe not.

Besides the information about Richard and Beaver sighting car license
plates from New Jersey and Pennsylvania, I remember June mentioning
they the boys have gone to the BEACH before????? What beach?
Does that mean they are near a big body of water. I know when
I live in Chicago, they refer to the beach meaning Lake Michigan.

The cleavers do not live in Shaker Heights...They live in Mayfield. Ward grew up in Shaker Heights. In the episode "Most Interesting Character" Beaver says Ward grew up "right here in this town" in his composition. The best I can make of it is that Shaker Heights is like a small farm community outside of Mayfield or something like that.

We do know that Ward grew up on a farm, but Shaker Heights, Ohio is an affluent suburb of Cleveland. I know because I went to college in Cleveland Heights.

I posted earlier about Richard and Beaver sighting car licenses from
New Jersey and Pennsylvania and I was trying to established what
state the Cleaver's live in.

I also stated there is mention of the boys going to the beach. Where
is the beach near where the Cleaver's live?

In the episode "Eddie Quits School", Eddies gets a job at Tompson
gas station. Eddies buys Mr. Tompson's convertible and can't find anyone to
take for a ride. He even ask Beaver if he want to go to the "BEACH".

Also in the episode, the principal (Mr. Farmer) of Mayfield High stops by
to sugguest to Eddie to come back to school, while he
is getting gas. Eddies doesn't realize that the gas is
over flowing the tank and when he goes back to attend
to the over flowing gas we see a "blank license plate" covering the gas cap.
It reads OSK 623 with no state or year on the plate. One
more time, eluding to the fact that Mayfield is everywhere and nowhere
in the USA.

So where is the "beach" and what's up the blank license plate.
