Yes. Seems like a nice little town. Esp. if my kids were still young. Seems like a nice place to grow up!

Well where I live, Mayfield Hts is about 20 min. away from me, and Shaker Heights is practically around the corner from where I live...

Definitely! Especially when I look at way the world is today. Mayfield was a safe, friendly town that had a good educational system, stores, parks, a movie theater, etc. Life was simple, and the family unit appeared to be much tighter.

LOL!!

I think I might complain about the grade school having the windows in the front of the class though! What was up with that???????

The sun would get in the kid's eyes and they would be distracted by looking out the window! And the chalk board on the side wall, that would be uncomfortable and give them a sore neck turning to see the lessons all day !!!!

Other than that the school seemed to be run very well!

How funny! I'm a teacher and I never really paid much attention to the classroom set up. They probably did it that way so the focus would be on Miss Landers (or whoever the teacher was at that time), instead of what was written on the board.

We have a whole thread on that subject here and nobody could figure out the windows in front of the classroom!

Attention on the teacher and not the chalkboard would make sense !

Nah! Nice friendly small town, but too small for me.

Ohio8 · 07-18-2015, 11:23 PM

I would.

Actually, I lived in Mayfield Heights, Ohio for the first 13 1/2 years of my life.

For growing up, yes. My main interests were always a steady supply of new comic books and cute girls to pine over at school, like Violet Rutherford. So Mayfield was OK on both counts.

For a twenty-something and up though, what would I do for employment? Work at the dairy? I'd probably need to find a bigger city. "Movin' out!"

You could work where Ward and Fred Rutherford worked if it didn't go out of business!

Where did they work? I know it was an office, but was the name of the company or what they did there ever revealed?

I think this is one of those things that people have tried to figure out many times.

I think that Ward worked in some kind of sales capacity. This could be marketing, analyst, supply, etc...

I don't think Ward was an engineer, or accountant.

Fred called the office the " salt mines"!

I am thinking Ward worked in a business related to Land surveying. Recall from one episode, Ward told Beaver about his work in the SeaBees while serving in the western Pacific during WWII. He probably works in an Architecture firm...also in some episodes he worked on plans and deals to gain business.

I assumed that his job was related to him being in the SeaBees, too. I was thinking it had something to do with real estate/architecture.
