Down Our Way 1930s ep08 Fixing Up Cliffs Room

Not much is known about this series. A search on the internet turned up virtually nothing, and it is not mentioned in any of the reference books, except for a short blurb in Jay Hickerson’s Ultimate Guide. However, it is a very entertaining show.

The storyline revolves around neighbors helping neighbors and using their faith in their daily lives. Believed to have been made in the early 1930s, the series is accented with the main characters practicing their choir hymnals. It was a much simpler time and given today’s atmosphere, it would be great to have that time return. You can go back, if only for 30 minutes at a time.

Write-up From OTRCAT.com
Down Our Way is an old-time radio show that focused on the simple life of small-town America. The show surrounds the life and times of Eli Jenkins, the town's grocer, as everyone turns to Eli when in trouble. Eli's gotten fat from his wife, Jenny's, good hometown cooking which includes stew, flapjacks, and other favorites.

Down Our Way features both the good and bad of neighborly, small-town living. Some down-home politics include resentment over who won the ribbon at the pie contests at the fair to brag about being the best in town at horseshoes.
A little magical part of Down Our Way features choir music intermixed in the plot as the local choir regularly meets at Eli's grocery store.
