Down Our Way - Single Episodes
Old Time Radio Researchers Group
DOWN OUR WAY 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. Please contact the Old Time Radio Researchers Group if you have any information on this series. Thanks! From the Old Time Radio Researchers Group.

Reviews
Superb quality and production.
John Spagnolo
I have really been enjoying this show. Savoring each episode. I would like to know more about this short series but as described above, there is not much known. Notwithstanding the subject matter and banter of the shows, I am very surprised it's thought to be from the early 30's. The sound engineer earned his paycheck. Wonderful show.
A Gem

This is a wonderful show - one of my favorites - and combines lovely choral music with great, loveable characters that exemplify simple, old-fashioned small-town values that we have largely forgotten today. I highly recommend giving all 26 episodes a listen, and see if you don't feel inspired afterwards. Wish there were more episodes!
A wonderful series
