I wonder if they will lump us in the South?

Hope they don't mention that enlarged 1.5 milliondollar out-house they built at Snowshoe...

Did you know there is actually a Fife Street in Morgantown. I'd imagine that is where they got the name for the character. I didn't know Don Knots, but I knew his sister and she was a very sweet person.

How long has Fife Street been a part of Morgantown? I'm wondering if they named the street in honor of him.

My dad was in Don Knott's class at Morgantown High and he signed my Dad's yearbook. He always said he was from a nice family. Fife St. was there long before the character on TV. THere is a Don Knotts Blvd. that has been named after him in the last few years. Having grown up there, gone to WVU and worked at WVU, I can say there is always more to the story than what is printed or promoted. Now that I have lived away from there, I can say it is a wonderful diverse town with a lot to offer.

I thought Fife Street preceeded the character since it is not in a newer section of town. I certainly agree with you about Morgantown. It's a great place to live and getting better all the time. It has the advantages of a large city with few of the disadvantages. Maybe that's why it is consistently listed among the most desirable places to live in the country.
