Those were the days: Cayucos in the ’60s

click to enlarge People sometimes ask me what Cayucos was like in the ’60s, because I’ve lived a block from downtown all my life. Cayucos sure was a lot different back then. All traffic going north and south went right through the middle of town, and you normally did not see a car on the move after 8 p.m. on weekdays. It was a lot like ‘Mayberry.’ Our Andy Griffith was a mountain of a man named Roy Genardini, who was the town constable. If you were a bad boy, you had to deal with Big Roy. There are still many folks around town who remember the ’50s, what you could call the Mayberry days.
