Shot on location in Oakville, Ontario. Barney Boomer’s goal was to sail the Great lakes in his tiny houseboat, drop anchor in Sixteen Harbour and visit his Uncle Boomer in a local lighthouse, but the local councillor wouldn’t let him stay. The rest is history. The show was expanded, story-wise, and renamed, Upside Town.
