There is a Mayberry! It is not in NC though, it is in Virginia. If you go to Mayberry Days you can visit Mayberry by going up Tr. 52 to the Blue Ridge Parkway and go north for about 25 miles. There is a Mayberry Country Store and just up the road from it, a few hundred feet, is the Mayberry Presbyterian Church. Last time we were there they were making apple butter at the store. The old store was built back in the 1800s so predates Mayberry USA by quite a bit. And as far as being closer to Nags Head, it is actually farther away! However, since Mayberry is a fictional town and all the characters are fictional, the distances they mention is also fictional. Siler City is probably at least 2 hours away but the show makes it about an hour. Mt. Pilot is just a few minutes down the road from Mt. Airy but they make it to be a little farther, I think. Whatever they did was for the show, not in reality, since thank goodness this was not a reality show! I guess they could have made all the towns and cities no more than 50 miles away and it still would'a been a fantastical show! I am glad the Griffiths decided to have a child, I am glad this child turned out to be a son, and I am glad the son had a sense of humor. I am doubly glad he came up with the Football Story, since that is what got it all started! BTW...For all the computer whizzes out there, I got my new computer and I need to transfer my old hard drive contents to the new hard drive. Anyone have any experience with the different software products to transfer files? Let me know under private Email and I will try to get things taken care of and get my new one up and running. Thanks Welford theCameraNutttt!!
