Even though my hometown of Roanoke VA has a population of approx. 100,000, I used to live in a section of town I used to call Mayberry. It was called Grandin Village in a section of town called Raleigh Court. Within walking distance (a couple of blocks) of my home there were two grocery stores, a hardware store, a drug store, a bank, three churches, two gas stations, a fire house, a furniture store, an appliance store, two barber shops, a beauty parlor, two taverns, one dentist, one doctor, a post office, two or three restaurants, an elementary school, a middle school, a high school and a movie theater. If I hadn't worked across town, I could have gone weeks without getting in my car. We had everything Mayberry had except, the court house, the hotel and Orville Monroe's funeral parlor.
