I read at http://www.telovation.com/articles/andy-griffith-show.html that Andy often "dismissed" any ties between Mt Airy and Mayberry. It is under the subject (The Mount Airy Connection ).
Like the story says " there are too many similarities to ignore the Mt Airy-Mayberry connection ". So with all these similarities, why did Andy dismiss them to begin with? It took 45 years before Andy acknowledged the connection. Was he just being humble or was their a bigger plan involved ? It is very neat to read about how the residents of Mt. Airy resorted to renaming their businesses to ( anything TAGS related) to help with the declining economy. Reminds me of the episode where the whole town of Mayberry goes "Hollywood" when the Hollywood film crew comes to town.
