Hi Mayberry fans ! I sometimes post here from time to time. Im an avid TAGS viewer and read the forum here often. You will see at the end of every post I sign my name and city with the " less than one hour away from Mayberry " tagged at the end. I live in Lexington and we have a circulation newspaper here called the Dispatch. Today that printed an article that got my feathers riled. http://www.the-dispatch.com/article/20110124/COLUMNISTS/101244008/1051/COLUMNISTS?p=1&tc=pg I overviewed the article and didnt see any reference to Mayberry, but its understood in the title someone is trying to draw contrast between the two places or draw attention to the article using my beloved Mayberry. I have lived in Lexington all my life and visit Mayberry ( Mt Airy ) not often enough. I see the charm in both towns but why one " writer " would take a poke at wonderful Mayberry just to draw attention to an article that doesnt include Mayberry in its story kinda takes the cake. Its as though all the nice things that were written about Lexington doesnt include Mt. Airy in any form or simularity. Our paper is owned by the New York Times if that tells you anything. I will write them a little something. I feel like Barney did when he wrote his resignation papers to the Esquire Club.
