Mayberry was actually a fictional town, but it was based on a real town - Mt. Airy, North Carolina, where Andy Griffith grew up. I lived in Windson-Salem from 1997-2001, and went there a few times because it’s only about a half hour’s drive north from there. Nice town that still maintains its small town character and has embraced the small bit of fame given to it by its native son.

Yes but what about that sprawling Metropolis, Mount Pilot?
:P
