The fictional town of “Mayberry” was based on Mount Airy, NC. That’s where Andy Griffin is from. His ‘legacy’ is a big tourist attraction there, but I don’t think he has much to do with the place after he left it decades ago. That might have changed. I don’t really care about it, or follow it. Was just posting what I DO know.
I realize that but if you watch the show, it’s only a few hours’ drive from Mayberry to Rocky Mount - which is too far from Mount Airy/Pilot Mountain.
I don’t recall the episodes though....I don’t really want to argue about it either.
I’ve heard some people argue where Hooterville is....it can’t be anywhere. Chicago is the hub airport, but it’s in the Old Confederacy, off the Wabash Cannonball line...in the Kangaroo State with a former actor as governor, etc.
