Ok, I need to clean my head about something. I've ready many articles such as the one attached below I found recently. Where is the real Mayberry ? I live about an hour away from Mt Airy and ride my motorcycle on the Blue Ridge Parkway fairly often. There are two things I remember seeing very well up there. One is a Mayberry Church and the other is a Mayberry Trading Post. I asked a nice lady who has lots of Mayberry ( the show ) memorabilia in her store about the area on the parkway being Mayberry. She said it was Mayberry and the township or whatever it was , was registered as Mayberry on the map, though I found the address to be 883 Mayberry Church Rd, Meadows of Dan, VA 24120. The name of the road raises questions too. I apologize if I have a false memory but that is what I remember. What makes it so strange is that Mt. Airy and the Mayberry on the BRP are only 17 miles apart. Was it remotely possible that Andy Griffith/or someone else got the name of TAGS town from that little spot on the BRP ? Mayberry is a state of mind, Mt Airy is a reflection of the show but I think the name itself came from the Blue Ridge Parkway.

Jehu Barnard was the first post master, with the post office being in his home. www.mtnlaurel.com Holland _______________________________________________ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.wbmutbb.com/
