Seeing the Best of Mayberry in a Squad Car


    

Although Barney Fife won't be your driver, it's fun to get an introduction to Mt. Airy on a Squad Car Tour. A 30-minute ride around the city which inspired Andy Griffith's Mayberry includes a stop at the local granite mine plus many of Mt. Airy's famous landmarks. As your tour finishes, you'll know where you want to spend more time exploring this iconic television town!

Do you enjoy watching old television shows?

It's fun to have some mindless hours reliving our childhood by watching and laughing at reruns of the shows that we watched as kids (many were even reruns when we first watched 'em!). The Andy Griffith Show is one of Scott's favorites.

As we were planning our RV adventure taking us from Texas to the north and east, he realized that we would be very close to Mt. Airy. It was there that Andy Griffith grew up and was the inspiration for Mayberry.

I stumbled upon a Squad Car Tour and thought it would be the perfect way to start our day. Although the tour was very short (only about 30 minutes), it was a fun way to hear a little background about Main Street locations like Wally's Service Station, Floyd's Barber Shop, Snappy Lunch and more. We lucked out with a driver who lived his entire life in Mt. Airy ... and had spent some time with Andy Griffith.
