I grew up not far outside of Mt. Airy, NC, which is the town Andy Griffith grew up in and is the town Mayberry was based on. Outside my bathroom window I can see Pilot Mountain, which is where the town "Mt. Pilot" came from in the show. There are shitloads of old fart tourists who come to take pictures of the shops on Main Street and of the statue of Andy Griffith and of the Andy Griffith Playhouse, and I hate them all.
So yeah, ask me about some shit.
have you ever marklared any marklar?
does everyone in that crap town whistle the tune to the andy griffith show?
Mt. Airy looks very very little like Mayberry from TV, and has about 10k residents atm, so it's not really a little ass crap town like it was depicted on TV (though it very well may have been whenever Andy Griffith was growing up). However, about 20% of the population were below the poverty line at the last census, and the median income for a household was $26,910, fwiw.Quote:

Anyone named Opie in town? Are they suicidal at their parents' name choice?

I know two people from Mt. Airy named Opie who are both > 40 years old, but I don't know them well enough to answer the 2nd question.Quote:
