"You won't find Mayberry on any map
of North or South Carolina cause
Mayberry was a mythical town, kind
of a state of mind. Over the years a
lot of people have come to believe
that Mayberry is based on my home
town (Mt. Airy, North Carolina) and,
it is NOT, cause real towns have
real problems that have to be dealt
with. All of Mayberry's problems
were solved in half an hour. It was
a place full of joy, sometimes a lot
of laughs and always a lot of love."
