Let’s Go on a Wally's Squad Car Tour of Mt Airy, North Carolina also know as Mayberry. Norm our tour guide tells the story of where the name Mayberry came from and how he learned himself.
We will be back in Mt, Airy, NC the first week of October. Come out and visit with us while we're there filming. We hope to show you the real life people and places of Mayberry in our new series "A Mayberry State of Mind".

Great video guys! Stop by Sycamore Shoals State Park near Johnson City and do a video on the Over Mountain men during the American Revolution. Many of us in the Tennessee, North Carolina and Virginia area are related to these men who fought the British at King's Mountain and don't even know it. John Sevier and Davy Crockett's father fought there. It was a turning point in the American Revolution. Great job guys, keep up the good work!

Oh my goodness this video was just the best! I still watch Andy Griffith reruns on my tv. One person that I did not hear mentioned was Aunt Bee...did he have any info on her. Just loved her character. Can't wait for the next installment of Mayberry here on your KZfaq channel. Thank you for an hour well spent!

@Mrs.Frankenstein 11 ай бұрын

Francis Bavier who played Aunt Bee actually lived a few towns over in Siler City, North Carolina. That's where she's buried. They say she was a hermit. She had a bunch of cats and a really big house and her house actually went up for sale last year the year before. Her accent was also really good acting lol. She was hard to work with from reading different books, and one time she broke an umbrella over Goobers head for saying a bad word lol.

My bucket list is getting big my friend. Places I want to go from watching your channel. But this is probably my favorite. I love that show. Andy Griffith and Rawhide, are my favorite old shows. I’ve been late to work over a good one being on in the morning. That’s saying something. Because normally I’m around 22 minutes early to work every day and never mis . That’s why I don’t turn the tv on in the morning. 😊
