He was kinda hokey but his shows always had a positive message and were never raunchy. I would love to visit Mt.

It is now a must do. If you ever get to cross the bridge as if going to Elizabeth City, there should be a fellow beside the road selling fresh shrimp! If you love shrimp as we do, stop and get some.

I could not go into any of the museum's or building because of Maggie. Could not leave her in the truck. Maybe next year I can, now that I got her a buggy to ride in.

I imagine all the streets in Mayberry RV Park and absolutely everything in Mt. Airy are connected with the show and "Mayberry". I've been to OBX many many times although not enough times to suit me.
