Abstract:

The Andy Griffith Show put a spotlight on small-town North Carolina life. The fictional town of Mayberry was inspired by the real hometown of Andy Griffith- Mount Airy. To many people in North Carolina, Mayberry represents everything about small-town life including the close-knit community, the amicable people, and the lifestyle that Andy Griffith himself personified.
