Andy Griffith grew up in Mount Airy, NC and it just fits the whole personality of Mayberry. There is a Mayberry museum, an Andy Griffith Playhouse, squad car tours, and a replica courthouse.
When you begin to explore Mount Airy in the wine country region of Northern North Carolina, you realize you might have found a modern-day Mayberry.
Temperatures are anywhere from 25 to 87 with 45 inches of rain annually and about 10-1/2 inches of snow.
Population is around 10,500-11,000. Median age is 46.6 years of age. Median income is around $34,089. Industries include furniture manufacturing, granite quarrying, textiles, and tobacco.
As I research North Carolina to decide which area I want to live in, I will definitely be hitting Mount Airy as a contender.
