Instagram- AdamTheWooATW Ive been to Mt Airy before , a year ago I stated in Andy Griffith’s home and many years ago did the squad tour . I figured since mom had never been it was time for an update . One of here favorite shows , she really loved going here . Thanks for watching
Grew up about 15-20 minutes northeast in Patrick County VA and worked in Mount Airy in my teens/early 20s, including the North Carolina Granite Corp. quarry. My dad retired from there after several decades. Great video and love your channel!
@@TheDailyWoo My mama went to heaven recently. My name is a tribute to my little girl, Mallary, that was waiting for her. Brother, you sound like you recognize the value of the time you're spending together. I did that for the last couple of years, and it's one of the wisest things I've ever done. One day you'll be glad you did too. I sure miss my mama, and some of my family, but I'll see them again. Never take it for granted. There isn't a show, anywhere, at any time, that's better than The Andy Griffith Show. I've watched each episode probably 100 times. I'm not exaggerating either. The values these shows portrayed were worth taking to heart. Thank you for doing this.
I lost my Mom 19 years ago and I would give anything to have shared an experience like this with her! This video made me smile! It makes me happy to see that you can share these kinds of special times with your mom! Cherish them ALWAYS Adam!
Adam you’re folks aren’t getting any younger. Spend as much time with them as possible. It’s always great to see you hanging around with them and taking them on some of your adventures. And I realize that you probably spend a lot of time with them off camera. Anywoo lol great video my friend. 👍👍😊
REALLY enjoying these trips with your Mom, Adam! She is a NATURAL and does not miss a beat! Your shared memories are so touching and poignant. So much tenderness and truth here. Thanks to you both.
This one was even better than the one you did last year. Mostly because your mom was with you and she enjoyed that so much! I just love to see the two of you enjoying these together!
Took my mom and late brother Tom there about ten years ago, he was a huge Andy Griffith Show fan. We did the squad car tour with a older black gentleman who had grown up with Andy. I HIGHLY recommend the squad car tours. I've got pictures of Tom in the cell and the back seat of the squad car, and Mom at Andy's desk. Aunt Bee's Studebaker survives, it belongs to the people behind the Old Time Threshers Convention, held every year in Denton, NC, about 75 miles south of Mt. Airy... or Mount Mayberry as some people like to call it.
Fun fact: Andy did a late life interview and stated that right before she died Frances Bavier called him and apologized for how she’s treated him the entire time. I saw the interview myself. So she wasn’t all that bad.
I knew 2 people who used to take care of Frances's yard and clean her cats "litter box" when she lived in Sanford NC. It was really a tub in an unused bathroom. They had to use a shovel in and wear a mask over their face.
There was something wrong with her near the end, because her home smelled extremely bad due to her cats using the house and bathroom and tub as their bathroom. There was cat poop and urine EVERYWHERE.
Adam, thank you so much for taking us along with you and your mom to Andy's hometown. I grew up watching that show, and it's still on some channels today! Your mom and dad are awesome...just like you!🙂
You really made your mother's day Adam! The two of you were having so much fun together. It's so nice that you can share with your mom your fond memories of places that you have previously visited. From this vlog I found out that my dad and Andy Griffith were born in the same year. My dad has been deceased for a little over 14 years now. The Andy Griffith Show was one of my dad's favorite shows.
So glad to see you and mom Woo together and enjoying yourselves on your back road adventures. Your mom is such a hoot. I like that TV Land plaque saying...so true !!!! I still watch the reruns. A great adventure Mr. Adam and mom Woo. Safe travels.
My husband and I got married there in the courthouse by an Andy Griffith impersonator. Glad to see you and your mom come back through! (I live close by!) So welcome! 🥰
Very interesting tour , loved watching Andy Griffith show as a kid , the true stories about the actors of shows we watched are sometimes good or inspirational but then some are almost tragic and sad . Keep up the good work Adam .
These have been great videos Adam.....refreshing to see you in a new area and new phase of your life....enjoying new things and different areas and revisiting childhood memories. It's a good life!
" Sorry Barnys not here, I'm his girlfriend June " lol your mother is a scream Adam, by the way listening to your mom and Don the tour driver with those beautiful accents loved it, wonderful vlog, and for Mama for Christmas gotta be a gavel Thankyou
One of my favorite places to visit. When we lived in Burlington we would drive over all the time. The Malt Shop, Snappy lunch and Floyd’s are the highlights. The fall is the best time to go to see the changing leaves.
The Andy Griffith show did bring a lot joy to people's lives. Andy reminded me a lot of my Pawpaw too Adam. He looked like him and had the same mannerisms. I'm so glad you got to take your mama to see Mayberry. Ya'll were having a great time. I had no idea Aunt Bee didn't really get along with Andy. That's shocking. She was a good actress, because I'd never guess that. Thank you Adam for sharing this with us. Loved it !! ❤
Good morning.☕ Happy Saturday. What a great vlog. Thank you for letting us join you & your mom. My wife's cousin & her husband have been here many times in the past. They are huge fans of the show like many of us. We would get a calendar at Christmas time from them from there.Don was a very fun tour guide. Both sandwiches looked yummy. Making mom & son memories. Have a blessed weekend.🙏🏼💕
I love this! I grew up watching the Andy Griffith Show every weekday at my grandparents house. Now in my 30's, I got nostalgic and bought the entire show collection.
Love the Andy Griffith Show and have been to Mt. Airy a couple times. Did the Museum and squad car tour last time, but haven’t stayed in his house yet. Fun to see you getting such a kick out of your Mom’s visit
So much fun! So glad you’re having these great moments and memories with your Mom. Hope you’re both safe in the snow storm! We’re driving back from frigid Florida to NJ tomorrow.
@@stephaniepersin4145 - we heard it’s in the teens in NJ. We got to NC today, and so far we haven’t seen any traces of snow. My sister-in-law, who lives near Ocean City NJ, got about 18+ inches and MAJOR drifts!!
My friend, it’s so beautiful what you’re doing with your mom and wonderful to watch. I know it can be slightly uncomfortable to get personal but thank you so much-it is a really beautiful thing to see! Wishing both of you all the love!
Adam, what a sweet privilege to share this time with your mom! I miss my parents so much. Enjoy your time with them. Thank you for sharing this with us!
Not only have I seen all the black n white Andy Griffith episodes dozens of times, but I have the first 4 seasons on disc and have seen them literally hundreds of times. Never gets old. The latter seasons I didn’t live so much, but the early seasons were fantastic! When Barney ruled supreme.
Thank you so much for taking us along to Mt. Airy, N.C. Andy Griffiths home town. Loved the show and I still watch the reruns. I would love to visit Mr. Airy and take the tour one day. Your mom was so cute when she just climbed in the sidecar 😁. She looked like she had alot of fun. Thank you for sharing your trip with your mom. Sweet lady.🙂
Adam you covered more ground than I did, I went to Mt. Airy with my mom and I enjoyed it! I went into to Snappy’s the pork chop “range” was being cleaned so I had sausage egg and biscuit “not bad” I’d recommend it. Food is good but i liked just sit and soak it in, I could hear the locals talking. That is part of the fun of small town life where ever you are! That rock quarry and the church it was built from you can’t more basic than that, there’s a sermon someone could come up with.Glad you and mom could cruise around town.
Hello, Adam...I visited Mount Airy back in 2018. I visited many of the places that you covered here. Covid has curtailed all of my travelling so I am grateful to re-live some of my adventures through your travels. Thank you!
Wow!!! I enjoy all of your videos, but this one is by far my favorite to date. I loved The Andy Griffith Show and I enjoyed your other Andy videos but this one was amazing. I could have listened to Don for hours. Great Job!!!
I remember watching that video(s) from when you were here, or I guess technically "there," previously... when you were able to stay in the house. It was so freakin cool. I've got to admit, that when you started talking about the artifacts/relics/whatever you choose to call them, and you genuinely get so sincerely and incredibly excited about seeing them and being able to have them right in front of you, or in some cases even touching/holding them... You can just hear and feel your appreciation and love for these folks who open their homes and shows that they represent. It absolutely puts a giant smile on my face. I know I could have said this all in a better way, but I think you got the drift, lol. It's just so awesome and wholesome to see someone that loves this type of stuff, and it's history, more so than I do.. which is saying something, LOL. Thank you so much for sharing this personal time with your momma, Adam. Also, please let her know that we appreciate her understanding. 🙏
I tell ya what man with the gray skies and that small town feel that video of the tour driving around Mt. Airy in that old car hit me in my heart reminded me of traveling wi rgb my dad or older relatives just cruising a shooting the crao driving around.. I love it
So cute seeing how excited your mom was to be there. Your mom is Barney Fife’s girlfriend. Lol~~ I have been to Manteo (which is where he spent his final years) many, many times but never been to Mt. Airy.
Adam the woo...thank you. Been watching you for maybe 6 months at least. Seen a lot of your vlogs and the past ones with your dad and now with your mom and In the town of Andy Griffith. One of the last great tv shows of all time. Thank you always wanted to go and never got around to it. Keep up the great videos and also I really like how you make time for your parents. Your mom was great with you enjoying the town. I'm 53 I would he silly acting too if I ever get chance to go. Ask your mom if she remembers name of bridge that Andy and barney had to cross on the way to help the Darlenes in epp mountain wedding. She'll get a kick out of that answer. Answer is Robert e Lee natural Bridge oak tree that fell across shallow spot in the creek.
Grew up watching The Andy Griffith Show and thankful for it. So many core values presented in that wonderful series then, yet sadly missing today. The show and many of its characters are gone now, but those simple values can live on through us if we’ll allow them to. Examples that need setting and now up to us to exhibit and pass on.
HEY ATW...WHEN BOTH OF MY SONS WERE IN Elementary School, my father would watch them after school. My father loved "Matlock", so my son's ended up loving it too due to repetitive forced viewing (lol). To this day, they quote Matlock and love Andy Griffith. Thanks for an awesome vlog that my son's and I enjoyed together. Seeing all the sights and sounds of his hometown was an extremely helpful tool to humanize their memories of childhood. Thank you!!!
Awe, now that's what I'm talking about. Excellent video and with your mom you too are quite the pair fun to watch. Truly does take me back, I was born in 1960 needless to say I was blessed with the opportunity to watch many of the Andy Griffith shows over the years.
Yeah! Love Mt Airy to pieces. What a great place to visit. It is the kind of place that every time you go there you can find something new. You have got to plan on coming to Mayberry Days sometime in the future. It is in September. A great time, crowded but so much fun and always making new friends with kindred spirits that love The Andy Griffith Show. Oh, guess what...A few years ago Stark Howell, son of Hoke Howell who was PFC US Army Dud Wash who married Charlene Darling, came to the festival. Had breakfast with him on the last morning at the motel we were staying at and he was telling me about an idea he had to make a movie about the fans of The Andy Griffith Show that come every year to Mayberry Days. Well it happened, Stark directed the movie along with his brother Cort who was producer and Greg Schell (Son of Ronnie Schell) and I got to be an extra in the film showing up in two scenes, one at The Loaded Goat and the other at Walley's Service station. It was a very exciting time. The movie is called "Mayberry Man". It is showing in select theaters and now on DVD. The supporting actors are all tribute artist of the characters of the show. I certainly enjoyed this video with you and you Mom and also the one you did when you spent the night in Andy's house.
Adam, This trip with your Mom is a Classic!! My Aunt and Cousin operate the Little David’s Carpet Store which occupies that rest of the old building where the recreation of Andy’s Office, Courthouse and Jail is located. You’ve just got to love the ole TV Programs like The Andy Griffith Show.
I loved this visit! Being a big Andy Griffith fan, I need to go there. Love the museum/sheriff’s office. And the squad car tour, so fun! Lots of good info. And your Mom really enjoyed it too. Nice to see you two having fun with it all. Gotta check out Barney’s Cafe as well as the one you went into. I know how much most of the cast, especially Don, loved doing the show, and they were like family. It’s just sad that ‘Aunt Bee’ wasn’t like that. Crazy. She played such a sweet woman. Good acting.
I enjoyed that visit to Andy's home town. thanks for making it. I used to love watching The Andy Griffith Show growing up in New Zealand when we only had B&W TV and one channel in the 1960s. Your Mum was fun in the clip too.
I lived there for 9 yrs, was hired at that Post office, beautiful town and people. I knew the owner of squad car tours, that is fun for all. But the stars are new to me, Couldn’t be there to long. 🤔 So happy you shared this with your mother 👍🙏. And thanks for sharing, brings back memories, we’d stand in the windows of the Post office while working and watch the parade every year. 🎉❤️
Don't mean to pop balloons but Mr Airy was not the model for Mayberry and that's according to Andy Griffith in an interview. Sheldon Leonard spun the show off the Danny Thomas Show., Make Room For Daddy. He didn't mind letting Mt Airy take the show to the bank. Andy rode herd over the script each Monday. He did pull names from NC and Surry County but there was no adlibing in the show. Every story Barney told was word for word from the script of which every word was signed off by Andy Griffith.
Thanks for the ride along tour. That guy was really interesting. I rate "The Andy Griffith Show" as very high on my list of all time favorites. Especially the early ones. The show was funny, but perhaps more importantly, displayed values that I strongly associate with, and find admirable. From what I read about Andy Griffith he was actually pretty much an embodiment of those values. Mt Olive NC is supposed to be close by, and was often the "big city" Andy and Barney went to for entertainment and fancy dinners. It is also where they make Mt Olive pickles, a brand that I buy every time I go to the commissary.
@@ocd1927 I often thought there was a connection. Apparently not. Never been to that area, just wondered. Still good pickles, btw......now that you squared me away, I researched where the pickles are made and they are made in the town Mt Olive, an actual town, located between Fayetteville and the coast, and Mt Airy is clear up near Va. Sometimes one learns things in these comments sections; Thanks.
Well that was excellent. That fella could talk but he really added to the experience. Seeing that quarry and his old house. The Aunt Bea room! I think they may have had a fan blowing for air circulation keep things from going stale. Also, I like fried Baloney sandwiches but you got to have thin balona with the edges fried crispy, white bread with mustard. That is the way!
I watch The Andy Griffith Show every day on MeTV and TV Land and visited this museum last Summer. We saw the filling station, courthouse and had a bottle of homemade pop at Walkers Drugstore. One of the best vacations ever when you can relive a childhood favorite show.

I loved it when your mom hopped in the sidecar! lol. Glad you two had such a fun day.
Your mom is such a sweetheart:)
FYI, aunt bea actually lived about 30 minutes from Mt Airy in the town of Siler City, NC until her passing.
Your mom is having a blast. So much fun to watch!
She is . I’m having a great time with her

my father was raised during the great depredation my father enjoyed the Andy Griffith Show and car 54 where are you TV show sorry for any misspells.
Exactly my thoughts!
Love seeing this place! Andy Griffith show still gets watched in my house 😁
It’s one of the best !
I lost my Mom 19 years ago and I would give anything to have shared an experience like this with her! This video made me smile! It makes me happy to see that you can share these kinds of special times with your mom! Cherish them ALWAYS Adam!
Your mom is soooo cute!!!
Awwwwww Adam!!! The time with your Mom...... priceless hoss.... priceless!
Enjoy, stay safe and soak it all up!
Adam you’re folks aren’t getting any younger. Spend as much time with them as possible. It’s always great to see you hanging around with them and taking them on some of your adventures. And I realize that you probably spend a lot of time with them off camera. Anywoo lol great video my friend. 👍👍😊
Those memories with mum,dad and your sister is so precious and will last for ever
REALLY enjoying these trips with your Mom, Adam! She is a NATURAL and does not miss a beat! Your shared memories are so touching and poignant. So much tenderness and truth here. Thanks to you both.
Don the tour guide is the PADDYFAMILIOUS!! He was a hoot Adam! 70 yrs young and enjoying life!!
This one was even better than the one you did last year. Mostly because your mom was with you and she enjoyed that so much! I just love to see the two of you enjoying these together!
Your mom looks like she had a great time. It’s awesome to see you happy and excited when your with your mom.
Your mom is so sweet and I love her laugh. Thank you for sharing your travels with us.
Wonderful!
*Loved* the blast on the old squad-car siren there - nothing says "ok, pull it over buddy" like those old-style sirens!
Your Mom had so much fun. I think she needs a Gavel as her next birthday gift! Great tour.
Growing up in Mayberry in the 50's would have been the sweet spot of Americana. Your mom is so cool!
"Well, maybe you should get one then." What a sweet Southern accent your mom has. Fun times.
Lovely to see your mum enjoying the day.Hope you had fun,looks like you both did.
I love me some Mama Woo! You are so lucky to be able to have these great trips with your family. Enjoy them while you can!
Took my mom and late brother Tom there about ten years ago, he was a huge Andy Griffith Show fan. We did the squad car tour with a older black gentleman who had grown up with Andy. I HIGHLY recommend the squad car tours. I've got pictures of Tom in the cell and the back seat of the squad car, and Mom at Andy's desk.

I absolutely loved the tour. That gentleman was just filled with Andy trivia! Thanks for taking us along!
Fun fact: Andy did a late life interview and stated that right before she died Frances Bavier called him and apologized for how she’s treated him the entire time. I saw the interview myself. So she wasn’t all that bad.
I knew 2 people who used to take care of Frances's yard and clean her cats "litter box" when she lived in Sanford NC. It was really a tub in an unused bathroom. They had to use a shovel in and wear a mask over their face.
It sounds like she had some pretty severe mental health issues. Not that that excuses bad behaviour, but it helps it make sense.
There was something wrong with her near the end, because her home smelled extremely bad due to her cats using the house and bathroom and tub as their bathroom. There was cat poop and urine EVERYWHERE.
The Andy Griffith Show is a national treasure.
Adam, thank you so much for taking us along with you and your mom to Andy's hometown. I grew up watching that show, and it's still on some channels today! Your mom and dad are awesome...just like you!🙂
You’re so good to your momma - you a good dude. I respect a man that is that good to their mom.
The squad car ride LOOKS AWESOME!
You really made your mother's day Adam! The two of you were having so much fun together. It's so nice that you can share with your mom your fond memories of places that you have previously visited. From this vlog I found out that my dad and Andy Griffith were born in the same year. My dad has been deceased for a little over 14 years now. The Andy Griffith Show was one of my dad's favorite shows.
Floyd the barber was a great character. Especially when Barney and him would argue, it's hilarious.
So glad to see you and mom Woo together and enjoying yourselves on your back road adventures. Your mom is such a hoot. I like that TV Land plaque saying...so true !!!! I still watch the reruns. A great adventure Mr. Adam and mom Woo. Safe travels.
My husband and I got married there in the courthouse by an Andy Griffith impersonator. Glad to see you and your mom come back through! (I live close by!) So welcome! 🥰

Good morning you two. ive had a great time watching your travels this week. ive started every show with a piping hot caffeinated beverage. Be safe.
These have been great videos Adam.....refreshing to see you in a new area and new phase of your life....enjoying new things and different areas and revisiting childhood memories. It's a good life!
" Sorry Barnys not here, I'm his girlfriend June " lol your mother is a scream Adam, by the way listening to your mom and Don the tour driver with those beautiful accents loved it, wonderful vlog, and for Mama for Christmas gotta be a gavel Thankyou
That was the funniest moment of the year and it's only January.
I loved that show, and it's great to see this woman's enjoyment of this tour! 😃💞

Well Aunt Bea was a real southern gal with conservative values where as Andy was a leftist SJW.

🕶✌Morning Woo, Gotta love the Andy Griffith show, I always liked Gomer Pyle he was Funny. Great watch this was cool
"Citizens Arrest! Citizens Arrest!" That is so funny. And his impression is spot on.
So much fun! So glad you’re having these great moments and memories with your Mom. Hope you’re both safe in the snow storm! We’re driving back from frigid Florida to NJ tomorrow.
It’s really cold up in SW PA now and East Coast got slammed this time around.

Adam, what a sweet privilege to share this time with your mom! I miss my parents so much. Enjoy your time with them. Thank you for sharing this with us!
I can “hear” that Andy and Opie statue. I couldn’t help but start whistling.
Adam The Woo is some kind of video making machine both the output and amount is amazing and the quality can`t be matched .
Not only have I seen all the black n white Andy Griffith episodes dozens of times, but I have the first 4 seasons on disc and have seen them literally hundreds of times. Never gets old. The latter seasons I didn’t live so much, but the early seasons were fantastic! When Barney ruled supreme.
I absolutely LOVE when Adam does these roadtrips with his parents!
Your mom is so cute! What a fun day! I love when you call her Mama. So sweet!
Best video to date! We are definitely going to Mayberry. Glad to see your mamma having so much fun.
Very cool place! Would love to visit there someday.
Treasure these moments while you can, Adam. Wish my parents were still around to enjoy.
Loving the road trip videos.
That was absolutely amazing! Loved your mom in the squad car! So cute! The driver was so informative! Thanks for the take along!😇😇

Your mom was cracking us up! This was so fun to watch! We adore Mamma Woo
This was so cool. Great to see you and your mom having such a great time as well! Thanks for sharing!
Love the way your mum was talking through the earpiece of the phone, classic. Glad you are having mother son time. God bless to you both.
We so enjoyed this vlog in Mt. Airy with your Mom! Such a delight to watch y’all have so much fun!
Andy Griffith show was one of my favorite shows growing up. Glad you brought your Mom with you! Looks like a lot of fun.
Love the episodes with you and your parents. They are so adorable and such a nice family.
Welcome back to my "back yard". Glad to see your Mom having fun. And Andy was President of the Glee Club at UNC, where I also went.
That's one place I want to visit, too. It's so nostalgic. I'm glad you and Mom Woo had such a great time, Adam. I'm lovin' this whole roadtrip.

I tell ya what man with the gray skies and that small town feel that video of the tour driving around Mt. Airy in that old car hit me in my heart reminded me of traveling wi rgb my dad or older relatives just cruising a shooting the crao driving around.. I love it
So cute seeing how excited your mom was to be there. Your mom is Barney Fife’s girlfriend. Lol~~ I have been to Manteo (which is where he spent his final years) many, many times but never been to Mt. Airy.
She cracked me up with that

Hi Cindy!
Jim Adams 👋
Adam the woo...thank you. Been watching you for maybe 6 months at least. Seen a lot of your vlogs and the past ones with your dad and now with your mom and In the town of Andy Griffith. One of the last great tv shows of all time. Thank you always wanted to go and never got around to it. Keep up the great videos and also I really like how you make time for your parents. Your mom was great with you enjoying the town. I'm 53 I would he silly acting too if I ever get chance to go. Ask your mom if she remembers name of bridge that Andy and barney had to cross on the way to help the Darlenes in epp mountain wedding. She'll get a kick out of that answer. Answer is Robert e Lee natural Bridge oak tree that fell across shallow spot in the creek.
Educational and Fun/Funny.. Thanks Mom & Adam !.. it was great 😊
Amazing! Didn’t even know this existed! And any episode with your mom or dad is absolute GOLD! It is my favorite type of episodes!
Great video. Brought back memories for sure. Don was really fun and your mom is so cool. For sure something I would do if I ever get out that way.
Grew up watching The Andy Griffith Show and thankful for it. So many core values presented in that wonderful series then, yet sadly missing today. The show and many of its characters are gone now, but those simple values can live on through us if we’ll allow them to. Examples that need setting and now up to us to exhibit and pass on.
HEY ATW...WHEN BOTH OF MY SONS WERE IN Elementary School, my father would watch them after school. My father loved "Matlock", so my son's ended up loving it too due to repetitive forced viewing (lol). To this day, they quote Matlock and love Andy Griffith. Thanks for an awesome vlog that my son's and I enjoyed together. Seeing all the sights and sounds of his hometown was an extremely helpful tool to humanize their memories of childhood. Thank you!!!
Awe, now that's what I'm talking about. Excellent video and with your mom you too are quite the pair fun to watch. Truly does take me back, I was born in 1960 needless to say I was blessed with the opportunity to watch many of the Andy Griffith shows over the years.
Yeah! Love Mt Airy to pieces. What a great place to visit. It is the kind of place that every time you go there you can find something new. You have got to plan on coming to Mayberry Days sometime in the future. It is in September. A great time, crowded but so much fun and always making new friends with kindred spirits that love The Andy Griffith Show. Oh, guess what...A few years ago Stark Howell, son of Hoke Howell who was PFC US Army Dud Wash who married Charlene Darling, came to the festival. Had breakfast with him on the last morning at the motel we were staying at and he was telling me about an idea he had to make a movie about the fans of The Andy Griffith Show that come every year to Mayberry Days. Well it happened, Stark directed the movie along with his brother Cort who was producer and Greg Schell (Son of Ronnie Schell) and I got to be an extra in the film showing up in two scenes, one at The Loaded Goat and the other at Walley's Service station. It was a very exciting time. The movie is called "Mayberry Man". It is showing in select theaters and now on DVD. The supporting actors are all tribute artist of the characters of the show. I certainly enjoyed this video with you and you Mom and also the one you did when you spent the night in Andy's house.
I visited "Mayberry" a few years ago and had so much fun. It's definitely worth a stop. Your MOM is delightful!
That was a fantastic vlog. Thank you so much, and great to have Mama along for the day. She's a treasure ☺️
Adam,
This trip with your Mom is a Classic!! My Aunt and Cousin operate the Little David’s Carpet Store which occupies that rest of the old building where the recreation of Andy’s Office, Courthouse and Jail is located.
You’ve just got to love the ole TV Programs like The Andy Griffith Show.
This is so cool...brings back many great memories growing up in the 60s and watching Andy Griffith.

I loved this visit! Being a big Andy Griffith fan, I need to go there. Love the museum/sheriff’s office. And the squad car tour, so fun! Lots of good info. And your Mom really enjoyed it too. Nice to see you two having fun with it all. Gotta check out Barney’s Cafe as well as the one you went into. I know how much most of the cast, especially Don, loved doing the show, and they were like family. It’s just sad that ‘Aunt Bee’ wasn’t like that. Crazy. She played such a sweet woman. Good acting.
I enjoyed that visit to Andy's home town. thanks for making it. I used to love watching The Andy Griffith Show growing up in New Zealand when we only had B&W TV and one channel in the 1960s. Your Mum was fun in the clip too.
I lived there for 9 yrs, was hired at that Post office, beautiful town and people. I knew the owner of squad car tours, that is fun for all. But the stars are new to me, Couldn’t be there to long. 🤔 So happy you shared this with your mother 👍🙏. And thanks for sharing, brings back memories, we’d stand in the windows of the Post office while working and watch the parade every year. 🎉❤️
Hey Adam! Good Morning to you and your mom! Mayberry or at least the town that inspired Mayberry! Cool! Have a great day and stay safe!
Don't mean to pop balloons but Mr Airy was not the model for Mayberry and that's according to Andy Griffith in an interview. Sheldon Leonard spun the show off the Danny Thomas Show., Make Room For Daddy. He didn't mind letting Mt Airy take the show to the bank. Andy rode herd over the script each Monday. He did pull names from NC and Surry County but there was no adlibing in the show. Every story Barney told was word for word from the script of which every word was signed off by Andy Griffith.
Thanks for the ride along tour. That guy was really interesting. I rate "The Andy Griffith Show" as very high on my list of all time favorites. Especially the early ones. The show was funny, but perhaps more importantly, displayed values that I strongly associate with, and find admirable. From what I read about Andy Griffith he was actually pretty much an embodiment of those values. Mt Olive NC is supposed to be close by, and was often the "big city" Andy and Barney went to for entertainment and fancy dinners. It is also where they make Mt Olive pickles, a brand that I buy every time I go to the commissary.
Mt Pilot (fictitious), not Mt Olive. Don't mistake Pilot Mountain with Mt Pilot. Pilot Mountain is between Mt Airy And Winston-Salem on off US52.
@@ocd1927 I often thought there was a connection. Apparently not. Never been to that area, just wondered. Still good pickles, btw......now that you squared me away, I researched where the pickles are made and they are made in the town Mt Olive, an actual town, located between Fayetteville and the coast, and Mt Airy is clear up near Va. Sometimes one learns things in these comments sections; Thanks.
That's nice of you to take your Mom to see the Andy Griffith town 😀 of Mayberry. I'm glad you had fun.
Wonderful to see Mayberry. Mt. Airy is less than an hour from my home. Enjoyed your Mom getting into the side car. She sure surprised me. Loved it!
Well that was excellent. That fella could talk but he really added to the experience. Seeing that quarry and his old house. The Aunt Bea room! I think they may have had a fan blowing for air circulation keep things from going stale. Also, I like fried Baloney sandwiches but you got to have thin balona with the edges fried crispy, white bread with mustard. That is the way!
I watch The Andy Griffith Show every day on MeTV and TV Land and visited this museum last Summer. We saw the filling station, courthouse and had a bottle of homemade pop at Walkers Drugstore. One of the best vacations ever when you can relive a childhood favorite show.
Such a great place. Enjoy your trip and how perfect with your Mom.
That's some good eating at Snappys.
