I would rather live in Mayfield. It reminds me a little of what my home town was like when I was growing up.

Probably Mayberry because I wouldn't have to fend off Eddie Haskell, or Judy, or any of Beaver's slimy little buddies (Gilbert, Richard, etc.). I wouldn't mind living with the Taylors and eating Aunt Bee's wonderful meals. Plus, I love the fact that the biggest criminal is Otis, who locks himself up in the cell.

I'd pick Mayberry too.

Has anyone ever heard Rascal Flatts' song, Mayberry?

This is a difficult question though given both pluses and minuses for both I'd choose Mayfield since there is more to do. Mayberry would be great for a weekend getaway.

I'd rather live in Mayberry because it's a small town and all the people seem like fun people to know and hang out with.

Mayfield

Never a dully moment with Eddie, Gilbert, and Lumpy around. Plus I want to hang out with Gus the Fireman.

I loved Gus!! He ruled.

Always wanted to live in Mayberry....that sleepy little town where you can sit on the swing on your porch and enjoy Aunt Bea's homemade lemonade.

Mayfield actually was very close to the suburb that I did grow up in so been there, done that. I like the idea of the more southern weather more too.

Yes!! Aunt Bee, Floyd, Johnny Paul Jason...even Otis was a good guy. He was always paying his debt to society by locking himself up in the cell!!

He's the guy to go to for the cool stories, plus if your horse is sick in the garage- he's just a phone call away.
