Yeah, I live 10 min. from "Mayberry"! Since he came like last month everyone was all excited! A big time for us! No one EVER comes here! (I don't live IN Mt. Airy, I live in Pilot Mtn. pop. 1500)!

In the Mayberry Universe I'd reckon that would be the highway sometimes mentioned being under construction, such as the old guy's house marked for demolition, or two highway Barney patrolled on his motorcycle?

So, in reality, sophisticated Mount Pilot is actually much smaller than Mayberry.
