Hi Sonia,

I agree with you as I have been thinking about living there when I retire as it just about 5 minutes away from the lake. I see you live in Los Angeles, talk about to many fish in a fish bowl, that area is extremely populated. I use to live next to Washington DC until 1997 when I finally left as there were way to many people there as well. As you know, California has the highest tax rate in the United states and than you have to add your city tax to that. Here, taxes are low.

Mayberry is a state of mind. It can't be created with lumber and concrete.

This is pretty retarded. Mayberry isnt about the buildings, its about the people.

Its sad how some people think life is all about stuff. I live in a small town in central NJ, with 2000 residents. Everybody knows everybody, and hunting and fishing are the most popular outdoor activities. The waitress at the diner knows my order. I can't walk down main street without running into someone I know. I love it. Thats not something you can get buying real estate.

I thought I was going to see a "then and now"...where they filmed the show. Then when you go to watch this totally waste of my time story you come to find out this town has nothing at all to do with the show. I am fucking over whelmed.

@Rollman1 That's why there will NEVER be a real Mayberry, there were no 18 yr old punks walking the streets in Mayberry with their fucking ass showing, no loud ass radios blaring jungle music, no white girls with 7 mixed babies with no daddy in sight. No sir it cant happen on this earth anymore.

They might end up with another New Granada which "ignored the fact that a quarter of the population was 15 years old or younger."

Will Blacks be aloud to live there ? I never saw a Black person in Mayberry

not even driving through Did Barny or Andy ever see a Black man ? How would Elverna Bradshor react ? Would every shop in town put the closed sigh in the window?

Always thought it would be cool to live in the culdesac in "The Burbs"

[johnnyoh21]

Very interesting i like the Homage to the show. THE REAL Mayberry is in culver city though and it was torn down. because nobody cared about real. The residents were dreamers and storytellers who in real life were city folk who loved pretending they were country folk. I think the reality is much more interesting than the fantasy.

[liquid49286]

yea, the guy says its about dreams, then hires an outside contractor to do it. That's lame

[Elizabeth1763]

Wow that is crazy..I live in the real mayberry lol.

Who wouldn't love to live in Mayberry :)
