After visiting the North Carolina Granite Quarry, and the Historic Home district (which was my last post) We headed to the historic downtown of Mount Airy. |
The down town map is next to the parking lot, as well as the wall of attractions of Mount Airy. |
Snappy Lunch has been at the same place in down town Mount Airy since 1923. |
Mount Airy was settle as a stagecoach stop in 1750, between Winston-Salem, NC and Galax, Virginia. Mount Airy was incorporated in 1885. |
The more then 50 wineries in the Yadkin River Valley. |
Mount Airy is the town that Andy Griffith was born and raised. Mount Airy is believed to be the town that Mayberry is based from in the Andy Griffith Show. |
We walked up and down the historic downtown of Mount Airy/ Mayberry. |
You can find Mayberry and it's characters all over the town. |
A good place for a picture. |
Barney Fife and Joe |
Barney's cafe |
Floyd's Barber Shop |
B's Treasures |
One of the many pictures of Mayberry characters in another store front. |
The famous Mount Airy town clock. |
The Snappy Lunch which we came back to another day for lunch. |
Opie's Candy Store |
We stopped in at Miss Angel's Heavenly Pies. |
They also make brownies and cookies. This is the Moonshine Brownie. It was really good with ice cream, other wise a bit too rich for me. |
About a block from downtown is Wally's Service. |
