His wife is from Jackonville, I beleive.
Andy Griffith has been one of the most popular and long running shows in syndication ever. That is saying something. So is leaving the air at the number 1 position, a feat only 'I Love Lucy' and 'Seinfeld' have matched.
I went to Mayberry (Mt. Airy NC) last summer for the first time, and it was a nice excursion.
RIP Andy.
A great film

RIP

No. Jax could learn a few things from Mount Airy though, that's for sure.
