The Andy Griffith show is a classic. One of my favorite shows of all time. It is still fun to watch today more than 50 years after it made it's debut.

I hate that I never got to see him in person. I had a chance to see Don Knotts at a fan function for The Andy Griffith Show right after we moved to Nashville in 1999 and I ended up not going. When Don died I hated I had not made it a priority to go.

I have been to Mt. Airy, NC which is speculated to be the inspiration for Mayberry. They have made it a tourist destination for AGS fans. Only one actual establishment from Mt. Airy is named in The Andy Griffith show and that is the Snappy diner. It has been open since the 1920's and they do serve the pork chop sandwich mentioned in the show. It is a boneless pork chop run through a wringer type device that flattens it before it is cooked. It is served as a sandwich with a special coleslaw on it that is not like any coleslaw I have eaten before. Very good!

Loved and still love Mayberry RFD! RIP Andy!!!!

And you know I hate to put a damper on the grief, but that is one less vote for Obama. Andy made a video in support of Obamacare.
