Was it Mt Airy where Aunt Bee retired to and became a recluse with a house full of cats? Think it was.We took a trip to Mt Airy NC back in April to take my youngest daughter. She loves the Andy Griffith show and has wanted to go to Mayberry for a couple of years. We did a tour in a show era cop car and the driver was telling us that Thelma Lou lives there now and before Covid would go to the Andy Griffith Museum once per month to meet fans. He said she always meets with fans when they have their annual Andy Griffith festival as well. He said when she signs something for fans it isn't just her name she ask your name and writes a personal note. He said she was an outstanding lady.
Didn't know Thelma Lou lives there. Guess they're looking for a 'little piece of Mayberry'.
