11. "Mayberry" Set,
The Andy Griffith
Show
Back in 1967, Andy Griffith
commented, "Funny thing about
the Mayberry we know at Forty
Acres - is that even though all the
buildings are false fronts, when
you're working there, you get the
feeling of being in a small town.
You forget that on the other side
of the fence is one of the biggest
cities in the world." (from
