Every time I get into an OTIS elevator, I think of Otis Campbell.
Where was the Sheriff’s Office?
Along with Batman, The Green Hornet and Star Trek, 40 Acres (including Andy’s courthouse) appeared in the first season of The Adventures of Superman http://www.jimnolt.com/fortyacres1.htm
This is so cool.
This is cool!
Is too…I had a pork chop sandwich there last year, in Mount Airy, the REAL Mayberry.

CSI New York, Seinfeld and even NYPD Blue were largely filmed on sound stages in LA. On a few occasions, outdoors scenes were shot in New York.
The Andy Griffith show had extensive outdoor scenes and would have needed to be on a set like this.
I don’t remember Carroll’s Men’s Clothing I don’t think. I Remember all teh rest. BUT What famous landmark is missing?
Mt. Airy…What famous star besides Andy came from there? Don’t google.
is there an aerial shot of Hooterville?
I loved Andy’s “Football” records.
Thank you for posting. It is marvelous to see the set. It doesn’t really matter where it was located because it lives in our hearts.
His office was in the courthouse…,.where is gomer’s gas station?
Wanna blow someone away? Tell ’em that the Mayberry set was used in not one… but *two* Star Trek episodes.
where is Andy’s office?
Nothing hokey about getting a pork chop sandwich at the Snappy Lunch and walking the sidewalk afterward hearing the “Fishing Hole” being whistled on a PA speaker… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pFEkd4t0Oj0
“Mayberry” is more or less alive and well in North Carolina as a small town called Mount Airy. They have embraced the whole Mayberry atmosphere – Snappy Lunch, Floyd’s Barber Shop, etc. It’s quite the tourist attraction. Not a back lot, but a real town. People love it, even though it is really, really hokey.
