What Others Are Saying...

We are very proud of our small-town culture, and we appreciate the kind words of others:

The Mount Airy News, September 10, 2007: Top Retirements.com - One of the best places to retire. What Mount Airy is like for active adults.

"The hypnotic tranquility of Mayberry – America’s favorite small Southern town - has inspired an ever-increasing band of devotees who are flocking by the thousands to Mount Airy, the place they call ‘the real Mayberry.’ And the Mayberry-Mount Airy connection has given the town a trump card to play in the tourist trade."
- Atlanta Journal Constitution

"Mount Airy is reminiscent of a simpler time, when life moved a little slower and people knew their neighbors...It's comforting to know places such as Mount Airy still exist in America and they warmly welcome visitors.
- The Dallas Morning News

"Community, connectedness, continuity, character and caring are values I've embraced since transplanting in Mount Airy, N.C., (population 8,514) from L.A. They’re propelling the '90s migratory trend toward small towns. In times of social fragmentation and alienation small towns offer a code that looks attractive rather than restrictive."
- Wanda Urbanska, Moving To A Small Town, USA Today

“It’s almost mystical the way people here relate to friends and strangers,” he [Pete Lydens] said of the town [Mount Airy], where actor Andy Griffith grew up and which still resembles the fictional Mayberry in Mr. Griffith’s 1960s TV show. “It’s the ideal place to retire.” Many people who have spent their careers navigating suburban sprawl, leaving little time to get to know their neighbors, are drawn to the idea of living in a friendly town with a store-lined main street, a coffee shop, a local theater and museum or two."
