Mayberry, the gentle small town of the sheriff and his deputy, was never filmed here, it was a Hollywood backlot, but it was modelled on Andy Griffith's actual hometown, which has spent decades becoming Mayberry in self-defence. Squad-car tours, Snappy Lunch, a whole main street of it, a fiction the town has agreed to be.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
