is in. >>

Note:  The only Mount Airy I know of that would 30 or 40 miles of Danville,
VA is actually about 10 miles south of the VA/NC border in Surry Co NC.  A
neat little town  -  quite ancient but revived when Andy Griffith revived it
as Mayberry.  Now Mount Airy boasts Mayberry Motel, with Andy's Sherriff's
car parked out front (really!); Aunt Bea's restaurant; Floyd's Barbershop,
and all of the other familiar Mayberry sites.

Nearby, yoill find Mount Pilot  -  really Pilot Mountain, both town and
mountain.

A great place to visit  -  a great place to be born.  Hope you'll visit.
