So, what's the best time of year to plant and grow churches? How often do they need to be watered?

I was going to say Pilot Mountain NC couldn't have a radio station with call letters starting with K.

Is this the same Mt. Pilot that's near Mayberry, that Andy Griffith was always traveling to for 'official business'?

Yes and it's in all reality and irony, smaller than Mount Airy, by far.

They said on "The Andy Griffith Show" that if some road or some industry had come to Mayberry, it would be the big town rather than Mount Pilot and the town wouldn't be what it is.

IIRC, wasn't Mt. Pilot the fictional county seat where the courthouse was located. I remember an episode where Sheriff Taylor had to transport a prisoner there.

Yeah, that's what they said. I believe that was on the one where they were getting a statue/monument up for (was it) Seth Taylor?

Ok, it's been awhile since I watched the show. I do know that Siler City was also mentioned on the show a few times.

Fun fact: Siler City was actress Frances Bavier's (Aunt Bea) real life home town.

I wish every town could be like Mayberry! 😊

Now back to the original topic. Lol.
