Return To Mayberry: A statue honoring television's Andy Griffith Show graces a scenic park near downtown Raleigh. The statue depicts Andy Taylor and son Opie heading to the lake, fishing pole . . . and corndog?! . . . in hand. In the show, Raleigh was the far away big city where high living abounds. Sheriff Taylor sometimes exhorted his deputy Barney Fife to "pack up the 'ol salt-and-pepper (suit), head to Raleigh, get a corner room at the "Y", and really live it up."
