The Appalachian Mountain Range

Really late for me, especially since I am still trying to figure out how they both can lose.
Kinda like, for me, when the charter plays orange/blue in baseball?
Yeah I get it 👍

And you should be a Red Sox fan, since 1976, and live in middle of NC! 😂😂
 
It won’t let me reply to any specific comment but GOOD GRIEF Mt. Airy has a Chili’s! How big of place is this modern day Mayberry? There isn’t a single (real) Chili’s anywhere west of Asheville. 🤣 I say “real” because there is one at WCU but it is just takeout.

Oh, and while some of you are nitpicking over elevation, I live at 2800ft elevation and I’m in the river valley, for what it’s worth.
 
TD it’s doing that to me on page 2 now. This is like a haunted thread or something…
Oh by the way, y’all got a Cracker Barrel and a Chili’s?
Dude Ramseur lost their Hardee’s a few years back. What kind of town loses a Hardee’s? They’re like the Dollar General of fast food!
 
We have 3 McDonalds and down to 2 Hardees but had 3 at one time. Chick-fil-A, Cracker Barrel, and a Chili’s are all within a quarter mile of each other and about 30 to 40 more places to eat in Mount Airy if not more. My guess is more. When you grow up on Aunt Bea cooking then you need plenty of places coming to town. We also have an Aunt Bea's Restaurant. This is a hungry town that has busloads of people coming on tours to visit Mayberry. Some of our hometown restaurants have been here since the 1930s like The Derby, Snappy Lunch, and The Dairy Center.

And now it works again.
Haunted I tell you..:

Y’all. Have. A. Chick. Fil. A???

In Ramseur 30-40 places to eat would have to include about 25-35 cousins, grandparents and close friends houses…😂😂😂😂

Dude they have a Jimmy Johns, Jersey Mikes, Highway 55 Burgers, Golden Corral, and a Starbucks.

Even have a huge Dollar Tree
Working again…
Dammit!!!

Anyway if ER ends somehow having to play up there again this year I’m tempted to lock up the doublewide, put some yard chairs in the back of the truck and head up thataway. Think the 78 Camper Special would probably make it(dual tanks you know). That camper top does pull down my mileage into the single digit range though.
Just point it northwest and look for glow of neon right?
I need to talk to momma first though. We’d probably need to leave about Wednesday morning to guarantee we’d get there game time…
You know she usually warshes on Wednesday…
 
Stop in the big town of Elkin on the way up and we can have a whiskey. Got a couple mighty fine cocktail bars in town. I don't think Mayberry has any of those. Just those blue collar fellas at Chili's having Budwiser tall boys
 
Subways are like mattress stores. They're across the road from each other.


Even Ronda has a Subway
Do you mean like Dollar General, there is about 10 of those in and just outside the city. Would be more but people are fighting the county to keep some away from their part of town because they don't want the traffic. Mount Airy has several Furniture stores that sell mattresses but only one Mattress Store.

If Dollar Stores Could Meet, we have them all .

Kidd, I feel your pain. We lost our Hardee's also. All we have is Subway and McDonald's. We do have the Copper Door. It is one of the finest 5 star restaurants in the southeast. If you go, bring your golf card.

Where do you think the word Mount as in mountain in Mount Airy came from ? It is in the Mountains but not the highest parts.

Mount Airy's Elevation is 1,063 feet.
Murphy's Elevation is 1,539 feet just about the length of 1 & 1/2 football field higher than Mount Airy.
What about Mount Olive?
