A statue honoring television's Andy Griffith Show graces a scenic park near downtown Raleigh. The statue depicts Andy Taylor (enjoying a Dr Pepper) and son Opie heading to the lake as in the show's opening scene.  In the show, Raleigh was the 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."

Thanks for joining us for this tribute....
