John you knocked this one out of the Park, I could watch this one again and again. We absolutely love Walkers and David is Wonderful. Thank You for allll these Mount Airy Videos and keep them coming.
Thank you for the shout-out! We are so happy that you went to Walkers and loved it, that's one of our many favorite places in Mt. Airy!! Hot Dogs are one of a kind there!
This is exactly the sort of place I love the most. The old offices and rooms with their original fittings intrigue me immensely, and this is a real corker, as they say. I wonder if there are many more like that around town, and around the country for that matter. Fantastic stuff. And it brings to mind the time my band had a gig at a bar-restaurant. We'd store our equipment in the upstairs space which still had numbered rooms from the time it had been a hotel some decades before. I wish I'd taken the time to explore more fully, but the band thing just didn't allow for it.
John , awesome video my friend . THANK you for this one. All the " Antique's " in this video is not old to me , cause I grew up with all these things WAY BACK IN THE DAY ! Love the phone .I grew up in the Bronx NY. In the 1950's I remember when my mom would give me a list to give to the grocery store owner and some money and tell me " you will get back one dollar and two quarters" it was different change Everytime .my parents smoked ( I never did ) they smoked Kent ciggerates they sent me down with a 10 dollar bill and would say you will get back a dime . Your work always brings back memories thank you for this video.. I know it's long but what the hell. I hope you read this today both my parents would be put in prison for what was normal back in the mid 1950's I live in Montana now ( as far away from the Bronx as possible ) been here for 34 years .again hope you read this FRANK FROM MONTANA........
I forgot to mention the butcher shop with saw dust all over the floors and the butcher would give me a slice of baloney while my mother would order what ever she needed. THANK YOU FRANK FROM MONTANA......
Another good one John! Makes this ol south carolina boy wanting to take a road trip. Up stairs was cool, Dave's got a front row seat in town.. very special place with good people
What a cool adventure, going upstairs and seeing all of that history. So cool. The banana splits looked HUGE. I'd have to order one. Sure would like to see that coal and all of the stuff he has in the basement. LOL The mural is amazing! Thanks for doing what you do for us.
This is why I like watching your videos seeing local historical places like this and the beautiful countryside of the southern parts of the US thank you very much John God Bless You.🇺🇲☕🤠☕🇺🇲
(This is Tom, not Sandra.) Fantastic video, sir. Thank you for posting it for us all to see. I love the old town feeling of Mt. Airy and it's history linking it with "The Andy Griffith Show".
I still have a 1959 upright freezer I inherited from my mother-in-law. It still runs like a top and I've never had to do anything to it except plug it in. They just don't make things like they used to.
Your videos always brighten my day after a busy work day. I just love all the history you show us. Its like looking into a time capsule some days. A simpler time in life I wish we were still living in. Thanks for bringing joy to so many all over the US. God bless you today and always. 🙏😃
@@theappalachianchannel You are so welcome and thank you. Looking forward to my trip to Pigeon Forge in a few weeks and seeing the beautiful smoky mountains. Your videos have given a taste of the beauty there. I can't wait!
That lady was a hoot, wonderful personality and a Veteran to boot! Great video John!

This is so much fun!❤
I remember when Donna Fargo came out with "The Happiest Girl in the Whole USA." Mama had a 45 rpm record of it.
That's as cool place. I love the Andy Griffith Show
I’d love to see you do speedy chef and the dairy center, Odell’s. Those 3 have the best ground steaks. I worked for speedy chef for my first job.
Awesome video! Don't think Madison likes being videoed 😅. Little shy, maybe. Such an amazing little town. Thanks for sharing! Safe travels......😊
No madison does not like being videoed 💀
@Maddies.life_ Oh well, I guess working in/with the public, it's going happen. 🫣
Best chocolate malt you will ever have!
Great video, John! It makes me want to try a banana split!!!
Had a banana split there two years ago. Quite tasty if I may say.

The home of Andy Griffith! You need to visit Snappys Dinner!
I made a video at Snappys Last year, here is the link to it.ua-cam.com/video/EYzzhPJznmg/v-deo.html

I always thought the red phone was to tell the president the nukes had been launched. This guy has the secrets...
I’d like to try the coffee one…Hagen Das coffee ice cream is my favorite of all time.
There is nothing better than a good Slaw Dog!!! I'm from Northern Utah and I Love them!!! Thank you for sharing this with us!!! God Bless Us All!!!

My only complaint about Blue Bell is it freezes rock solid, but oh well that’s why it’s called ice cream.
