Mount Airy
Walkbook
Along N Main Street
"Built on granite, rewritten in brick, remembered in song."
Main Street in Mount Airy is the real Mayberry — but it's also a granite town, a music town, and a town where buildings outlive their first purpose. This is a walking guide. Start at Snappy Lunch. End at the porch on North Main. Everything in between is the story.
