Everyone who is over 40 years of age probably remembers the TV show Mayberry RFD with Andy Griffith. Some people who I visited with after my talks reminisce about their small towns and how they wish that it could stay the same just like Mayberry.
While it was a great show, the make believe Mayberry wouldn’t make my agurb® list.
Do you remember Mayberry? While it was a wonderful place in which to live, other than Andy, Barney, Floyd, Gomer and the town drunk everybody else drove to Mount Pilot to work. No jobs….no future! And a bedroom town is severely challenged to generate sufficient tax revenue to pay for community services.
Most importantly, a community that is aging in place, without any good jobs, is very slowly and painfully dying.
