Rurality Blog Hop #10 - Wally's Service Station, Mayberry

Wally's Service Station was built in 1937. It's told that when Andy Griffith was a young boy he'd walk from his house to the service station. We stopped here to book a Squad Car Tour.
The brick building next door is the jail. I'll show you that later!

I know I don't normally post more than one photo a day, but dang, this is Mayberry and I have so much to show you!


Lots of neat things inside, like old timey candy in jars! Christian looks like he found something unusual!


Here's Nick, Braden and Dalton paying for our Squad Car Tour. Totally recommend!
