George Lindsey as Mayberry's Goober
Actor George Lindsey’s costume drew overflow crowds Friday (8/27/2010) at the Andy Griffith Museum, the Charlotte Observer reported. It’s the anchor of a Mayberry renaissance helping to revive this small town.
Mount Airy’s downtown has become a Mayberry theme park based on the hamlet in “The Andy Griffith Show,” which topped the ratings on CBS from 1960 to 1968.
Lindsey, who is 75 and doesn’t travel much, didn’t appear Friday but sent Jim Clark to speak for him. “He told me to say Goober says, ‘Hey!’ Clark told museum visitors.
