At the same time I submitted tips to the Roadside America website and phone app which added Snappy Lunch to their service and updated their Floyd’s Barber Shop tip, I also submitted a couple more. The first was a correction to their existing tip on Aunt Bee’s Room at the Mayberry Motor Lodge.
By the way, I was notified about the acceptance of my corrections a few days before I was notified that my new tips had been accepted, likely because the corrections were about attractions the editors did not need to verify actually existed.
The previous tip someone had submitted was from just last year and stated you could sleep in the room with all of Aunt Bee’s belongings. I submitted a correction and a photo that was accepted.
Better yet, the editors changed their old headline section and made it clear you cannot spend the night in the room.
The final tip I submitted was on a relatively new attraction in Mount Airy, the brick sculptures on “the whittling wall.” A North Carolina artist created these beautiful sculptures which show six actual people from Mount Airy along with two who are general representations of the mill industry in town and the reason the whittling wall got its name.
The website used one of the full-size photos and another as a small thumbnail image at the top of the page. The app used all three I submitted.
The Whittling Wall sculptures are a beautiful and interesting addition to what is already a beautiful town to visit.
I am glad to have played some small part in spreading the word about just a few of Mount Airy’s many attractions.
Can’t wait to visit for my first time this year during Mayberry Meet-Up!
Will you be there Randy?
Of course, Johnna! You’ll love it.
