Mount Holly may not be Mayberry, but it comes so amazingly close to that iconic TV village that it's easy -- and wickedly tempting -- to confuse the two. Standing in the middle of Main Street, you might expect to see Sheriff Andy turning around the corner, but you'll soon discover that Mount Holly is a vibrant city that revels in its small town-ness, while scoffing at the idea of being a backwater. With a population of 13,656 (2012 Census estimates), the area is home to 19 manufacturing firms, including 10 major textile companies. In its own way, Mount Holly is a 21st-century version of small town America, bustling with industry, but brimming with charm and goodwill.

The area gets 44 inches of rain a year, but virtually no snow, so you can trade in your shovel for a good umbrella.

If you're up to a game of golf, head on over to the aptly-named Green Meadows Golf Course, where you can enjoy a beautifully-landscaped course that's forgiving enough for a beginner, yet still offers some challenging holes for more experienced club-wielders. If you prefer simpler pleasures, like a walk in the park, then you'll enjoy an afternoon at Mountain Island Park. The name is a bit of a misnomer, because it's neither on an island nor a mountain, but you'll still enjoy the lush green walking trail, plus water activities such as canoeing and fishing.
Hungry? When it's time to eat, locals flock to the City Cafe, which, despite its urban name, serves up platters of stick-to-your-ribs favorites like cheese biscuits, fried squash, burgers, fried chicken and salmon patties. If you're hankering for some fantastic Carolina-style barbecue, then Billy's Barbeque is the place to go. You'll find barbecue ribs and chicken, as well as Southern comfort dishes such as turkey and dressing, fried pork chops and hushpuppies, all served with gallons of sweet tea.
If you prefer something a bit stronger than tea, you'll want to join the regulars at Bull and Barrister Draft House, where you can take your pick of 33 TV screens while enjoying a huge selection of beers, specialty drinks, and treats such as oysters on the half shell.
In the end, Mayberry -- er, Mount Holly -- is a place that lingers in the mind like a graceful melody, a fragrant memory, or your first kiss (assuming, of course, it was something worth remembering). It may look (and feel) like Mayberry, but Mount Holly has an energetic vibe that helps keep the wheels of industry moving -- albeit always with a friendly smile.
