When Ellie and Gomer meet in Freddy's office, she says that she's from "a little town in North Carolina I'm sure nobody ever heard of, about 100 miles from Mayberry." Then Gomer guesses, correctly, that she's from Siler City. However, in The Andy Griffith Show (1960) (which this show was spun-off from), Siler City is neither tiny nor 100 miles away; it's routinely referred to as a neighboring city, one where Mayberry residents go for things not available at home.
