Around the Corner with John McGivern

Mayville

Season 7 Episode 6 | 26m 46sVideo has Closed Captions

Mayville's charming, old downtown buildings reminded John of TV's Mayberry.

John came up with a new name for Mayville. He couldn't help but think of Mayberry, what with the sheriff's car and the charming, old downtown buildings. So the combination of the "May" and the "berry" came out as Merry, and a "ville" is really a town, right? So John's new name for this idyllic community was born: Merrytown! Believe us, it's easy to be merry here.
