Two Chairs No Waiting
We’ve had folks asking about the folks that live in Mt. Airy, Andy’s real hometown, and interviewing them. The last two episodes were an interview I did with Russell Hiatt from over at Floyd’s Barbershop so I felt like it was very fitting to continue the theme this week with Charles Dowell.
Charles is the owner of The Snappy Lunch and the creator of the world famous Pork Chop Sandwich. All kinds of famous people have visited The Snappy Lunch. Charles is a fixture in Mt. Airy and offers a personal view of the town and the people who live in and visit Mt. Airy.
The interview was recorded in April 1998 in the back room of The Snappy Lunch there are dishes hitting each other and folks getting orders ready that can be heard in the background.

(NOTE: Sorry for those that got the garbled version of the audio on this episode. I made an uploading mistake on the MP3 file. It should be correct now. -Allan)
This interview was recorded on April 24, 1998 when Jan and I took a trip up to Mt. Airy for a visit.
One big memory of this trip was watching my son who was born in December 1996 get his first haircut. Russell is the person who did that first haircut for Adam and he even has a certificate from Russell testifing to the fact of that first haircut.
This is the conclusion of our two part interview with Russell Hiatt who is owner of Floyd’s City Barber Shop in Andy Griffith’s hometown of Mt. Airy, NC.
Russell tells us about some of the things in Mt. Airy that talked about on The Andy Griffith Show. People come from all over the country to sit in the barber chair and visit with Russell.

Two Chairs No Waiting
You requested interviews with some of the good people from Mt. Airy, NC. For those that might not know, Mt. Airy is Andy Griffith’s home town and home to Mayberry Days the last full weekend of September each year.
In the episode you’ll be hearing an interview I did with Russell Hiatt. Russell is the owner of Floyd’s City Barbershop located right next door to the Snappy Lunch on Main Street in Mt. Airy. Russell *is* “Floyd” to those that visit Mt. Airy and he is a wonderful friend to all who know him.
The interview was recorded on April 24, 1998 in the back room of the barbershop so there’s a good bit of conversation in the background but I know you’ll find it worth listening.
