Mom-ument - Whistler's Mother statue Granite steps actually are quite tall and go up several flights. There must've been alot of man-hours involved in cutting and setting so many stones. The interesting thing is this monument was slipped in right between two homes in a residential district. Steps lead up above the statue further up the hill, making me wonder where they went?
The town itself is cute and scenic. The view from the statue is a nice direct view down one of the large avenues. Not much else specifically to see in the small town though. [May Snyder, 08/04/2008]
