Driving through Morgantown, so we stopped to see the Don Knotts statue. He always made me laugh and his statue is still making me smile.

We found this while eating Thai food close by. Don Knotts looks like he did on TV. His huge smile is contagious; you just have to smile when you see him. A really fun place for pictures. He is in the middle of town.

Great statue, but watch out -- you might get harassed by the guys hanging out at the bar across the street.
[Joe, 10/10/2016]The Don Knotts statue was unveiled in July 2016.
We stopped by the New Metropolitan Theater today, and Don's star has been jackhammered out! There are small yellow wooden barricades around it, and no explanation was available when we inquired inside. Boo!
